Surrogacy Law In Kenya
Kenya is listed among the developing countries, which have not yet published any legally bounded regulations linked with performing surrogacy procedure. The practice of international surrogacy varies to a great extent from one country to another. This strictly depends on the current definite regulations of surrogacy in a country. Kenya is a country where surrogacy procedure is not completely prohibited. Commercial surrogacy is still permissible in Kenya, which proves to be useful. This popular type of surrogacy is performed in different surrogacy centres in Kenya. (Source: Standard Media) As there are no specific regulations for the practice of surrogacy procedure for national and international patients, it becomes more important that interested intended parents take best possible care of the legal aspects of the procedure to stay safe in the future. Couples must make sure that they consult a most experienced professional lawyer before going for a surrogacy procedure.
This helps interested couples to avoid falling in the trap of illegal procedures that target the ones who are unaware of different aspects of surrogacy. As there is an increasing demand for surrogacy procedure in Kenya, experts feel that the parents need to be very careful with their Surrogacy procedure. (Source: Surrogate.com).

As per this bill, a woman who is at least 25 years can become a surrogate mother and carry the baby in her womb, thus providing them with a baby at the end of the procedure. When the baby is born, the surrogate mother surrenders all the rights. This bill was introduced under the guidance of the expert lawyers in Kenya with the name of "The Reproductive Healthcare Bill, 2014". This bill created a positive aura about surrogacy and related useful healthcare facilities in the country. In this bill, different aspects of gestational surrogacy are mentioned in details.
The important aspects of this type of surrogacy, which are explained in the bill, include the right to gestational surrogacy, the agreement between the surrogate and intended parents.
