Im confused! can someone tell me if im understanding this wrong lol
ok so im looking into being a surrogate and I was looking into the laws for my state (FL) no does this mean me as a surrogate mother have to be married or the parents im giving the baby to have to be married?
"Florida gestational surrogacy statutes impose strict requirements on the contracts, among them limiting involvement to “couple[s that] are legally married and are both 18 years of age or older.”
In the 2000 case of Lowe v. Broward County, a Florida District Court of Appeals noted that the right to enter into surrogate-parenting agreements is reserved for married couples only and is one of the many rights that domestic partners are denied. "
thank you!

This means that the parents recieving the baby have to be married. For example, it says "domestic partners are denied" that means people who aren't married like maybe a gay coulple. It says one of the many rights they are denied, so I'm assuming that is what it is talking about.Found an answer to your question?

I am understanding it to be the couple getting the baby must be married. I don't think it matters at all whether you are married, you will not be the one to wind up with a baby in the end. If I were toying with this idea, I would make sure I had a good lawyer before signing anything!Found an answer to your question?
