How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Surrogacy Contract in Pennsylvania

In 2024, a personal client in Pennsylvania sought assistance with drafting a contract to formalize an arrangement with a surrogate. The client aimed to establish a legally binding agreement that would ensure protection for both parties involved, particularly concerning financial arrangements and the relinquishment of parental rights. The client specified the payment structure, indicating that half of the compensation would be provided upon confirmation of pregnancy and the remainder once the rights were formally terminated. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $750 to $850, all submitted to meet the client's urgent deadline of less than one week.
