Which USA States are best for Surrogacy?

Some USA States are better for surrogacy than others. The best states for surrogacy for a surrogate mother are:

California
Colorado
Connecticut
District of Columbia
Delaware
Maine
New Hampshire
New Jersey
Nevada
Vermont
Washington

We recommend surrogacy be done in the above listed Green States, with California being one of our favorites due to fact that surrogacy is permitted for all parents including LGBTQ, both parents’ names will be on the birth certificate, and we can get pre-birth orders in these states easily. Even if you live in a different state then the above, you can legally be a surrogate mom in these states by working with an IVF Clinic we can recommend for the Intended Parents to use, in these states. The worst states for surrogacy are:

Louisiana
Michigan
Nebraska

We also have issues with parentage order laws and surrogacy contracts in:

Arizona
Idaho
Indiana
Tennessee
Virginia
Wyoming

In many of these states the problem for a surrogate mother and Intended Parents is that published case law in these states may prohibit compensation for the surrogate mother under surrogacy contracts. In addition, it is possible that a birth certificate with both parents’ names on the birth certificate is impossible to obtain.
