(d) Specific performance is not a remedy available for breach by a person acting as gestational surrogate of a provision in the agreement that the person acting as gestational surrogate be impregnated, terminate or not terminate a pregnancy, or submit to medical procedures.

(e) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section, if an intended parent is determined to be a parent of the resulting child, specific performance is a remedy available for:

(1) Breach of the agreement by a person acting as gestational surrogate that prevents the intended parent from exercising immediately upon birth of the child the full rights of parentage; or

(2) Breach by the intended parent that prevents the intended parent’s acceptance, immediately upon birth of the child conceived by assisted reproduction under the agreement, of the duties of parentage.
