🌟 Historic Change in Michigan: Surrogacy Now Legal and Protected! 🌟
As of April 1, 2025, Michigan has officially joined the majority of states in recognizing and regulating surrogacy. Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed the Michigan Family Protection Act into law, ending a 35-year ban that made Michigan the only state to criminalize paid surrogacy contracts. This landmark legislation provides legal clarity and protections for surrogates, intended parents, and children born through assisted reproduction .
The new law allows intended parents to be automatically recognized as legal parents, eliminating the need for post-birth adoption procedures. It also establishes safeguards to prevent exploitation and ensures that surrogates receive appropriate support and compensation .
This change brings hope and opportunity to many families across Michigan, offering a clearer and more supportive path to parenthood.
