An overview of the steps involved in the Florida surrogacy process.

Making the decision to become a surrogate mother is both exciting and life-changing. Not only are you making it possible for parents to raise a child of their own, but you’re also getting the chance to experience pregnancy with a significant financial reward to look forward to.

The process of becoming a surrogate mother has an array of complexities, and understanding what this undertaking entails is essential. By working with a surrogacy lawyer, you will have access to the legal tools necessary to successfully fulfill your role as a surrogate mother.

Are You Eligible To Be A Surrogate Mother?

The first step in the surrogacy process is determining whether or not you are eligible to qualify as a surrogate mother. Surrogacy law in Florida is very clear when it comes to these matters, as it takes into account the health and safety of both the surrogate and the baby involved.

In the state of Florida, the basic requirements of becoming a surrogate include:

You must be between the ages of 21 and 42 years old.
You must be mentally and physically healthy – with no history of drug use or smoking.
You cannot have a criminal record, nor can any members of your household.
You must have completed a healthy pregnancy and delivery in the past, without a history of preterm labor, gestational diabetes, or blood pressure problems.
You must either be a U.S. citizen or have lawful status in the U.S.
You must have a stable financial situation, and cannot be receiving state or federal financial aid. This includes public housing, section 8, cash assistance, or welfare.

Given the intricate nature of surrogacy eligibility, speaking with a legal professional about your situation is recommended. This will allow you to go over each requirement meticulously to ensure that there are no misunderstandings or confusion.

Choosing A Surrogacy Attorney

Once you have established your eligibility as a surrogate mother, the next step is getting started with the legal and logistical process. The best plan of action to initiate this process is by hiring an experienced lawyer who fulfills the role of both a legal and logistical professional that guides you through the process.

In addition to the required legal work, an expert traditional surrogacy lawyer helps individuals match with potential parents and provide resources for those seeking to become surrogate mothers. Having support throughout the process will be immensely helpful for both you and the intended parents, as it ensures that every aspect of the legal and logistical process is done correctly and efficiently.

Establishing A Surrogacy Contract

After matching with parents, you must come up with a surrogacy contract. This is a legal agreement made between the surrogate mother and the intended parents. In this contract, legal parental rights are specified for the intended parents, along with payment for the surrogate, social functions for all parties during the process, and more.

Surrogate legal paperwork can be tedious and complicated – but it also offers protection and clarity for both the surrogate and intended parents. That’s why it is so important to work with a professional that is familiar with these issues and how to effectively manage them.

The Financial Benefits Of Becoming A Surrogate In Florida

Surrogates in Florida can make anywhere from $35k-$75k. This can often include additional monthly allowances provided throughout your journey as a surrogate mother. Compensation increases for multiple pregnancies, and for subsequent surrogacy pregnancies.
