Surrogate motherhood<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

For those who choose traditional surrogacy or gestational surrogacy as their path to parenthood, the surrogacy process can be emotional, overwhelming and often raises many questions on the legal side. Especially in Europe regarding the fact that surrogacy, in most countries, is either outlawed or not legally framed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

From the earliest stages we welcome families to discuss their specific needs and concerns. Together we discuss the best possible plan of action considering every aspect of the project; such as expenses, travel distance, legal complications and administration.<\/p>\n

Many prospective parents decide to pursue surrogacy in the United States to take advantage of its surrogacy laws and the United States\u2019 citizenship policies. Considering the fact that California is one of the friendliest states towards surrogacy it is a very popular destination for couples wishing to conceive with a surrogate. The legality of surrogacy in California was officially confirmed in 2013. Not only is surrogacy legal in California, it\u2019s a well-regulated and common way for people to expand their families.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
