Watching coronation street...
Legally if you are carrying a baby for someone else and but sperm and eggs are the peoples your carrying for.... have you the legal right to keep the baby if you change your mind? |

No i don't think you have as its their genes and you had agreed to carry it...An old neighbour did this for her best friend 3 times and im sure there were lots of legal stuff in place and it wasn't actually classed as her baby |

When the baby is born - the surrogate mother (and her SO) have to relinquish birth rights (the birth is registered in their name). The donor parents can then have a birth certificate registered in their name.
I guess the answer is, yes. But it is ill-advised. |

Googled it :
'The woman who gives birth is always treated as the legal mother and has the right to keep the child even if they are not genetically related. Surrogacy contracts arent enforced by UK law even if a contract has been signed with the intended parents and theyve paid for any expenses. Its illegal to pay for a surrogate in the UK except for their reasonable expenses. ' |
