In fact, the Act details a straightforward process for Intended Parent to establish <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-and-legal-parentage\/\">legal parentage<\/a> for children born via gestational surrogacy under the law. This means the Intended Parents and not the gestational surrogate and\/or her husband\/partner are listed on the birth certificate without the need for court orders assigning such <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-parental-rights\/\">rights<\/a> where they are biologically related to the child(ren). Pre and <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-post-birth-arrangements\/\">post birth<\/a> orders are available when there are no genetic ties to the child(ren).<\/p>\r\n<p>The Gestational Surrogacy Act lists the following <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-eligibility-criteria\/\">requirements<\/a>:<\/p>\r\n<p>At least one Intended Parent must be genetically related to the child to be eligible for the simplified \u00a0process of establishing parentage via the Act.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-contracts-and-agreements\/\">Surrogacy contracts<\/a> are mandated and must prove consent. Medical doctors licensed in Illinois as well as licensed attorneys representing both sides must sign a certifying statement and such statement must be executed before the birth of the child(ren). The certified statements (original copies) must be delivered to the hospital where delivery is planned to take place.<\/p>\r\n<p>All surrogacy journeys in the state must involve licensed attorneys and signed contracts. This and the other requirements outlined in the Gestational Surrogacy Act are there to protect the rights of everyone involved. Surrogacy contracts explicitly outline what is expected of both sides including responsibilities, rights, and compensation due to the surrogate throughout the journey and at completion. No journey should begin without being on the same page with respect to acceptable protocols, compensation, <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-risks-and-complications\/\">risks<\/a>, and how to handle unexpected complications. In Illinois, you must have a detailed agreement in place prior to beginning the medical aspect of surrogacy.<\/p>\r\n<p>For more information on the requirements in the state, a licensed attorney can guide you with all of the legal specifics. As a result of surrogacy-friendly laws on the books, Illinois ranks high on the list of most desired locations for surrogacy journeys. Surrogacy Place created our own <a href=\"https:\/\/my.surrogacyplace.com\/attorney\/directory\">attorney directory<\/a> as a resource.<\/p>\r\n<p>What about <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/traditional-surrogacy-vs-gestational-surrogacy\/\">traditional surrogacy<\/a>? While not covered in the Illinois Gestational Surrogacy Act, traditional surrogacy is allowed because it is not explicitly forbidden. Intended Parents and surrogates interested in traditional surrogacy should note that there are additional risks because of the biological relationship between carrier and child(ren). Therefore, most completed surrogacy journeys in Illinois and elsewhere are with gestational surrogates. This does not mean you cannot have a successful traditional surrogacy journey in Illinois. A qualified attorney can walk you through the risk and rewards of such an arrangement should that be the best option for you and your <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-with-a-family-member\/\">family<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_surrogates_in_Illinois_be_compensated\"><\/span><strong>Can surrogates in Illinois be compensated?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Yes. Illinois provides clear guidance for the <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/altruistic-surrogacy-vs-commercial-surrogacy\/\">commercial surrogacy<\/a> arrangements that takes place in the state.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Im_interested_in_surrogacy_without_using_a_third-party_agency_Is_that_an_option\"><\/span><strong>I\u2019m interested in surrogacy without using a third-party agency. Is that an option?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Yes. There isn\u2019t a need to use a surrogacy agency. Some Intended Parents or surrogates like the handholding that a concierge service provides, but there are many valid reasons why an <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/independent-surrogacy-journey\/\">independent journey<\/a> is preferred. Some of those reasons include financial incentives (for both sides), direct vetting with a wider pool of potentials, and the potential for a closer relationship on both sides that feels less like a business transaction.<\/p>\r\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember with or without an agency, choosing the right partner is critical for a successful journey. Know what you\u2019re looking for and who your ideal match is ahead of time. Consider things like reasons for wanting a surrogacy journey, stance on termination, medical history, and more. Communication style is key. For many Intended Parents, not being able to achieve a <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-pregnancy\/\">pregnancy<\/a> on their own can be emotional; for many surrogates, wanting the Intended Parents directly involved in the journey is usually important.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Am_I_eligible_to_be_an_Intended_Parent\"><\/span><strong>Am I eligible to be an Intended Parent? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>In Illinois, everyone has equal protection under the law and this is codified further in the Gestational Surrogacy Act. This includes married\/unmarried, LGBTQ+, and a wide variety of alternative family structures. The Gestational Surrogacy Act covers everyone.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div>\r\n<h2><strong><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.

Should you forgo an agency?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<div>\r\n<p>There are thousands of people who chose to do their surrogacy journey independently and there are many reasons for this. Intended Parents often prefer to save money on expensive agency matching fees, and many are able to offer surrogates more money since they don\u2019t have so much going to the agency. Going independent also allows both sides to vet a wide pool of people vs. the small handful of profiles an agency is willing to show them. Then there\u2019s the long wait times \u2013 Intended Parents can wait over a year, sometimes 18 months or longer for an agency to match them. <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/affordable-surrogacy\/\">Independent surrogacy<\/a> allows greater control over the process which can significantly shorten wait times.<\/p>\r\n<p>Beyond matching, agencies don\u2019t do very much coordination. Sure, they may coordinate travel and make appointments, but these are simple tasks that don\u2019t require tens of thousands of dollars for the service.<\/p>\r\n<p>At the end of the day, both surrogates and Intended Parents are served by picking qualified medical and legal professionals. They and they alone are ultimately responsible for clearing and vetting matches, whether going through an agency or going independent.<\/p>\r\n<p>Many surrogates, especially experienced surrogates, but many first-timers as well, are more satisfied with their <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-stories\/\">experiences<\/a> under an independent journey. <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/independent-journeys\/\">Read about some of the reasons<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Im_trying_to_wrap_my_mind_around_all_the_expenses_related_to_surrogacy_What_can_I_expect\"><\/span><strong>I\u2019m trying to wrap my mind around all the expenses related to surrogacy.
