Who pays if something goes wrong and I need surgery or bed rest?
The short answer
The intended parents, through escrow. Your contract itemizes payments for invasive procedures, cesarean delivery, bed rest, childcare during bed rest, and lost wages for you and your partner [CONFIRM figures]. The parents' obligation does not depend on their goodwill; it is funded before medications begin.
