Understanding Wyoming Surrogacy Laws
While Wyoming allows surrogacy, it's essential to be aware of the legal requirements and restrictions in place. Intended parents and surrogates must adhere to specific guidelines, including the necessity of a surrogacy contract. Wyoming surrogacy law requires that this contract outline the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved, including financial arrangements, medical decisions, and more.

Surrogacy Contracts
Surrogacy agreements in Wyoming are legal, but only if both intended parents have been residents of Wyoming for at least a year before finalizing their surrogacy agreement. Compensation for the surrogate is limited to prenatal expenses, the birth of the child, lost wages and any other pregnancy related expenses.
Surrogacy contracts, also known as gestational surrogacy agreements, are essential legal documents that outline the terms and conditions of a surrogacy arrangement. These contracts serve to protect the interests of all parties, provide clarity, and help prevent potential disputes during the surrogacy journey.
Establishing Parentage
Under Wyoming surrogacy law, courts do not issue pre-birth parentage orders. A proceeding to determine parentage may be started before the child is born, a post birth order will need to be issued after the child’s birth.
In Wyoming, a post-birth order is a crucial legal document that finalizes the parental rights of intended parents in a surrogacy arrangement after the birth of the child. This document is issued by the court and typically acknowledges the intended parents as the legal parents of the child born through surrogacy, to ensure that the intended parents have full legal custody and rights over the child.
