#SettingTheStandard
In Support of the Surrogacy Law Reform 2023 – A New Era for Surrogacy in the UK, My Surrogacy Journey (MSJ) proudly stand in full support of the proposed Surrogacy Law Reform 2023. This long-awaited reform represents a progressive, ethical, and compassionate framework that aligns directly with our mission to provide inclusive, empowering, and secure pathways to parenthood through surrogacy.
We believe that family-building should be safe, dignified, and legally protected for all involved: intended parents (IPs), surrogates, and children. The current legal system is outdated and unnecessarily complex. The Surrogacy Law Reform offers a modern, fit-for-purpose legal structure that reflects the lived experiences and needs of today’s families.
MSJ are committed to improving outcomes and experiences for everyone involved in the surrogacy journey. The new law provides legal clarity, early parenthood recognition, and stronger protections for surrogates and IPs—values that have long guided our service and ethical framework.
The proposed law acknowledges surrogates as empowered individuals who enter into agreements with full understanding and informed consent. Surrogates remain in control of their bodies and choices throughout, while also gaining stronger legal protection and recognition. We believe this reflects the commitments within our ethical framework to autonomy, nonmaleficence, and justice.
The current post-birth legal process often causes anxiety and disruption for IPs. The reform’s recommendation for pre-birth parenthood orders, when all criteria are met, means that IPs can be recognised as legal parents from birth—providing certainty, stability, and emotional security for everyone, especially the child.
This reform is rooted in the best interests of the child, ensuring that the child is born into a legally recognised, stable family environment. This principle mirrors our unwavering commitment to the long-term welfare and security of the children born through surrogacy.
Modern families are diverse. Whether heterosexual, LGBTQ+, or single parents, people are increasingly building families through surrogacy. The proposed law embraces this inclusivity, ensuring all families have equitable access to legal recognition and support.
We urge lawmakers, professionals, and the wider public to support the implementation of the Surrogacy Law Reform 2023. This is not just a legal update—it is a recognition of the humanity, complexity, and love at the heart of every surrogacy journey.
The reform honours the emotional labour of surrogates, provides clarity and reassurance to intended parents, and protects the lifelong interests of the children born through surrogacy. It reflects what we already know through lived experience: that ethical surrogacy works best when it’s based on trust, transparency, and timely legal support.

At My Surrogacy Journey, we will continue to advocate for ethical and safe surrogacy in line with this reform. We will work collaboratively with legal experts, clinicians, surrogates, IPs, and government bodies to ensure that this new law becomes a reality—not just a recommendation. We are committed to Setting the Standard in global surrogacy and believe that the Surrogacy Reform proposed in 2023 will do this in the UK.
