Surrogacy, parentage and donor conception
Gestational surrogacy: Permitted subject to statutory conditions
Florida has a gestational surrogacy statute (Fla. Stat. §742.15) providing for binding contracts for married intended parents, alongside a separate preplanned adoption route (Fla. Stat. §63.213) used in other circumstances. Which route applies depends on marital status and the gametes used.
Parentage: Under the gestational surrogacy route, parentage can generally be confirmed without a formal adoption. The preplanned adoption route involves additional court review.
