Let’s talk about surrogacy in Ontario


If you’re pursuing surrogacy in Ontario, here are the steps to make sure everything goes smoothly:

  1. Create a Surrogacy Agreement: Before any medical procedures begin, you need a legal agreement in place. Plaid helps draft this to protect everyone’s rights.

  2. Establish Parental Rights After Birth: After your baby is born, you’ll need to apply for a Declaration of Parentage to be legally recognized as the child’s parents.

  3. Submit the Required Documents: You’ll need to provide documents like the surrogacy agreement and birth certificate. Don’t worry—we’re here to help you with all of this!

Plaid is by your side for each step, making sure everything is legally sound so you can focus on the joy of growing your family!
