Surrogacy is treated as a legal alternative way of adoption. Several processes like artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization are legally adopted by most of the governments. But the care must be taken as it is yet to be recognized by the government in several parts of the world.
The life of the child is always at stake in this process that’s why it is important to make it right for everyone. The public might not be well informed about the legalities i.e. Hong Kong parental rights or the medical issues of the process, so it is the responsibility of the doctors and NGOs and also the government to make all people aware of surrogacy.
In some cases, the surrogate mother doesn’t want to give away the legal rights of biological parents. The one who bears the children is supposed to be the legal mother of the baby according to the Hong Kong Parental Rights. It is said in the law that if the surrogate mother is married at the time of surrogacy then the husband will be the legal father of the baby. Until the parental rights are transferred the surrogate mother and his husband will be the legal parent according to the law.
