Comprehensive statutory framework

Surrogacy laws in Connecticut

Connecticut's parentage law contains a detailed framework for gestational-surrogacy agreements and parentage.

Classification note: Green reflects a comprehensive statutory framework, not a guarantee that every agreement or situation qualifies.

What Connecticut law addresses

Connecticut law addresses gestational-surrogacy agreements, required terms, legal representation and parentage procedures. Compensation may be included within a compliant agreement.

Parentage procedure

The statutory framework provides a route for determining intended parentage in qualifying cases. Counsel should confirm the proper filing, timing and vital-record steps for the particular arrangement.

What this means for a surrogate

Rather than relying on a “surrogacy-friendly” label, confirm that your agreement satisfies Connecticut law. Your own attorney should explain compensation, insurance, medical autonomy and parentage terms before execution.
