Whether I match you with your gestational carrier/surrogate, or you already have that wonderful woman to work with, I will draft a legal agreement that details the parties' rights, obligations, intentions and expectations.  The agreement will be a road map of everything that the process and parties will go through.  It will specifically address parental rights, custody, location of delivery, future contact between the parties, and health insurance.  In addition, the agreement will cover who makes medical decisions and how those decisions will be made during a pregnancy, payment of medical bills, liability for medical complications, financial considerations such as the gestational carrier/surrogate's compensation and expenses including lost wages, legal fees, child care, housekeeping, and maternity clothes, coverage for life insurance, the need to provide medical history and personal medical information, continued contact through the process, and intended parents' presence during doctor visits and the delivery.  Remember that the agreement is yours, so will be drafted in a way that you will clearly understand all obligations and considerations, and in a way that you are comfortable.
