Fertility clinics in Arizona- Suggestions

So basically the procedure is the same as in a classic IVF. But do I need also a lawyer? What happens if the surrogate wants to keep the baby? How is the legislation regarding surrogacy in Arizona?

Hi flip,

first of all, in order to understand the concept of surrogacy, you have to know that there are two types of surrogacies- traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy. Traditional surrogacy means that the surrogate herself contributes with her eggs which makes her the biological mother of the child. Due to the emotional implication of the surrogate and legal complications, this practice is becoming more and more redundant.

Nowadays, clinics perform gestational surrogacy which means that it’s either the intended mother or an egg donor who contributes with her eggs. This is to prevent the emotional involvement of the surrogate mother which is referred to as gestational carrier in this form.

Now to your question regarding legislation. A so-called pre-birth order stipulates the intended parents as the legal parents before the baby is born. Thus, it is not possible for the gestational carrier to keep the baby should she change her mind.
