Intended Parents or Surrogates, WE CAN HELP!

There are two kinds of Surrogacy in Florida and there is a significant difference between these two types.

In Gestational Surrogacy the surrogate is carrying a child or children without contributing an egg from her body.   Florida statute provides that the gestational carrier has no rights to custody of the child or children she is carrying.

In a Traditional Surrogacy arrangement, generally, the surrogate is using her own egg that is artificially inseminated with the sperm of the Intended Father. These are called pre-planned adoptions and the surrogate has 48 hours after she gives birth where she may rescind her consent to surrender the child.
