Surrogacy

When someone carries a pregnancy for intended parents.

Surrogacy

In the UK surrogacy is legal but surrogacy agreements are not legally enforceable, commercial arrangements are not allowed and only reasonable expenses may be paid. Legal advice is strongly recommended. Law reform has been proposed, so check GOV.UK for current rules.
