In the UK, surrogacy is allowed, but only if the surrogate does it for free. This means that you can’t pay them to carry your child; you can only pay them for reasonable costs. Until a parental order is obtained, the surrogate is the legal mother. Once that is done, the intended parents can become the legal parents.

In the UK, you can’t pay a surrogate anything other than their acceptable costs, like maternity clothes, travel, and lost wages. A parenting order can’t be made until the family court says it’s okay to pay more than what’s necessary.

This is the agreement between the surrogate and the couple who want to have a child. The Surrogacy Agreement will spell out what the intended parents and the surrogate are responsible for and how the money will be handled. we are with you with our lawyer to smooth these steps of the process. 

Post-birth orders are legal documents that determine who the parents of a baby are after the baby is born, especially in places where agreements before birth aren’t allowed. These orders rely on the surrogacy arrangement made beforehand. After the baby arrives, the surrogate may have a limited time to question or challenge this agreement. However, in most states, if the surrogacy contract is carefully drafted, it’s very difficult for the surrogate to contest it.

Sometimes, this court order is called a Declaration of Parentage. It’s usually done during the last few months of pregnancy. This order ensures that the hospital lists the names of the intended parents on the baby’s birth certificate. In states that allow this kind of order, the name of the surrogate mother won’t be included on the birth record unless the intended parents request it.

Although the expenses will vary depending on personal circumstances, it is estimated that the cost of using a surrogate in the UK is typically around£10,000–£15,000.
