California has become the world’s most established and legally secure destination for IVF and surrogacy. For private families in Hong Kong and Singapore seeking discretion, governance, and long-term certainty, California offers a fertility framework unmatched anywhere else globally.

In April 2026, Ron Sonnenberg, Co-Founder of IMA ART Fertility Beverly Hills, will be in Asia for a limited number of private, by-appointment consultations with individuals and families exploring IVF and surrogacy options in the United States.

These consultations are intended for families who understand the limitations of local fertility pathways and wish to gain a clear, authoritative overview of what California enables.

Why California Is the Global Benchmark for IVF & Surrogacy

California’s fertility ecosystem has evolved over decades through medical leadership, sophisticated jurisprudence, and patient-centric regulation. The result is a jurisdiction that treats fertility as private healthcare supported by enforceable law, rather than social policy.

Fully Legal, Court-Recognized Gestational Surrogacy

California is internationally regarded as the most legally protective jurisdiction for gestational surrogacy.

Gestational surrogacy is expressly lawful
Surrogacy agreements are enforceable
Courts routinely issue pre-birth parentage orders
Intended parents are legally recognized before the child is born

This framework eliminates ambiguity and post-birth legal risk, a critical consideration for internationally mobile families and cross-border citizenship planning.

Pre-Birth Legal Certainty and Predictable Outcomes

California’s fertility law is underpinned by extensive reproductive case law.

Parentage is established prior to delivery
Birth certificates reflect intended parents from the outset
Court orders support immigration, nationality, and passport processes
Legal outcomes are predictable and consistently upheld

For families accustomed to structured planning, this legal clarity mirrors the standards expected in private wealth and estate governance.

Broad Access to IVF, Donor Eggs, and Donor Sperm

California allows comprehensive IVF pathways.Families may pursue:

IVF using their own gametes
Donor egg and donor sperm arrangements
Combined genetic strategies
Embryo creation aligned with long-term family planning goals

Medical decision-making remains clinician-led, enabling personalized treatment strategies rather than standardized regulatory limits.

No Statutory Age Limits on IVF or Embryo Transfer

California does not impose government-mandated age cutoffs for IVF or embryo transfer.

Instead:

Eligibility is determined through individualized medical assessment
Embryo banking can occur at earlier life stages
Transfers may be timed strategically over years

This flexibility is particularly relevant for women and families pursuing parenthood later in life or across multiple phases.

Advanced Genetic Testing & Embryo Governance

California clinics offer full access to advanced preimplantation genetic testing, including:

PGT-A (chromosomal screening)
PGT-M (single-gene disorder testing)
PGT-SR (structural rearrangement testing)

These technologies support:

Reduced miscarriage risk
Improved implantation outcomes - highest success rates defined as giving birth to a single healthy child
Informed embryo selection aligned with medical best practices

Unlimited Embryo Banking & Long-Term Cryopreservation

California permits:

Creation and storage of multiple embryos
Long-term cryogenic preservation without statutory caps
Secure domestic and international embryo transport

This allows families to plan with time, continuity, and optionality, rather than regulatory deadlines.

Equal Legal Standing for All Family Structures

California fertility law is gender-neutral and marital-status neutral.

Single parents
Same-sex couples
Non-traditional family structures

All are afforded equal protection and recognition under IVF, surrogacy, and parentage law.
