Surrogacy Laws in Montana

Gestational surrogacy is legal and permitted in the state of Montana because no statute prohibits this.

Rather than relying on one stand-alone surrogacy statute, Montana typically handles surrogacy through established parentage and family law procedures. This means women living in Montana can become surrogates, and intended parents in the state can legally pursue surrogacy as a path to growing their family. Montana is generally supportive of assisted reproduction, including gestational surrogacy as well as egg donation, sperm donation, and embryo donation. That broad recognition makes Montana a reassuring and practical option for those exploring third-party reproduction.

Inclusivity

Montana’s approach is also inclusive, allowing single intended parents and LGBTQ+ families to pursue surrogacy. For many hopeful parents, that makes the state a welcoming and trusted place to build a family.

Requirements

A carefully drafted written surrogacy agreement, separate legal counsel for each party, and a parentage order are all important parts of a well-protected surrogacy journey in Montana. At Hatch, we’re here to walk you through every step and can connect you with experienced reproductive attorneys to help ensure a smooth and secure process.
