SURROGACY
Through
the miracles of modern science and emerging trends
in Florida laws, surrogacy provides infertile
couples the option of raising their own biological
children. The surrogacy relationship is a legal and
biological one formed when a volunteer mother
("carrier") agrees to carry a child for a married
("commissioning") couple. Florida is one of a small
number of states that maintains specific statutory
provisions for Gestational and Traditional
Surrogacy.
Hausmann & Hickman, P.A. carefully screens all
potential surrogates and families.
The attorneys personally interview and consult with
all parties to the surrogacy agreement, gather
historical medical data and commission psychological
evaluations in an effort to obtain a successful
match.
Commissioning couples enjoy the option of selecting
their surrogate from a list of existing applicants
or may individually seek out their surrogate. All
surrogates receive compensation for living and
travel, lost wages, disability/life insurance
coverage, and other related expenses which are
allocated within the Surrogacy Agreement. Uncovered
medical expenses are paid by the commissioning
couple and counseling is encouraged for all parties
