KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Parental Order
A parental order is a court order made under the Human Fertilization and Embryology Act 2008 in relation to children born through surrogacy arrangements.
The order transfers legal parenthood from the surrogate mother to the commissioning parent or parents.
Once granted, it permanently removes the surrogate mother’s legal status as the child’s parent.
Certain conditions must be met, including the consent of the surrogate mother and, where relevant, her spouse or civil partner.
The order operates similarly to adoption by establishing the applicants as the child’s legal parents.
