Surrogacy in Oregon

Is Surrogacy Legal in Oregon?

Yes. Oregon is considered a surrogacy-friendly state. Although there is no specific statute governing gestational surrogacy, there are no laws prohibiting it, and Oregon courts have a long history of recognizing and supporting gestational surrogacy arrangements.

Pre-birth parentage judgments are available. Oregon courts routinely issue pre-birth parentage judgments that establish the intended parents’ legal rights before the baby is born. In most cases, these judgments are obtained without requiring anyone to appear in court.

Most family structures are recognized. Oregon courts commonly recognize married and unmarried couples, LGBTQ+ families, and single parents pursuing surrogacy. Parentage is routinely established when at least one intended parent has a genetic connection to the child. In cases involving donated embryos or no genetic relationship, parentage is often still granted, although procedures may vary depending on the court handling the case.

A knowledgeable attorney makes all the difference. Because procedures and outcomes can vary slightly between counties—particularly in cases involving donor embryos or no genetic connection—it is important to work with an experienced Oregon assisted reproduction attorney who understands local court practices.

Comprehensive legal agreements are essential. Every Oregon surrogacy journey should include a carefully drafted gestational carrier agreement, with independent legal counsel representing both the surrogate and the intended parents. Accel Conceptions partners with experienced Oregon reproductive attorneys to ensure every journey is legally protected from start to finish.

“As a spouse of a surrogate, I can say that Accel Conceptions went above and beyond to take of my spouse throughout the entire process of being a surrogate. Monica is the best in the business! Not only do you get the monetary benefits of being a surrogate, but you also gain a community of ladies that are supportive throughout and after the process.”

Nik H.
“It’s the most amazing experience watching loving and caring families grow and knowing that I helped them do so. My family and I have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and experiencing different cultures and ways of living. My second Intended Parents were from China, we had no problem in communication at all. Although they speak some English, we had a Chinese speaking case manager at Accel Conceptions to coordinate. My family have been invited to visit them for the baby’s first birthday.”

Monica cares so much about you and your experience and are so sweet and understanding. They have been with me every step of the way through my journey, and I can absolutely call or email her anytime for anything and she is super quick to respond! If I do another surrogacy journey it will definitely be with Accel Conceptions!”

It’s a roller coaster but try to soak in each moment of the ride. And trust me, you’ve joined the BEST agency, I felt so loved and cared for this entire journey. I seriously can not thank you Monica and team enough.”
