Michigan’s First Surrogate Birth

Michigan is about to make history as Lily Smith prepares to deliver the state’s first legal surrogacy birth in five weeks — a landmark moment just weeks after paid surrogacy was legalized statewide. Smith, who connected with intended mother Alexandra Archer through Facebook, is poised to become the first surrogate to deliver at McLaren Hospital and the first in Ingham County. Their bond, forged over a year, reflects the emotional depth behind this pioneering journey. With Michigan once the last state to criminalize paid surrogacy, this new law opens doors for all families — and Smith is already stepping up to guide others through the evolving landscape.
