The American Surrogacy Center [TASC] provides a very positive analysis of legal surrogacy in West Virginia. TASC says:
"West Virginia is a surrogacy-friendly state. Some states have a great deal of law on the subject of surrogacy - either from state statutes or appellate court cases. Other states have no law, which leaves the question up in the air. West Virginia has only one sentence in its law which is incredibly significant."
The American Surrogacy Center says the District of Columbia is very unfriendly toward surrogacy.
