New York Legalizes Surrogacy: Fertility Expert Dr. James Grifo Weighs In!

There’s much to celebrate in New York! After years of fighting to end the ban of compensated surrogacy and legal reform for the surrogacy process, the new law, effective February 15, 2021, makes dreams of a family a reality for New Yorkers! Not only is this great news for intended parents in New York, it’s also monumental for women who want to be gestational carriers to help these families. They can now become surrogates with some of the strongest protections available in the United States. Pioneering New York fertility expert Dr. James Grifo, director of NYU Langone Fertility Center shares his perspective on what the law means for New York parents and surrogates, why the law needed to change, and why he loves practicing in NYC.
