Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 109 § 109.244 — Effect

Effect of gestational surrogacy agreement. (1) A gestational surrogacy agreement that complies with ORS 109.222 to 109.244 is enforceable. (2) If a child was conceived by assisted reproduction under a gestational surrogacy agreement that does not comply with ORS 109.222 to 109.244, the court shall determine the rights and duties of the parties to the agreement consistent with the intent of the parties at the time of the execution of the agreement. Each party to the agreement and any individual who at the time of the execution of the agreement was a spouse of a party to the agreement has standing to maintain a proceeding to adjudicate an issue related to the enforcement of the agreement. (3) Except as expressly provided in a gestational surrogacy agreement or subsection (4) or (5) of this section, if the agreement is breached by the gestational surrogate, the gestational surrogate’s spouse or one or more intended parents, the nonbreaching party is entitled to the remedies available at law or in equity. (4) Specific performance is not a remedy available for breach by a gestational surrogate of a provision in the agreement that the gestational surrogate be impregnated, terminate or not terminate a pregnancy or submit to medical procedures. (5) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (4) of this section, if an intended parent is determined to be a parent of the child, specific performance is a remedy available for: (a) Breach of the agreement by a gestational surrogate or the gestational surrogate’s spouse that prevents the intended parent from exercising immediately on birth of the child the full rights of parentage; or (b) Breach by the intended parent that prevents the intended parent’s acceptance, immediately on birth of the child conceived by assisted reproduction under the agreement, of the duties of parentage.
