Clear. Protective. Legally Sound.
Surrogacy is a deeply personal journey and a significant legal process. A well-structured surrogacy agreement ensures that everyone involved: intended parents, the surrogate, and most importantly the child is protected from the very beginning.
At Nina & Misaro Associates Advocates, we provide thoughtful, comprehensive legal support for surrogacy arrangements in Kenya, combining technical excellence with compassion and discretion.
Why a Surrogacy Agreement Is Essential
Kenya’s surrogacy landscape continues to develop. In this environment, a properly drafted agreement is the primary legal safeguard for all parties.
A clear and enforceable contract helps to:
- Confirm the intentions of the intended parents and the surrogate
- Secure the intended parents’ parental rights
- Provide a structured financial framework
- Guide medical decision-making
- Protect confidential information
- Prevent future disputes
Without this legal foundation, families may face uncertainty at critical moments including at birth and during the process of obtaining travel and citizenship documents.
Our Surrogacy Legal Services
We offer end-to-end legal support, tailored to your specific circumstances.
Surrogacy Agreement Drafting
Each agreement we prepare is bespoke. It will typically address:
- Parental rights and responsibilities
- The surrogate’s role and protections
- Financial arrangements and timelines
- Medical consent and decision-making
- Confidentiality and data protection
- Dispute resolution mechanisms
Our goal is to create a balanced, ethical, and legally sound framework that gives all parties clarity and peace of mind.
