What is a Surrogacy Agreement?
A surrogacy agreement is a binding legal document that guides the entire surrogacy process for intended parents and surrogates.
The surrogacy contract guides the entire Surrogacy Journey, clearly outlining each party's rights, roles, and responsibilities before, during, and after the pregnancy.
Benefits of a Comprehensive Surrogacy Agreement
When the surrogacy contract is comprehensive and done correctly, it can help limit disputes and miscommunication while protecting everyone involved in the surrogacy process:
- The intended parents
- The surrogate
- The baby
Legal Framework in Kenya
The Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill, 2022, once enacted into law will ensure there is a legal framework in place guiding on surrogacy in Kenya.
Key Components of a Surrogacy Agreement
- • Parental rights and responsibilities
