What you need to know about surrogacy in Indiana
Indiana has an older statute stating surrogacy contracts are void — but in practice, gestational surrogacy is regularly carried out through parentage actions that don't rely on contract enforcement in the way the statute addresses. Pre-birth orders are available in many cases. Attorneys experienced in Indiana surrogacy navigate around the older statute using parentage law.
What this means for you as a surrogate
Indiana surrogacy is genuinely workable, but it requires legal expertise specific to the state's nuanced situation. An experienced attorney and agency familiar with Indiana practice are essential here.
