Surrogacy in Oregon

Like most states, Oregon has very few laws regarding surrogacy. However, Oregon courts have been establishing parental rights for parents of children born through surrogacy for over 30 years. Surrogacy in Oregon provides a supportive legal framework for intended parents, making it a preferred choice for many. Our team at Northwest Surrogacy Center is dedicated to helping you deal with the legal setting.

When same-sex couples choose surrogacy in Oregon, there are a few different paths to parenthood. Some use one partner’s egg or sperm combined with a donor’s, while others choose to use donor genetic material entirely—whatever feels right for building their family. No matter the path, we work closely with our LGBTQ+ intended parents to make sure both are recognized as the legal parents on their baby’s birth certificate.
At NW Surrogacy Center, we’re committed to ethical, family-first surrogacy. That’s why we only work with surrogates in states where the law ensures intended parents, especially gay couples, are fully protected. This means both partners have equal rights and shared custody from the very beginning.
