Certain intended parents requirement to adopt the child

This bill requires certain intended parents in Minnesota to legally adopt the child they intend to have through surrogacy or other assisted reproduction methods. It specifically affects intended parents who are not biologically related to the child and do not give birth to the child, stating they are not considered legal parents until they complete an adoption process. The law would take effect on August 1, 2026, and would apply to children born on or after that date. This change would mean these individuals must go through the standard adoption procedures outlined in Minnesota law to establish legal parentage.
