Surrogacy Lawyers in Tallahassee, FL
One thing you’ll quickly learn is that surrogacy laws in Florida can be complicated. So, you’ll need the guidance of a legal expert to navigate them safely. Whether or not you work with an agency, you must always work with an attorney for surrogacy in Tallahassee.
Surrogacy attorneys play a few important roles. They make sure your rights and interests are protected by:
- Evaluating your surrogacy plans to confirm adherence to local laws and procedures
- Drafting and finalizing a legal contract, addressing:
- Surrogate compensation
- Risks and liabilities
- Sensitive topics (like selective reduction and termination)
- Parental rights
- And more
- Establishing intended parents’ rights with a pre- or post-birth order
- And providing legal advice from start to finish of your journey
We are always happy to provide our clients references to local Tallahassee surrogacy attorneys. However, the ultimate choice is always theirs to make. If you want to start learning more about Tallahassee surrogacy laws and processes, consider reaching out to these Florida firms:
- Elizabeth F. Schwartz, P.A.
- Greenspoon Marder LLP
- Haslett Law
- Hausmann & Hickman, P.A.
- Law Office of Karen Persis, P.A.
Please remember that intended parents and gestational carriers must be represented by separate attorneys. Intended parents must pay for their surrogate’s legal fees.
Surrogacy Clinics in Tallahassee
There’s one more professional you’ll need to have before starting: a surrogacy clinic.
These clinics (also known as fertility clinics) handle all the complicated steps of creating a gestational pregnancy. Each of these steps must be supervised by an experienced medical professional to protect the parties involved. As you consider your Tallahassee surrogacy clinic options, look for a professional who can:
- Screen each party to confirm their medical eligibility
- Create embryos for transfer (if necessary)
- Prepare a surrogate with a detailed fertility medication protocol
- Complete the embryo transfer procedure
- Confirm the gestational pregnancy
It can be daunting to find a surrogacy clinic, but know this: If you have an existing relationship with a fertility clinic in Tallahassee or elsewhere, you will be able to use that clinic for these pre-pregnancy steps! However, intended parents who don’t use a local clinic will need to pay for their surrogate’s travel and lodging costs. (After her pregnancy is confirmed, she’ll receive the rest of her prenatal care from her local obstetrician.)
Don’t have a Tallahassee surrogacy clinic in mind? Fortunately, there are a multitude of options in Florida that you can choose from, including:
- Brown Fertility
- Fertility Center of Orlando
- Florida Institute for Reproductive Medicine – Tallahassee
- NewLIFE Fertility
