What Is A Pre-birth Order?

A pre-birth order is a legal document that ensures that the intended parents have all the legal rights when the child is born and that they are listed on the birth certificate. Maryland courts grant pre-birth orders. The intended parents and gestational carrier enter into a gestational surrogacy agreement prior to obtaining a pre-birth order.

A gestational surrogacy agreement is a legal document that specifically sets out all the expectations and responsibilities between the surrogate and intended parent(s). The agreement is voluntary and consensual with everyone working together towards the goal. A gestational surrogacy agreement will cover issues like expenses, the birth of the child, the pregnancy, medical history and personal information, and other stipulations. Drafting a gestational surrogacy agreement is in everyone’s interest. An experienced attorney can assist you in making sure that all the terms are clear so that everyone can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
