Here\u2019s an overview on some of the considerations to keep in mind when undergoing a surrogacy journey in Connecticut. Use the information below as a starting place to deepen your understanding of things to keep in mind when <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/considering-surrogacy\/\">considering surrogacy<\/a> in the Constitution State. Nothing listed below is intended to replace advice from a qualified Assisted Reproduction attorney. It is strongly recommended that you always seek legal advice from a qualified professional before you begin a surrogacy journey.<\/p>\r\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cga.ct.gov\/current\/pub\/chap_093.htm#sec_7-48a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conn. Gen. Stat. \u00a7 7-48a<\/a> enacted in 2011, Connecticut expressly allows surrogacy and mandates that pre-birth orders allow non-biological Intended Parents to be listed on the birth certificate. This protects the <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-rights\/\">legal rights<\/a> of many Intended Parents who start or grow their families via <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/gestational-surrogate\/\">gestational surrogacy<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/traditional-surrogacy-vs-gestational-surrogacy\/\">Traditional surrogacy<\/a> pre-birth orders however, are still prohibited, though traditional surrogacy is still practiced in Connecticut with local Assisted Reproduction attorneys in place to guide folks through this process. Remember, traditional surrogacy carries <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-risks-and-complications\/\">risks<\/a> to both sides because of the genetic relationship between the surrogate and the child(ren). As a result, most surrogacy arrangements in Connecticut cover <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/gestational-carrier-requirements\/\">gestational carriers<\/a> in order to make sure that all parties are protected during the process.<\/p>\r\n<p>Surrogacy contract jurisdiction usually follows the state the surrogate lives in, though sometimes contracts follow the state the Intended Parent(s) are a resident of and\/or where the embryo is transferred. Your chosen attorney can help you decide jurisdiction, however it is <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-ethics\/\">unethical<\/a> and quite possibly illegal to insist a surrogate move to another state for the purposes of a more surrogacy-friendly legal framework. <br \/>Whether you are an intended parent looking to expand your <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-with-a-family-member\/\">family<\/a> through surrogacy or a woman considering the possibility of becoming a surrogate, the process can be both exciting and daunting. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-agency-alternatives\/\">self-matching<\/a> service can help connect Intended Parents with surrogates, providing all parties with the ability to start a potential surrogacy journey with an agency.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_commercial_surrogacy_legal_in_the_state_of_Connecticut\"><\/span>Is commercial surrogacy legal in the state of Connecticut?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Absolutely.

These orders establish parentage prior to birth, generally allowing both Intended Parents to be recognized as the <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-and-legal-parentage\/\">legal parents<\/a> on the birth certificate. Pre-birth orders are available to LGBTQ+, married\/unmarried, and those using donor eggs or sperm.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-contracts-and-agreements\/\">Surrogacy contracts<\/a> follow the legal <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-eligibility-criteria\/\">requirements<\/a> in Connecticut and they address <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/paid-surrogacy\/\">compensation<\/a>, how often and when payments are made to the surrogate, a detailed discussion of the risks and the personal responsibilities of each party, general expectations during the journey, and outline health and pregnancy-related protocols, including who makes medical decisions during the journey.<\/p>\r\n<p>The transfer\/medical aspect of the journey begins when everyone is in agreement and signs a contract. Many IVF clinics will want to see your signed surrogacy agreement.<\/p>\r\n<p>To find a qualified professional who can help guide you, you can visit <a href=\"https:\/\/my.surrogacyplace.com\/attorney\/directory\">this attorney directory<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div>\r\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1408 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/surrogacy-place-ad1.jpg\" alt=\"surrogacy without the expensive surrogacy fees.
