Existing law does not authorize, prohibit, or regulate surrogacy. This bill would require that, if a child is born to a surrogate in this state, the probate court in that county shall confirm the identity of the intended parent or parents and ensure that the child is relinquished directly to an intended parent. This bill would require intended parents to provide a certified copy of the identification order to the hospital, birthing center, or other facility where the child is born, and would prohibit a child born via surrogacy from being relinquished to the custody of any individual who is not an intended parent identified by the probate court. This bill would provide that, if an intended parent does not physically appear in this state to retrieve the child, the State Department of Human Resources shall temporarily assume custody of the child until such time that an intended parent provides a certified copy of the identification order and physically retrieves the child. This bill would allow the department to adopt rules. This bill would also require each hospital, birthing center, or other facility that offers labor and delivery services to adopt a policy to ensure compliance with this bill.
