What you need to know about surrogacy in Missouri
Missouri has no statute specifically prohibiting compensated surrogacy, and courts — particularly in the Kansas City and St. Louis areas — have developed consistent practice supporting gestational surrogacy. Pre-birth orders are generally available. Working with attorneys experienced in the state's established practice areas is important.
What this means for you as a surrogate
Missouri is a workable, active environment for surrogacy. Your independent attorney will confirm exactly how the process applies to your situation before you sign anything.
