Relevant Statutes

Virginia Assisted Conception Statute (§ 20-156 et seq.):

This statute regulates assisted conception, including egg donation and surrogacy. It requires that surrogacy agreements be approved by the court before the procedure begins.

It also provides a framework for determining parentage, focusing on the intent of the parties and court approval.

Rights of Involved Parties

  • Egg Donors:

Egg donors in Virginia are generally not considered legal parents and have no rights or responsibilities after donation.

  • Surrogates:

A surrogate’s rights and responsibilities are governed by a court-approved surrogacy agreement. Surrogates are typically not recognized as legal parents if the agreement is in place.

  • Intended Parents:

Intended parents must secure a court-approved surrogacy agreement to establish parental rights, typically through a pre-birth order.

Case Law

  • L.F. v. Breit (2013):

The Virginia Supreme Court recognized the enforceability of surrogacy agreements and the rights of intended parents as established by the agreement and court orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Does Virginia Law Regulate Surrogacy Agreements?

Virginia requires surrogacy agreements to be approved by the court before any procedures begin. The agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.

  • What Should Be Included In A Surrogacy Agreement To Avoid Disputes?

A surrogacy agreement should include clear provisions for parental rights, responsibilities, and the intent of the parties. It should be drafted with legal counsel and receive court approval.

  • What Happens If A Surrogate Refuses To Relinquish The Child?

If a surrogate refuses to relinquish the child, the courts will evaluate the intent of the parties as outlined in the surrogacy agreement, the best interests of the child, and the enforceability of the agreement.
