title: Surrogacy: an Illinois policy conceived.
abstract: It is predictable that the precipitous decline in the number of available children for adoption will find many Illinois couples pursuing the surrogate route, as has happened in other states. The current uncertain status of Illinois law regarding surrogate contracts demands legislative focus and direction. To prevent protracted litigation as in other jurisdictions and to prevent injustices to those involved in the surrogate argument, "what we do, let us do quickly."
