Surrogacy Birth Preparation Kit

Surrogacy Birth Preparation Kit

Preparing for a surrogacy birth involves more than just the medical side of pregnancy. Intended parents and surrogates often need clear plans, practical guidance, and an understanding of the legal and administrative steps that follow the birth.

The Surrogacy Birth Preparation Kit is a practical digital resource designed to help everyone involved feel organised, informed, and confident as the birth approaches.

This downloadable kit includes:

• Birth Plan Template – tailored specifically for surrogacy arrangements to help clarify expectations with the hospital and care team.

• Parenting Plan Template – a clear framework for discussing care of the baby immediately after birth and the transition to intended parents.

• Hospital Signs to display on the doors of the hospital rooms after the birth.

• Surrogacy Pregnancy & Birth Care Guide – practical guidance on planning for labour, hospital arrangements, and supporting everyone involved.

• Best Practice Guidelines for Care in Surrogacy – with information for hospital and health practitioners and to assist in developing hospital surrogacy policy.

• Essential Fact Sheets – plain-English information about Medicare, Centrelink, parental leave, and birth registration in surrogacy situations.

• A Letter to services including Medicare and Centrelink, to assist the intended parents to have the baby placed on their Medicare card and for the parties to access Centrelink benefits.

• A Statutory Declaration for interim evidence that the surrogate has relinquished the baby – useful for Centrelink and Medicare.

Designed by Sarah Jefford, a surrogacy lawyer with extensive experience supporting surrogates and intended parents, this kit helps you navigate the practical realities of a surrogacy birth with clarity and confidence.

Perfect for surrogates, intended parents, and professionals supporting surrogacy journeys, the kit provides structured tools and trusted information to help everyone prepare for one of the most important moments of the surrogacy journey.
