LGBTQ Surrogacy in New York

The Gestational Surrogacy Law allows LGBT+ New Yorkers and same-sex couples struggling with fertility to start a family. Previously, the law denied freedom for gestational surrogacy because of archaic laws. In a recent development, several organizations and fertility centers are helping same-sex couples with fostering and adoption process. According to the law, LGBTQ surrogacy must cover insurance coverage for same-sex couples concerning IVF, surrogacy, and other fertility treatments.

Single Parent Surrogacy in New York

In New York, surrogacy laws are similar for single parents and couples who are focusing on growing their families through the surrogacy process. However, in case of the single-parent surrogacy, the IVF process is used to create an embryo to be carried to term by a surrogate mother. Single intended parents can identify a potential donor and carry out the surrogacy process as applicable for intended parents.
