After consuming a higher than average amount of reality television this weekend, I saw examples of surrogacy and got to thinking about the laws in place to protect surrogates and parents. This week's legal brief looks at the laws specifically in California surrounding surrogacy and what all parties involved should consider before pursuing that role or avenue. I am not barred in California but was drawn to discuss surrogacy because recent examples of surrogacy I have seen on TV have occurred in California. Information from this episode was pulled from various websites summarizing California law.
