The England and Wales GC pathway is non-commercial and post-birth-parentage dependent. The gestational carrier is the legal mother at birth, retains medical decision-making, and gives parental-order consent only after birth. Agreements are not enforceable, commercial facilitation is restricted, and reasonable expenses are reviewed by the court rather than approved by a universal tariff.
