Take Action: Protect Children - Reject the Uniform Parentage Act

“The safety and well-being of children should be paramount when considering legislation concerning parental rights. House Bill 350 fails to address those concerns.” - Judge Cheryl Allen  

House Bill 350, also known as the “Uniform Parentage Act,” poses serious concerns for the rights of children, the dignity of women, and the integrity of family. 

The Uniform Parentage Act treats children as commodities. It would remove current safeguards in the adoption process. It would allow unrelated adults to be named on birth certificates without adoption or proper screening. It eliminates protections that currently ensure the best interest of the child, such as judicial review and the adoption process, and opens the door for children to be treated as property in commercial surrogacy and even paid sexual arrangements for conception. 

House Bill 350 would legalize commercial surrogacy, stripping children of their biological identity, access to medical history, and family roots, while expanding profit-driven reproductive contracts. The result of this legislation would be putting a price tag on babies, increasing the likelihood of abusive arrangements.

We must not allow children to be commodified or women exploited under the guise of reproductive freedom. 

Lawmakers need to hear from concerned citizens now. Please contact your state representative and urge them to oppose HB 350. Children are not commodities—they deserve protection, identity, and the right to be connected to their biological origins.
