Michigan Bill Poised To Bring State Out Of Dark Ages On Surrogacy And Family Protection

Michigan’s laws that criminalize surrogacy and disregard families through assisted reproduction may soon change.

Excerpt: “Every year, I write about how Michigan’s surrogacy and parentage laws are out of step with the rest of the country, as well as the advocacy efforts for change. Here’s last year’s column. And 2021‘s. And the one from 2020. But this year may be the end of a long run. This legislative session may finally be the year that Michigan’s legislature recognizes that their outdated laws are causing tangible harm to children and families and does something about it.”
