Letters To The Editor

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is David S. from Scotland and I am enquiring about an aspect of Californian law on surrogacy on behalf of a friend.

My friend has undergone 6 unsuccessful IVF treatments here in Scotland and is desperate to bear a child. Thankfully her sister offered to act as a surrogate mother by means of having her fertilized eggs surgically implanted. However, her sister lives in California and from what I have heard Californian law prohibits its citizens from being surrogate mothers to overseas donors - is this true? If so, is there any way around it e.g. how long would it take for my friend to be considered "domiciled" if she moved over there? If you cannot help I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

Thank for your help in advance. Kind regards,
David S.

The issue is not a legal one as it is perfectly fine to do a surrogacy with her sister using her own eggs in California...Please go the the OpEd page for more
