My husband & I are thinking about having my friend being a surrogate to my child.But the baby will not have my DNA it will have my husband's.We dont want to pay alot of money so I was wondering how I could go about this legally so that the baby would be mine?
Reply by Rayven If your friend has had at least one child of her own, she may be eligible to become a Traditional Surrogate Mother. You would need to utilize a clinic, where your husband would deposit sperm in a cup. The sperm would then be Artificially Inseminated into your surrogate.
When the baby was born, you would need to do a step-parent adoption to terminate her rights and instate yours.
You will need to contact a surrogacy attorney in your state. The fees should not be nearly as large as a gestational surrogacy, and could be quite manageable depending on what sort of compensation your friend wants.
