ANY law can be challanged in a court. ANY law. The issue is not whether it might be challenged, or should be challenged, or could be decided by a District Court, or an appelate Court...... the issue is, what is the current law.


Absolutely, but as of now, the NIA, does not discuss the surrogacy situation we are discussing. Ultimately it will depend on how they interpret the law. Is a child whom BOTH it's US father and US mother actually conceived the child, it's parents, or is the incubator?

Do parents that do this surrogacy inside the US, then have to "adopt" the child from the surrogate?

As I said earlier, it "may" raise an interesting question.
