Gay couple denied baby via surrogate challenging Utah law
“SALT LAKE CITY — A gay couple denied the chance to have a baby using a surrogate challenged a Utah law’s reference to heterosexual parents on Tuesday in a case that illustrates the legal complications LGBT couples can face when starting families amid a national patchwork of surrogacy laws.
The case came before the Utah Supreme Court after a judge refused to approve the couple’s surrogacy agreement. The judge in southern Utah cited references to a mother in the law’s requirement that prospective parents prove a woman can’t have children without serious health risk before they turn to surrogacy.”
