What you need to know about surrogacy in Maryland
No specific statute, but courts — particularly in the D.C. metro area — have meaningful experience with surrogacy cases. Compensated gestational surrogacy is generally permitted, and pre-birth orders are often available. Working with attorneys familiar with Maryland's specific practice areas is valuable.
What this means for you as a surrogate
Maryland is a workable, active environment for surrogacy. Your independent attorney will confirm exactly how the process applies to your situation before you sign anything.
