Surrogacy in New Jersey – Statutory, FDA-Compliant & Parentage-Focused

Surrogacy in New Jersey – Statutory, FDA-Compliant & Parentage-Focused

New Jersey stands as one of the most progressive states in the U.S. for gestational surrogacy. This guide outlines the surrogacy process in New Jersey—what “statutory permissibility” entails, the importance of FDA compliance, the requirements for enforceable agreements, and the steps Surrogacy4All’s physician-led team follows to ensure a safe, transparent, and supportive journey from consultation to homecoming.

Surrogate Screening & Support

Case Study

From Match to Home in 14 Months.

Same-sex male couple with two euploid embryos stored at an FDA-registered clinic. After compliance checks and legal prep, they matched with a surrogate in eight weeks. Contracts finalized in 20 days. First transfer succeeded. Their pre-birth order was granted at 30 weeks; they went home 36 hours after delivery. Their success hinged on parallel processing: legal, insurance, and screening moved simultaneously—no idle weeks.
