Surrogacy Lawyer
Dorene has practiced family law for more than 28 years, representing clients in traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy. The difference between the two:
- Traditional surrogacy is when the carrier uses her own egg, usually fertilized through artificial insemination with the sperm of the intended father or a donor.
- Gestational surrogacy is when the carrier does not use any of her own genetic material to achieve pregnancy.
As you can imagine, each of these carries a different set of legal repercussions that need to be discussed by all parties to the agreement with an experienced surrogacy lawyer before the child is born.
