I will reside in more than one country with my surrogate-born child how can I ensure legal parental status internationally?

There are no international agreements governing surrogacy arrangements. This creates international conflicts of law and a legal patchwork effect around the world which can be compounded when intended parents and families formed through surrogacy have an international lifestyle or multi-jurisdictional aspects to their personal and/or professional situations.

English law applies its own law on surrogacy and does not automatically recognize foreign parentage orders or foreign birth certificates naming intended parents as the parents of their surrogate born children. This can make a surrogate born child stateless and parentless without recognised legal parents and status in a country.

In the absence of specialist legal advice, parents, children and families created through surrogacy can lack legal protection and security in the UK and internationally. We can provide effective, specialist, and tailored legal advice on international surrogacy law, acquisition of legal parenthood and parental responsibility for a surrogate-born child, applying for a parental order in the English Family Court, and other complex family law issues.
