Do you have to have a contract for surrogacy?

I understand that the contract is VERY good to have. However, if my adopt sister wants to be a traditional surrogate for us, is there any other way to our name on the birth certificate as the child's parents to avoid adopting my own child? I am in Arkansas.
You call for to speak with an attorney in your state. On line proposal is worth about what you pay for it. Each state has adjectives standards for this sort of thing. See an attorney practiceing family law preferably contained by a smaller community where "rates" are a bit cheaper.
It really really depends on the laws in your state. I know some populace have goen to other states to give birth because the laws near were much more friendly to people who chose surrogacy. And off the cuff, I woudl be liable to bet that Arkansas would be a difficult one.

I would research it on-line...check to see if you can find some surrogacy support groups and go from there. They are often a okay of advice and can offer lots of suggestions to go something like it.
