Comprehensive statutory framework

Surrogacy laws in Colorado

Colorado's Surrogacy Agreement Act provides a detailed statutory framework for gestational-surrogacy agreements and parentage.

Classification note: Green means Colorado has a comprehensive statute; it does not mean every arrangement automatically meets the law.

What Colorado law addresses

Colorado law addresses gestational-surrogacy agreements, eligibility, required contract terms, legal representation, compensation and parentage procedures.

Parentage procedure

The statute provides mechanisms for determining intended parentage in qualifying arrangements. Court timing and vital-record procedures depend on the facts and should be managed by Colorado counsel.

What this means for a surrogate

Your attorney should confirm that the agreement complies with the statute and should explain compensation, insurance, medical-decision provisions and parentage procedure before you sign.
