Bringing A Child Into The World Is Amazing

Ensuring you’re comfortable with the whole arrangement and completing it as swiftly as possible is our number one priority.
We are experienced in dealing with cases involving domestic surrogacy arrangements in the UK and also in worldwide destinations such as the USA, India and Ukraine.
The legal position is not straightforward with regard to international surrogacy as there is no harmonisation of the laws in different countries.
If you wish to bring your child home to the UK, UK law will apply. You will need to apply for a Parental Order in order to have you recognised as the legal parents.regardless of the legal position in the country where the child was born.
