For many couples and individuals, the dream of starting or expanding a family is a deeply held desire. When biological limitations or other challenges stand in the way, surrogacy offers a beacon of hope. At Steslicki & Ghannam, PLC, we understand the profound emotions involved in this journey, and we are honored to guide Michigan families through the legal complexities of surrogacy with excellence, expertise, integrity, collaboration, and compassion.
Understanding Surrogacy in Michigan
Surrogacy is a process where a woman carries and delivers a child for another couple or individual (the intended parents). Michigan law recognizes and regulates surrogacy agreements, but it's crucial to navigate these regulations carefully to ensure the process is legally sound and protects the rights of all parties involved. There are generally two types of surrogacy arrangements: traditional and gestational. Traditional surrogacy involves the surrogate using her own egg, making her the biological mother of the child, whereas gestational surrogacy involves implanting an embryo created through in vitro fertilization (IVF), making the surrogate simply the carrier of the child who is biologically related to the intended parents. Because of the legal complexities and emotional considerations, most surrogacy cases are gestational, as is permitted by Michigan law.
