Surrogacy Laws in Mississippi

Gestational surrogacy is legal in the state of Mississippi.

Mississippi does not have a specific statute that formally outlines surrogacy, but gestational surrogacy is permitted in practice and typically managed through contract law and parentage proceedings. This means women residing in Mississippi can become surrogates, and intended parents living in the state can pursue surrogacy as a path to building their family. Mississippi supports a range of assisted reproductive arrangements, including gestational surrogacy, egg donation, sperm donation, and embryo donation. With experienced legal guidance, the state can be a workable and supportive option for families growing through third-party reproduction.

Inclusivity

Single intended parents and LGBTQ+ families can pursue surrogacy in Mississippi, although the legal approach may depend on the facts of the case and the court involved. Having the right legal team in place can help make the process smoother and more secure for every family.

Requirements

Because Mississippi does not have a detailed surrogacy statute, it is especially important for intended parents and surrogates to work with independent legal counsel and have a clear written agreement in place before moving forward. At Hatch, we’re here to walk you through every step and connect you with experienced reproductive and family law attorneys who help protect everyone involved.
