Seeking independent legal advice
International surrogacy is a complex area. The process to bring your child or children to the UK after birth can be long and complicated. If you are considering surrogacy in a foreign country you are strongly advised to seek specialist independent legal advice both in the UK and in the other country before making any arrangements.
