I would like to become a surrogate and I was wondering if anyone knows if South Dakota allows surrogacy. I've looked everywhere and cant seem to find an answer to this question.

Many states have laws on the books regarding surrogacy. Some specifically make it legal, some specifically make it illegal (only a few of those) and some make it legal for traditional couples but illegal for gays and lesbians (like Florida and Texas, for example). But most states just don't have anything at all to say about surrogacy.
To my knowledge, South Dakota is one of those states that doesn't have much to say about surrogacy. That makes it an easy state to deliver in.
You'll want to contact a surrogacy attorney in South Dakota to check up on the laws and verify this information. Things change constantly, and I can't keep up with legalese in states other than my own. To find a surrogacy attorney, you may want to call a local adoption attorney and ask for recommendations. (Note: get an attorney who actually has surrogacy experience, not just adoption experience.)
I saw your comment about finding a surrogate in SD. Congratulations! I am trying to find a company to sign up with. Can you tell me which company your surrogate is working with? The Internet hasn't been too helpful for me!

IP interested in a SD surrogate by: Anonymous
My husband and I have found a great surrogate in SD. I am an attorney and I am concerned that SD does not have any laws regariding surrogacy on the books. Has any one tried it recently?

GS Surrogate in SD by: Anonymous
So all I need to do is talk to a surrogate attorney? That was what I needed to know. I am wanting to be a surrogate mother so bad after having my son and realizing some couple and single parents can't have children. I want to give someone the precious gift of a child. My son is amazing. I hope to help someone soon :)

SD Surrogacy by: Hope
I have been doing a lot of online research on becoming a surrogate in SD, but most agencies seem to be SD surrogate unfriendy. It may be because there are no set surrogacy laws in SD and that scares them.?
