Classification note: Green indicates a comprehensive statute, not automatic eligibility or a guaranteed legal outcome.
What Washington law addresses
Washington law addresses gestational-surrogacy agreements, eligibility, required contract terms, legal representation and parentage procedures. Compensation may be provided within a compliant agreement.
Parentage procedure
The statute provides a route for establishing intended-parent status in qualifying arrangements. The timing and required court or vital-record steps should be confirmed by Washington counsel.
What this means for a surrogate
The relevant question is whether your agreement and circumstances satisfy Washington's statutory requirements. Your independent attorney should review compensation, insurance, medical autonomy and parentage terms before execution.
