Surrogacy in india for single men Surrogacy in india for single men

2 years ago

I am a single male citizen of India, I am looking forward to starting my family as a single father by opting surrogacy program for single male.
I have come across various doctors and agencies, who are prepared to assist me with it, so I'm confident that it is medically feasible.

However, given Indian legislation, I'm not sure if becoming the child's legal parent is possible. Do you believe there is a provision or paperwork in place so that if the child is born through a single male surrogacy program, my name will appear on all of the child's records as a father, beginning with the birth certificate, aadhar card, and passport?

A.Until sometime back there was no law or rules to regulate the single male surrogacy to become father and hence few like Tushar Kapoor and Karan Johar have become fathers without breaking any law. But a new law is being formulated and bill has been tabled in the Parliament prohibiting this. Until the bill becomes the law you can take advantage of the same and be a father this way. For more details you can reach out to a lawyer and get proper guidance.
