Surrogate Agreements
The Necessity of Surrogate Agreements
Surrogacy is a marvellous stepping-stone within the fertility world. Couples who were once thought never to be able to have children of their own can now too take pleasure in the joys of parenthood. However, before you begin with such a procedure there are a few matters that needs to be dealt with efficiently, beginning with surrogate agreements. Even if you know the surrogate mother as an intimate acquaintance it will be an absolute necessity that a written contract be drawn up by a medical attorney such as Adele van der Walt Attorneys Inc. to ensure that all the legal aspects of this arrangement are covered.
The role of surrogate agreements are to regulate the terms and conditions of the arrangement, i.e. the duties, rights and obligations of all parties involved. Apart from the commissioning parents and soon-to-be surrogate mother it will also be required that the husband or partner of the surrogate mother give his or her written consent in order for the agreement to be legitimate. When all the parties involved have gone through and comprehend the requirements and process of the surrogacy should the contract be signed and then presented to the High Court of South Africa. If and only when the court has confirmed the agreement can the surrogacy process continue.
