William Stern was the biological father in the Baby M case (1988), the first major American court case to evaluate the validity of commercial surrogacy contracts.
In re Baby M (1988) established that commercial surrogacy contracts are unenforceable in New Jersey and that birth mothers retain parental rights; the case defined the legal and ethical framework for surrogacy across the United States.
