These labels summarize the clarity and accessibility of each state's current legal framework; they are not a substitute for advice about a specific journey.

Supportive frameworkState law provides a comparatively clear path for gestational-surrogacy agreements and parentage when its requirements are followed.
Important conditionsA path exists, but eligibility, agreement, genetic, residency, approval, or parentage requirements can materially limit who may use it.
Significant restrictionsState law makes some surrogacy agreements void, prohibited, or available only through a narrow pathway that requires specialized review.
Individual legal reviewThe state has no comprehensive gestational-surrogacy statute, so contracts and parentage procedures depend more heavily on current case law and local court practice.

This directory organizes local planning information. A listed location does not by itself establish medical eligibility, program acceptance, or legal approval.
