DES MOINES, IOWA — Surrogate rights in Iowa have fallen under the microscope.
“Genetically, it is not her child, it is a child with genes of other people she agreed to carry,” said Iowa Supreme Court Justice Thomas Waterman.
In January of 2016, Paul and Chantele Montover entered an agreement in Linn County for a surrogate to carry their child but surrender custody immediately upon birth.
“We decided to not use an agency, but our clinic gave us several websites of people advertising to be surrogates,” said Chantele.
