Welcome to California Premium Surrogacy, a Los Angeles-based surrogacy agency. To make surrogacy journeys as simple as possible, we work with surrogates from California, Nevada, Texas, Washington, and Oregon and serve intended parents from the United States, China, and worldwide.
California Surrogacy
California surrogacy agency is a welcoming state with numerous options when it comes to assisted reproductive technology. It’s easy to see why gestational surrogacy has grown in popularity. This process is made possible by modern technology, which is relatively safe and effective.
Surrogacy is classified into two types: traditional and gestational. Traditional surrogacy involves using a surrogate’s egg and the sperm of an intended father or donor to create an embryo, which is then implanted into the surrogate’s womb. Gestational surrogacy creates the embryo using both intended parent(s) or donor egg and sperm, which means the surrogate is not genetically related to the baby.
Today, gestational surrogacy is by far the most popular option. Traditional surrogacy is not illegal in California; however, it is not widely regulated and is generally discouraged for ethical reasons. California Premium Surrogacy only provides gestational surrogacy services.
Surrogacy is legal in California.
California has a long history of welcoming surrogates. This means that the laws are favorable and relatively simple to navigate for surrogates and intended parents. Before any medical procedures can begin in California, the intended parent(s) must complete the legal process with their surrogate. This ensures transparency and helps to ease an often stressful journey. It also implies that the intended parent(s) establish their parentage before the birth of their child. This process cannot begin in some other states until the child is born.
Understanding Surrogacy Laws in California
While California is known for its surrogacy-friendly policies, it is still essential to research these laws yourself when planning your surrogacy journey, so you know your rights.
Both the intended parent(s) and the surrogate must have their legal representation in California. This means that intended parents and surrogates cannot share attorneys. California Surrogacy Laws also require creating, signing, and notarizing a surrogacy contract before embryo transfer.
The surrogacy contract will establish the legal terms of the surrogacy process. This will benefit both the surrogate and the intended parent (s). Your fertility clinic and your lawyer can answer any additional legal questions about surrogacy.
Surrogacy in California does not require couples to be legally married, making it an excellent option for many different types of partnerships. Surrogacy is also an option for single parents and parents of the same gender.
Surrogacy in California for LGBT Couples and Individuals
In California, LGBT couples have the same legal rights as heterosexual couples, including the right to assisted reproduction. Of course, understanding those rights can be complex for any couple or individual, so it’s critical to consult with both your lawyer and your fertility clinic if you have any questions.
Because gay and lesbian couples cannot use both of their genetic information to create an embryo, they must decide who will donate their egg or sperm during the surrogacy process. They will also need to choose an egg or sperm donor to complete the process. California Premium Surrogacy is pleased to assist LGBT couples and individuals with their fertility journeys. We will assist you in selecting an egg donor, sperm donor, and surrogate to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
