Surrogacy is allowed even in the case of international parents, i.e., non-U.S. citizens.

Parentage is granted with a Pre-birth Parentage Order that becomes valid at the birth of the child, according to California Family Code Section 7633

Both intended parents, even in the absence of genetic material, are declared the legal parents of the child and are granted birth certificates bearing their names

In caso di coppie omogenitoriali, si applicherà la stessa disciplina.

Gestational Surrogacy is regulated by statute (Ch.742.15 FL Stat.).

The different phases leading to parentage vary depending on whether the intended parents are a married couple (same-sex or heterosexual), single, or are genetically related to the child.

Unlike other states, under certain conditions both pre-birth and post-birth parentage orders can be requested from the intended parents.

Florida also allows traditional surrogacy, where gestation is carried out by the surrogate mother who shares a genetic connection with the child.
