Effective February 15, 2021, gestational surrogacy is permitted by statute in New York. The new statute, the Child Parent Security Act (CPSA), permits compensated gestational surrogacy for the first time and repeals New York’s existing statute that declares compensated surrogacy contracts void and unenforceable.
Under the new statute, courts will grant pre-birth parentage orders to heterosexual couples, same-sex couples, and single parents, but the order will not be effective until birth. The statute currently applies only to Intended Parents who currently reside in New York State and at least one parent has been a resident for at least six months. (Check back here for any changes to this requirement.)
At Love & Beyond, our onboarding process enables you to be matched with a pre-investigated and pre-trained surrogate who is medically, psychologically, and socially cleared to start the process right away without incurring additional costs unless required by the IVF clinic you have picked.
