§2720.13. Post-Birth Order
A. Upon birth of a child to a gestational carrier within three hundred days after in utero embryo transfer, the intended parents or their successors, the gestational carrier, or her spouse shall file a motion requesting issuance of a Post-Birth Order. The motion shall be accompanied by a certified copy of the child's original birth certificate and an affidavit executed by the intended parents containing an accounting of fees and charges paid or agreed to be paid by or on behalf of the intended parents in connection with the gestational carrier contract. The motion shall also be accompanied by verification from the physician that performed the in utero embryo transfer for the intended parents into the gestational carrier that the gestational carrier was not pregnant at the time of the transfer and the transfer resulted in a pregnancy.
B. The court may order a hearing and, after finding that the parties have complied with this Part, shall issue a Post-Birth Order:
(1) Confirming that the intended parents are the legal parents of the child and are financially responsible for the child.
(2) If necessary, ordering that the child be surrendered to the intended parents.
(3) Directing that a new birth certificate be created and that the intended parents be listed on the birth certificate as the parents of the child pursuant to R.S. 40:32 et seq., and that the original birth certificate be sealed and subject to release or inspection only upon application to the court for good cause shown.
