Mr. Richard Vaughn:

I will try to answer that quickly. The answer is, “No”. There is not one state I would recommend. There are some states, like California, where any parent can become a parent, whether they are married, gay, straight, genetically connected or not. My analysis begins with intending parents in terms of what states are legally suitable for them. Then the challenge is to find an appropriate and good surrogate match. The basic bottom line is that there are different hoops to jump through in different states, but the end result is the same, where surrogacies allow these parents to become the legal parents.
