U.S. Surrogacy for Germany Intended Parents
AI Smart Summary German parentage and citizenship rules can produce a different result than the U.S. birth-state parentage order, which is why coordinated advice from both German and U.S. counsel is needed rather than assuming the U.S. outcome will be mirrored automatically under German law. Citizenship transmission to the child and civil-status registration are the […]
U.S. Surrogacy for France Intended Parents
AI Smart Summary French civil-status recognition and parentage questions for children born via foreign surrogacy have evolved through legislation and case law over time, and current French guidance should be obtained in writing before treatment starts, since the specific recognition pathway has changed as French courts and legislation have addressed the issue. A U.S. parentage […]
U.S. Surrogacy for Colombia Intended Parents
AI Smart Summary Colombia does not have a comprehensive statute specifically governing gestational surrogacy, and the subject is addressed through general civil and family-law principles applied case by case, so Colombian families pursuing U.S. surrogacy should obtain current, specific advice from Colombian counsel on parentage recognition and consular registration for the child. This is a […]
U.S. Surrogacy for China Intended Parents
AI Smart Summary Chinese families pursuing U.S. gestational surrogacy need current guidance on nationality, travel-document issuance, and household-registration (hukou) questions for the child, confirmed through qualified Chinese counsel and the relevant consular authority rather than assumed from general information.

U.S. Surrogacy for Chile Intended Parents
AI Smart Summary Chile does not have a comprehensive statute specifically regulating gestational surrogacy, so recognition of parentage for a child born via U.S. surrogacy and completion of Chilean civil and consular registration depend on current administrative and judicial practice rather than one fixed procedure. Chilean families should obtain current, specific advice from Chilean counsel […]
U.S. Surrogacy for Canada Intended Parents
AI Smart Summary Canadian families pursuing U.S. gestational surrogacy need to plan citizenship transmission, provincial parentage recognition, and travel-document steps together, since these can vary by the family’s specific province and are handled separately from the U.S. birth-state parentage process. Counsel familiar with both the family’s province and the U.S. birth state should be retained […]
U.S. Surrogacy for Brazil Intended Parents
AI Smart Summary Brazil’s domestic surrogacy framework, set by Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) resolution rather than a comprehensive statute, permits only altruistic surrogacy among relatives within specific degrees, which leads many Brazilian families to consider surrogacy abroad, including in the United States. A child born via U.S. surrogacy needs to be registered with the […]
U.S. Surrogacy for Australia Intended Parents
AI Smart Summary Australian families pursuing U.S. gestational surrogacy need advice on citizenship by descent for the child and on state or territory-specific parentage recognition, since these are handled at the state or territory level and should be tailored to the parents’ specific place of residence rather than assumed to be uniform across Australia. Advice […]
Surrogacy Insurance Denials and Coverage Gaps 2027 Report

What Percentage of Surrogacy Agencies Use Independent Escrow
AI Smart Summary Five of the 338 captured agency entries (under 2 percent) were coded with specific independent-escrow evidence, and eight had any specific escrow-holder evidence at all — the remaining large majority simply did not publicly disclose their escrow structure, which this report treats as an information gap rather than evidence of in-house or […]
