Surrogacy Laws in Michigan

Gestational surrogacy is legally recognized in the state of Michigan.

Michigan surrogacy laws are amongst some of the best in the United States since the passing of The Assisted Reproductive and Surrogacy Parentage Act which took effect in 2025.

Michigan’s new law has paved the pathway to parenthood, and with the right guidance, you can move forward with confidence and care. Under this statute the Intended Parents are recognized as the legal parents, and the State Registrar is required to issue an amended birth certificate in compliance with the parental judgment.
