Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:2720.12

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Gestational carrier: means a woman who agrees to engage in a process by which she attempts to carry and give birth to a child born as a result of an in utero transfer of a human embryo to which she makes no genetic contribution. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:2718.1

            After the issuance of an Order Preceding Embryo Transfer, subsequent marriage of the gestational carrier does not affect the validity of a gestational carrier contract. The consent of the spouse is not required, and he is not a presumed father of the resulting child, notwithstanding any legal presumption to the contrary.

            Acts 2016, No. 494, §1.
