These cases provide valuable legal precedent and influence a framework of <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-ethics\/\">ethical<\/a> and legal standards in the state. While there are no statutes or regulations regarding the legality of surrogacy with specific surrogacy-related <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-eligibility-criteria\/\">requirements<\/a>, nothing in state law prevents its practice. On balance, the published cases regarding surrogacy help make Massachusetts a favorable location and there are a plethora of surrogacy-created families in the state.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is unknown if <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-contracts-and-agreements\/\">surrogacy contracts<\/a> are considered enforceable, though courts have decided they may be lawful in the past. It is not a given however, and how an individual court might rule in a matter of dispute in the future is unclear. There is the very reasonable assumption, however, that <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/gestational-surrogate\/\">gestational surrogacy<\/a> contracts would be treated as valid and upheld.<\/p>\r\n<p>Unlike with gestational surrogacy, any <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/traditional-surrogacy-vs-gestational-surrogacy\/\">traditional surrogacy<\/a> arrangements originating in Massachusetts are generally treated like adoption which means the traditional carrier is not immediately able to relinquish her <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-and-legal-parentage\/\">parental rights<\/a> though the child(ren) are usually placed under the care of the Intended Parents while the legal process of establishing parentage takes place. An experienced attorney can give provide more specific details on the process for a traditional surrogacy arrangement and what limitations may exist.<\/p>\r\n<p>For any and all legal questions, whether for gestational or traditional surrogacy, you should always turn to an experienced attorney that\u2019s directly handled surrogacy cases in the past. Surrogacy place has a <a href=\"https:\/\/my.surrogacyplace.com\/attorney\/directory\">list of licensed attorneys<\/a> which can be a great starting point in looking for the right legal representation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>How do you know if surrogacy is the right path to take? Ultimately, only you are qualified to answer that. Be armed with as much knowledge as possible and definitely take guidance from doctors and lawyers familiar with surrogacy.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_commercial_surrogate_commonplace_and_practiced_in_Massachusetts\"><\/span><strong>Is commercial surrogate commonplace and practiced in Massachusetts? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Yes. Surrogacy is a part of life in the state of Massachusetts and the courts tend to be favorable towards surrogacy.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_have_to_use_the_services_of_a_surrogacy_agency_to_find_surrogate_and_Intended_Parent_matches\"><\/span><strong>Do I have to use the services of a surrogacy agency to find surrogate and Intended Parent matches? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Nope, you are always free to do this on your own with the help of medical and legal professionals. As you ponder surrogacy in Massachusetts, ask yourself what you need to make your journey satisfying and successful. Knowing yourself and your needs will help you make the right decision in choosing a match for your journey. Many people that may be similar to you prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/affordable-surrogacy\/\">independent surrogacy<\/a>. You can learn about some of the reasons why below.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Massachusetts_LGBTQ_friendly_As_an_Intended_Parent_am_I_eligible_to_use_the_services_of_a_surrogate\"><\/span><strong>Is Massachusetts LGBTQ+ friendly? As an Intended Parent am I eligible to use the services of a surrogate? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>It should come as no surprise that the first state to legalize same-sex marriage in 2003 is LGBTQ+ friendly. Under Massachusetts law, all families pursuing surrogacy are treated equally under the law regardless of gender or sexual identity\/expression. This makes Massachusetts one of the most friendly states in relation to <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-for-same-sex-couples\/\">surrogacy for same sex couples<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Pre-birth orders are an option for couples who have at least one genetic tie to the child(ren) and Intended Parent spouses can be included. Non-biologically linked parents must complete a <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-post-birth-arrangements\/\">post-birth<\/a> adoption. In the case of traditional surrogacy, the Intended Parent(s) must go through a post-birth adoption with the expressed consent of the surrogate as a requirement. Licensed Attorneys can provide you with more information on how parentage is established via surrogacy in Massachusetts.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_access_emergency_Reproductive_healthcare_if_needed_in_the_state_of_Massachusetts\"><\/span><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.

For Intended Parents this includes considerable <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/how-much-does-surrogacy-cost\/\">cost<\/a> savings. Surrogates, too, can benefit. Bypassing agencies often allows more of the available budget to be used towards compensating the surrogate. This allows her to raise her base <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/paid-surrogacy\/\">compensation<\/a> to a level she feels is appropriate regardless of what\u2019s on the surrogacy agency rate card.<\/p>\r\n<p>Employing a service like Surrogacy Place for independent matching can also lead to a more thorough and personalized process with matching based on specific criteria, such as location, attitudes about fetus termination, and number of embryos\/embryo status.<\/p>\r\n<p>Exclusive agency contracts may also be problematic for some as the right match may not be affiliated with a particular agency. Electing to go independent can shield surrogates and Intended Parents from sales tactics that prioritize financial gain over finding an ideal match.<\/p>\r\n<p>Intended Parents who go independent often experience shorter wait times in surrogate matching as they are not restricted to surrogates who have happened to have registered with a particular agency. Surrogates often make the deliberate choice to go independent too. We have a <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/independent-journeys\/\">great overview on some of the many reasons why<\/a> for reference.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Surrogacy can be incredibly expensive.
