What can the parents-to-be do if the surrogate mother goes back on her promise and refuses to hand over the baby after the birth?

They must apply to court to grant a parental order within seven days of the birth. The court will appoint a welfare officer to make a report and after receiving it will decide whether there has been a change of circumstances that justifies the mother withdrawing her consent. Once a parental order has been granted the surrogate mother cannot withdraw her consent.
