Summary
Details

As a recent Supreme Court judgment remarked, the law relating to surrogacy in England and Wales can sometimes seem fragmented and obscure. This book provides the reader with a practical guide that starts with the history of surrogacy laws in England and Wales, and provides an up to date guide to how parental status for children born as a result of a surrogacy arrangement can be achieved.

This book explores the key legal concepts in family law of legal parentage and parental responsibility and how that relates to children born via surrogacy, and then examines the criteria required for a parental order to be granted as well as the application process from start to finish. The book also provides an analysis of circumstances where the criteria for a parental order is not met and the legal options that are available to secure some form of parental status between the child and their parent(s).
