Each hospital has their own surrogacy policies rules and regulations with regard to labor and delivery. Most hospitals consider a birth mother the mother of the child until they receive a court other stating otherwise. Further, the birth mother will be asked to make all decision relating to the child unless the birth mother has signed a health care power of attorney allowing the intended parents to make such decisions.
I will assure these documents are in place so that the intended parents can enjoy the child and make their decisions from birth.
