Is Idaho a surrogate friendly state?
Yes! Many surrogates have given birth in Idaho without any difficulties. The intended parents leave the hospital with the baby. A few weeks after the birth, the intended parents will have to go through a quick court hearing that involves terminating the parental rights of the surrogate and establishing legal custody of the child. While this is an extra step in the process compared to states where you can establish parental rights before the birth, the benefits of having lower costs in Idaho make this worth it.
