Surrogacy Laws in Iowa

Surrogacy is permitted in Iowa and the laws that regulate surrogacy allow for surrogates and intended parents to have a safe route for surrogacy.

Here’s what you should know when it comes to establishing parentage in Iowa:

  • Heterosexual couples that use their own eggs and sperm: Only the intended father can be granted a pre-birth order, and the intended mother must obtain a post-birth parentage order and order an amended birth certificate.
  • Heterosexual couples that use a sperm or egg donor: If the intended father is the genetic parent, he can obtain a pre-birth order. If the intended mother is the genetic parent, she can obtain a post-birth order. The non-genetic parent must complete a stepparent adoption.
  • The biological parent can obtain a pre-birth order and the non-genetic parent must complete a stepparent adoption.
