Tennessee Surrogacy Law

Tennessee law appears to give surrogacy agreements legal consequence, but the law claims neither to approve nor forbid these agreements. It seems unlikely that the law will look favorably on a surrogacy agreement involving lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) individuals because “surrogate birth” is defined by statute to occur only when the surrogate is gestating a fetus for a married couple.
