If you are a gay man in California who is considering becoming a parent through surrogacy, congratulations! Simple Surrogacy welcomes you and invites you to explore our surrogacy process. Our Texas location gives us an advantage over other surrogacy agencies, one of them being a lower cost, and we pass that savings on to you to help you achieve the family of your dreams in California.
One of the first things you should learn as a gay male intended parent in California is that your state’s laws fully support surrogacy. In fact, since 2013, gestational surrogacy has been legal, unrestricted and well-regulated in California. Under state law, same sex couples who are intended parents are treated exactly the same as opposite sex couples. Gay men in California, like all intended parents, will need to create a legal surrogacy contract before the process can begin. This contract will cover things such as surrogate compensation (which is also legal in California), expectations that you have of your surrogate mother, and any potential circumstances that may arise during the surrogacy process. Pre-birth orders can also be drawn up to confirm your parental rights prior to the baby’s birth. The qualified attorneys working with Simple Surrogacy can help you to draft the necessary documents to meet your state’s requirements.
Another important thing to consider as a California gay man seeking surrogacy services is your ability to finance the process. There are many ways to pay for surrogacy expenses. You should know that in Texas, surrogacy fees are far less expensive than they would be in California, mainly due to the lower cost of living in Texas. When you choose Simple Surrogacy as your surrogacy agency, we will work with you to determine the most appropriate financing options for your situation.
If you are gay man in California who is considering surrogacy to become a parent, the importance of using a surrogacy agency to help you facilitate the surrogacy process cannot be stressed enough. Even though California’s surrogacy laws are fairly unrestrictive and straightforward, you need trained, qualified professionals to guide you through every step of the surrogacy process. The professionals at Simple Surrogacy will help you in finding an appropriate surrogate mother, drawing up the necessary legal documents and helping you to decide what type of relationship you wish to have, if any, with the surrogate mother after the baby’s birth.
