Surrogacy in Kansas

Is Surrogacy Legal in Kansas?

Yes. Gestational surrogacy is permitted in Kansas because there are no state laws prohibiting it. Although Kansas does not have a specific surrogacy statute, courts have a long history of recognizing gestational surrogacy arrangements and granting pre-birth parentage orders.

Pre-birth parentage orders are available. Kansas courts regularly issue pre-birth parentage orders, allowing intended parents to establish legal parentage before the baby is born. Court procedures can vary by county, and a hearing is typically required, although the parties are generally not required to attend.

Kansas supports many family-building journeys. Married couples, unmarried couples, LGBTQ+ families, single parents, and families using donor eggs, donor sperm, or donor embryos may pursue surrogacy in Kansas. Depending on the family’s circumstances, additional legal steps, such as a confirmatory or second-parent adoption, may be recommended.

Experienced legal guidance is essential. Every Kansas surrogacy journey should include a carefully drafted gestational carrier agreement and independent legal counsel for both the surrogate and intended parents. Accel Conceptions partners with experienced Kansas assisted reproduction attorneys to help ensure every journey is legally protected from beginning to end.

“My husband and I got in touch with Accel Conceptions years ago and were immediately impressed by our case manager’s professionalism and dedication. She not only walked us through every detail of the Egg Donation and Surrogacy process, but also informed us the potential challenges we might have along the way. By the end of our first conversation, we knew this was the agency we were looking for. It only took us only three weeks to be matched with our Surrogate, Marie. We transferred one embryo to our Surrogate and were blessed to get pregnant on the first try. We are very grateful to have found Accel Conceptions and to work with all the wonderful professionals.”
