Other Things to Know About Surrogacy in Tennessee
Surrogacy Laws and Legal Professionals
In Tennessee, the legality of surrogacy is governed by a unique statute found in Tenn. Code Ann. §36-1-102(50), which falls within the definitional section of the adoption code. Surrogacy contracts are neither expressly allowed nor prohibited by this statute; rather, it simply defines surrogacy for purposes of the adoption code.
According to case law, the Gestational Carrier will be designated as the mother on the birth certificate unless both parents contribute their own egg and sperm. However, in the landmark case of In re Adoption of Male Child A.F.C., the Supreme Court of Tennessee ruled that if an egg donor is utilized, the Gestational Carrier retains her status on the birth certificate until the second parent completes an adoption proceeding.
