Gestational / Traditional Surrogacy

In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate is not the genetic mother of the child. Instead, the egg used is either the Intended Mother’s egg or a donor egg. By contrast, in a traditional surrogacy the surrogate’s egg is used. Because the surrogate is also the genetic mother, traditional surrogacy is a much riskier arrangement legally. Furthermore, Texas law does not recognize traditional surrogacy, which means that any traditional surrogacy arrangement is legally handled like an adoption and generally is not recommended.

Gestational Agreement Laws

Texas is one of the states that does have surrogacy laws, but only if you meet specific requirements. If the following requirements are met, then you may be able to take advantage of Texas’ gestational agreement laws and obtain a pre-birth order:

  1. If there are two intended parents, they must be married to each other;
  2. The egg(s) must come from the intended mother or an egg donor, NOT the surrogate;
  3. The intended mother is unable to conceive or safely carry a pregnancy to term; and
  4. The surrogate (gestational carrier) has previously carried at least one pregnancy safely to term and has no reason to believe she cannot do so again.

If you do not meet these criteria, there may be other options available to you. Furthermore, as legislation changes, these criteria are subject to change.

Intended Parents

When using a surrogate, an enforceable surrogacy or gestational agreement is crucial so having an attorney with experience handling family formation through assisted reproduction is a must.

Surrogates

Any surrogacy arrangement will involve a surrogacy or gestational agreement or contract. It may also involve some type of legal proceeding.

We were blessed to know Jenny personally before we needed her professional services, but several times during our adoption process people commented that she was the best of the best. It’s amazing to see how God puts just the right people into your lives to help His plan transpire!

Jason & Shayna

“We are a same-sex couple and Jenny helped us form our family through two adoptions and a surrogacy. Each situation had its own complications, which she helped us navigate at every step. Her depth of knowledge, attention to detail and to her clients’ best interests are unparalleled. In light of uncertainty and changing laws for families like ours, we continue to realize with gratitude that the decisions she helped us make are still providing us priceless peace of mind, all these years later.”
