Acceptance of California Pre-birth order

Yes; however, the Order will only be honored for Intended Parents with genetic connections.  If an Intended Parent is not genetically related, they must adopt the child(ren). 

The Order must also be domesticated via local counsel following the birth.  The Order provided to local counsel must be both certified and exemplified. 

As of April 2017, the Order will likely be domesticated and recognized within a week

Prior to the birth, provide the hospital with the GC's signed Guardian Designation.  At the time of birth, an Acknowledgment of Paternity (green sheet) will be provided by the hospital and will need to be completed, signed by all parties, and notarized by the hospital's notary.  The Acknowledgment of Paternity will list the Intended Father's name on the birth certificate with the GC; the domesticated Order will instruct Vital Records to remove the GC's name and issue a corrected birth certificate.

Birth Certificates

Timing - Varies by county, but the typical time frame is 10 business days.
