Whether you are an intended parent or a surrogate mother candidate, The Surrogacy SOURCE provides optimal conditions for San Francisco surrogate mothers. Our commitment is to provide you with the most compassionate and skilled care available.
As a national organization with a local presence in the San Francisco area, we offer a unique combination of personal, local care combined with one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive pools of surrogate mothers. For San Francisco surrogacy mothers, this means superior care with less travel. For intended parents, you will have the advantage of a case manger in the San Francisco area combined with access to a larger database of potential surrogate mothers. |
Each of our San Francisco surrogate mothers are carefully screened and counseled as to her roles and obligations. Surrogate mothers who choose to work through The Surrogacy SOURCE are personally interviewed and thoroughly informed of our surrogate agency processes, both legal and medical, that are required of this commitment before they proceed. There are many factors to consider for all of the parties involved including surrogacy laws, costs, fees, requirements and more. It is our role to address any possible concerns and make their conclusions as clear as possible to the intended parents and surrogate mother.
California Surrogacy Laws
California surrogacy laws are some of the most favorable in the United States for recipient parents working with surrogacy agencies. Past rulings have supported the use of gestational carriers, the LGBT community and the use of non-genetically related embryos (ie: donor sperm and donor egg). Learn more about California surrogacy laws:
- Johnson v. Calvert was one of the most influential surrogacy cases in the nation. This case was decided upon by the California Supreme Court and ruled that the ‘intended parents should be recognized as the natural and legal parents’.
- The Uniform Parentage Act was used to uphold surrogacy in several cases. In 2005 it was ruled that a lesbian couple could be the legal parents of a child conceived through surrogacy.
- In 1998 a couple used donor egg and donor sperm to create an embryo, and then had a gestational surrogate carry their child. It was ruled that when a married couple intends to have a child using a non-genetically related embryo and a surrogate, they are the legal parents.
Surrogacy laws vary from state to state, therefore it can be helpful to work with surrogacy agencies that have a local presence in California. We can assist you in finding a qualified reproductive lawyer in Northern California familiar with local surrogacy laws. |
