1. A surrogate who is in another country. In most cases this is a hard to stop. 2. A surrogate who has been rejected by agencies. Agencies are knowledgeable about what is required for a surrogate to pass medical screening. If a surrogate applied with agencies and has been rejected, it is likely they will be rejected by your clinic. 3. When it sounds too good to be true. Surrogates are in high demand and there’s enough information about compensation for a surrogate to know the market rate. While surrogates give discounts to family members and friends, beware of the unknown candidate who offers to do it for free or well below market.

In California, surrogates would typically lose in court if they attempt to win and keep the baby. This outcome is based on the 1993 California Supreme Court case, Johnson v. Calvert, which dictates that courts should uphold the intent of the parties at the time they signed the surrogacy agreement. If a surrogate is determined to keep the baby and a judgment of parentage is in place, the hospital is likely to recognize the intended parents as legal parents, resulting in the child being taken away. In most cases, this judgment is obtained well before the surrogate's birth, and if the surrogate changes her mind afterward, the judgment specifies that the intended parents should take immediate custody of the child.

In the event the intended parents divorce or separate and the surrogate is pregnant, the Gestational Surrogacy Agreement will continue as planned. Most agreements will say the custody rights to the child will be resolved by the agreement of intended parents or by a court of competent jurisdiction. The gestational carrier and/or her spouse will not have any parental rights or claim to the child if a separation or divorce occurs between the intended parents.

California law requires that if there is an agent or agency assisting with the match, an escrow account or trust account is required. New York also requires an escrow account if the surrogate is compensated. Other states may also require escrow. In California, the trust account may not be held by the agent or agency, but by a bonded and licensed escrow company or an attorney. It is a good idea to have an escrow account when the surrogate is compensated. Disputes over nonpayment are one of the biggest reasons the parties go to court.
