Abstract
Obstetricians need to be aware of potential legal changes which may impact the doctor-patient relationship in surrogacy cases. Presently, English law recognises the surrogate as the mother. After giving birth, she may hand over the baby. The commissioning couple then apply for Parental Orders and become legal parents if the conditions in the Surrogacy Arrangements Act 1985 are met.
