Surrogacy involves multiple parties and detailed agreements. A lawyer ensures the contract meets Florida’s legal standards, clearly defines each person’s rights, and secures a court order confirming parentage after birth. Having an attorney means you’ll understand every step, from signing the agreement to finalizing your child’s birth certificate, without worrying about legal gaps or misunderstandings.

We guide intended parents through the full legal process. We’ll explain how Florida law works, draft and review contracts, coordinate with clinics and agencies, and prepare parentage documents. We will also answer questions that come up along the way, helping you stay informed and confident. Our role is to make the legal process clear and to protect your growing family from start to finish.

A fertility lawyer doesn’t just represent intended parents, we also help surrogates, egg donors, and sperm donors understand their rights. Legal guidance ensures agreements are fair, clear, and reflect your intentions. From contract review to final documentation, we make sure your role in the process is fully understood and legally protected under Florida law.

Once the medical steps are planned, the legal process begins with drafting a surrogacy agreement that complies with Florida law. Each party has independent legal counsel. After the baby’s birth, a court issues a final judgment confirming the intended parents’ rights. Throughout this process, we work with your clinic and agency to keep everything legally sound and on schedule.

We help LGBTQ+ couples navigate every legal step of family building, from drafting surrogacy or donation agreements to confirming both parents’ legal rights after birth.

Ideally, your first step should be to speak with an attorney before you sign any contracts or begin medical treatment. Starting early allows your lawyer to identify potential issues, explain the legal process, and ensure all agreements align with Florida law.

However, if you’ve already started working with a clinic, agency, or surrogate and need legal guidance now, we can step in at any point. Our team has the experience and resources to resolve issues quickly and ensure your family’s legal foundation is secure.

After the birth, your attorney prepares the court filing that confirms legal parentage and directs the Florida Department of Vital Statistics to issue the correct birth certificate.
