NCLR is a member of the Advisory Committee for Surrogacy360, which seeks to provide acurate information for intended parents seeking to use surrogacy internationally in an ethical manner. NCLR does not generally recommend that U.S. parents engage in surrogacy arrangements outside of the United States because of the danger that children born through surrogacy may not be recognized as U.S. citizens and encourages parents to consult with experienced surrogacy and immigration attorneys in the U.S. before considering surrogacy abroad.

As a part of this Committee, in partnership with the Center for Genetics and Society, we have created a map of surrogacy laws across the U.S., including whether and how intended parents can access surrogacy as well as the protections provided for the rights of people acting as surrogates.
