The Law Commission recommended that the commissioning parents should be recognized as the legal parents from the time of the child’s birth, and the birth certificate should show their names as parents. This was intended to prevent any legal issues regarding the child’s parentage and to protect the identity and privacy of the surrogate mother. The report advocated for altruistic surrogacy and strongly recommended against commercial surrogacy.
