Colorado surrogacy

[TexasIFs]

Are contracts between a same-sex couple and a gestational surrogate in Colorado enforceable? Can we both get on the pre-birth order? Thanks.

In Colorado, surrogacy is established by case law not statute. When my firm finds Colorado GC's, we associate local co-counsel because none of us are Colorado attorneys. So far, the IP's we have matched to Colorado GC's have been traditional couples, so we have not asked about same-sex couples in CO. The website I always check first for state laws for our same-sex couples is www.hrc.org, but they are silent about CO. Sorry I cannot help you on this one, Diane

As a former GS for a same-sex couple I can tell you that Yes, two men can gain a PBO in Colorado get both be on the Birth Certificate. It is done through only one County Court and that is the Boulder County Courthouse.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks, Kyrstin. That's what I love about these Boards! And I am very happy to hear that it is a possibility at least somewhere in Colorado
