Illinois Surrogacy Law
Illinois law allows gestational surrogacy agreements (where the surrogate mother is not the biological contributor of the egg), but does not address traditional surrogacy agreements (in which the surrogate mother is the biological contributor of the egg). The issue of surrogacy agreements involving lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) individuals has not yet been considered by the courts.
