Sanford Benardo has an editorial in the Albany Times Union about NY’s new surrogacy legislation.

Read the article on the Times Union site

The Child-Parent Security Act has passed in New York, but the regulations for a New York surrogacy are so onerous, I suspect most New York residents will work out of state anyway. The law is applicable to situations where the carrier resides in and/or will deliver in New York State.  If intended parents live in New York and work with an out of state gestational carrier, the additional burdens and expenses involved with satisfying New York’s statutory requirements will not apply.  New York’s statutory framework in the CPSA has been promoted (by the legislators and lawyers involved in its creation, primarily) as ground-breaking.  It is not.  Many states and surrogacy programs have been protecting carriers and intended parents carefully and comprehensively for years.

Please watch this video before applying to be a surrogate (gestational carrier). If you meet the basic requirements it is easy to submit our on line application.

Pennsylvania women can serve as gestational carriers no matter where in the state they live: surrogates stay with the OB/GYN practice where they had their own children and their everyday schedule stays pretty much the same. Minimal travel is required.

With the Northeast Assisted Fertility Group, surrogates choose the intended family that is the right fit for them. They receive expert attention and the best medical care.

Put money into savings, toward college educations for the kids, or just general expenses: base cash compensation starts at $50,000 and the total compensation package will exceed $60,000.

In this week’s video I describe why the surrogacy bill did not pass last year and suggest strategies for its success in 2020.
