India Surrogacy/Gestational Carrier Laws Tightening Up
The formerly lenient surrogacy laws in India have recently become a lot stricter with India’s parliament changing surrogacy laws in order to protect surrogate mothers in India from being taken advantage of. They have additionally made it mandatory for Intended Parents and prospective surrogates to have surrogacy contracts and to have all of the insurance together prior to the surrogate becoming pregnant.
They are hoping that this will decrease the number of women being taken advantage of when foreigners come to India to get an Indian surrogate. This is going to also make it safer for intended parents who want to travel to India to get a surrogate because these laws will not only make the entire process safer for surrogates, but also for intended parents.
