Cross-Border Surrogacy: Managing U.S.–European Legal Overlap in Michigan Cases, the new Michigan Surrogacy Law
Cross-Border Surrogacy: Managing U.S.–European Legal Overlap in Michigan Cases
International intended parents must handle two separate legal frameworks: U.S. parentage law and the citizenship, descent, and registration rules of their home country. Michigan’s structured system supports this dual compliance more effectively than states with minimal oversight.
Parentage orders obtained in Michigan are detailed, explicit, and suitable for embassy and consular review. German-, Austrian-, and Swiss-based authorities frequently require original court orders, hospital birth records, notarized acknowledgements, and IVF documentation. Michigan courts and clinics routinely provide this documentation promptly, allowing international parents to secure passports and exit the United States without procedural delays.
Additionally, Michigan’s surrogacy framework allows attorneys to anticipate the requirements of European civil registries, especially when a child’s nationality must be established immediately.
The ability to plan for these cross-border steps from the beginning eliminates uncertainty and accelerates the post-birth administrative process.
