Surrogacy Contracts: Alignment vs. Agreement (Testing & Termination)


Listen Later

In this episode, we make legalese usable. You’ll get the operating rules to protect your surrogacy/donor journey when things get messy, so decisions are fast, fair, and aligned.

What you’ll learn fast:

  • Alignment vs Agreement: principles first, everything else second, so contracts don’t crumble under stress.
  • The Two Buckets: value essentials vs detail clauses, and why mixing them derails deals.
  • Contract Decoder: translate dense terms into “if X, then we do Y” rules your team can follow.
  • Scripts for agencies/clinics: “We’re aligned on X and Y; here’s how we’ll handle Z.”
  • Red flags + escalation: exactly when to pause matching and how to restart clean.
