Surrogacy in Florida

Starting a family with the help of a surrogate is a great option for someone who cannot carry their own child. Pinnacle Surrogacy Florida surrogates undergo medical, psychological and socioeconomic screening in advance so that they are ready for an immediate match with Intended Parents. Since surrogacy laws in Florida are defined and supportive, surrogacy in Florida is a great option for both surrogates and intended parents.

What Is Surrogacy?

Gestational surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman, called a surrogate, agrees to carry a pregnancy for someone else. Commercial surrogacy is completely legal in many states of US, including Florida and Georgia, and surrogates receive compensation for their commitment, time and effort. After the surrogate and intended parent(s) agree to work together and sign a surrogacy contract, an embryo, created at an IVF clinic, is transferred to the surrogate’s womb. Embryos can be can created using eggs and sperm from one or both of the intended parents, an egg donor or sperm donor. With gestational surrogacy, the surrogates have no genetic link to the baby they are carrying.

Becoming a Parent Through Surrogacy in Florida

How do intended parent(s) become the legal parents of their child after their surrogate gives birth? A pre-birth or pre-planned adoption order is the best way to protect your rights before the baby’s birth. Pre-birth orders are not required by law, but they are highly recommended and will help to expedite other legal processes after the baby’s birth. Your lawyer can help you apply for your pre-birth order along with your surrogacy contract.

After a baby is born via gestational surrogacy, the intended parent(s) have three days to petition the court for affirmation of parental status. Simply put, this is what will make your child legally yours. After this process, a new birth certificate is printed for the child with the names of the commissioning individual(s) listed as the baby’s parents.

Surrogacy in Florida for Same-Sex Couples

The state of Florida has a long history of assisting same-sex couples and gay individuals on their fertility journeys. Thanks to marriage equality, this process is easier today than it has been in the past. The state of Florida requires the commissioning couple in a gestational surrogacy to be legally married. As long as you are legally married to your partner, you have the same rights in surrogacy as heterosexual couples. This includes having both parents’ names printed on your child’s birth certificate after the affirmation of parental status.

“I can not express enough how truly incredible this agency is. As a first-time surrogate, it was incredibly overwhelming starting out, and I had spoken with several agencies. But [Pinnacle, formerly] Premium really stood out to me, as the advisor I spoke with made my decision to move forward with them so easy. You can tell their advisors really truly care and the majority have been surrogates themselves so it’s a very personal and understanding experience. I would 110% recommend [Pinnacle, formerly] Premium if you are considering surrogacy!! I would use them over and over again and would refer them personally without hesitation. This journey so far has been everything I dreamt of and more thanks to this incredible team of people!”

Or C’s experience with us:

"I researched many clinics to become a Surrogate and I fell in love with this agency. Dr. Jain answers all your questions and helps you out with any issues. The nurses are very nice and explain everything in detail. It’s great when you can call and they can give answers to questions that may even come up later in the process. Julie, Lanesha, Gaby, and Patricia are just some of the lovely ladies that walk you through everything. I even had some issues with the shots but the nurses walked me through and made sure I had every available resource. I am now pregnant with twins and can’t wait to do it again.”
