U.S. surrogacy contracts with people from certain foreign countries would be banned
This bill would stop people from certain foreign countries, identified by the government as 'foreign entities of concern,' from entering into surrogacy agreements in the United States. It aims to prevent exploitation and address national security concerns. Surrogacy brokers who help arrange these banned agreements would face criminal penalties.
Today, people from certain foreign countries identified by the government can enter commercial surrogacy agreements in the U.S., potentially gaining U.S. citizenship for children and sending them abroad. After this bill, surrogacy agreements between U.S. surrogate parents and prospective parents from these foreign countries would be void and unenforceable. Surrogacy brokers who facilitate these agreements would face criminal charges.
