Countries that have specific surrogacy legislation
These countries have specific legislation for surrogacy, which develops the right of the commissioning parent(s) (you) to carry out a surrogacy procedure.
These laws transfer the rights over the child from the surrogate parents to the commissioning parents. These countries have laws drafted by their parliaments, or subsequently modified by rulings of high courts, such as the Constitutional Court, allowing certain people to carry out surrogacy processes.
