SURROGACY CONTRACT DOES NOT DEPRIVE MOTHER OF HER PARENTAL RIGHTS.

In a proceeding related to Matter of Frank G… summarized above, the Second Department noted that the surrogacy contract did not deprive the mother of the child (Renee P.-F.) of her parental rights:

Renee P.-F.’s parental rights were not terminated by virtue of her entering into a surrogacy contract. Surrogate parenting contracts have been declared contrary to the public policy, and are void and unenforceable (see Domestic Relations Law § 122). Moreover, Domestic Relations Law § 124(1) expressly states that “the court shall not consider the birth mother’s participation in a surrogate parenting contract as adverse to her parental rights, status, or obligations.” Matter of Giavonna F. P.-G. (Frank G.–Renee P.-F.), 2016 NY Slip Op 05948, 2nd Dept 9-8-16
