Ladies, surrogacy is totally illegal in almost all countries and severely restricted in others (such as the UK and Canada - you can only pay for the mother's expenses) In Canada and the UK, the only other countries that it is legal, but very restricted in, still says that if mother wanted to keep the baby, you can all sod off. Mother keeps the baby. And legally you can only pay the expenses. The mother makes no profit. That's the way it should be. Well actually it should be outlawed altogether, but whatever.
Here, in the USA, it is much different. Surrogacy is totally unregulated in most states. If you have 20 grand, you can buy a baby. Many, many international couples come here to impregnante women and purchase their children.
NOW GET THIS!! This is totally SICK!! But in the states of California and Arkansas, there is something called a PRE-BIRTH ORDER. What this means is that at 6 months, if you have signed a contract to sell your child, your own flesh and blood child made from your egg and the intended father's sperm, you MUST give up that child. It contradicts every law on termination of parental rights, just because you signed a statement saying you would give up your baby at 6 months pregnant. If you msde the child with an egg donor's egg and the father's sperm, in most states, there is this PBO (pre-birth order) thing.
In addition to that....THERE IS NO ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!! Yes you heard me. No OBC. The "intended mother" or the woman married to the man that impregnated you, will go on the
original birth certificate. There is NO record of the mother, sealed, legal, illegal, or otherwise. It is the ultimate lie and I ask you, how long before they make pre birth surrenders enforceable for regular adoptions.
It is something that NEEDS to be changed. I just don't know how to do it
