Once you return to the UK, we have a trusted barrister that can help you with the final legal process, which is determined by the parental order. This is a process where you will be issued a UK birth certificate for your baby and grant full parental rights to you.
Once you arrive home to the UK with your baby, one of the key things you need to start to think about is the legal application for a parental order which takes place in the High Court, London. In order for you to be recognised as the legal parents under UK law and to legally remove the parental rights of the surrogate (as under UK law she is regarded as the birth mother, regardless of what a foreign birth certificate states).
This is an essential part of the surrogacy journey and the final part of the journey. We highly recommend our Surrogacy consultant and barrister of over 25 years to undertake the parental order work as an international surrogacy consultant for you. With his personal experience and professional cases with our agency and many others he will make this process as smooth as possible for you with.
We recommend after 20 weeks of the surrogacy pregnancy to contact us to put you directly in touch.*
