Are You a Same-Sex Couple or Single Parent Considering Surrogacy?

Let our Surrogacy Lawyer Help!

Often, a single parent or a same sex couple would like to raise a child. The single parent or the same-sex couple may want to carry the family name on or may have a desire to become a parent or parents. The egg donor lawyer at Steven H. Snyder & Associates and the International Assisted Reproductive Center (IARC) help single parents (male or female) and same sex couples through the process of expanding their families.

An experienced surrogacy attorney drafts all of the contracts for you to ensure a smooth process, whether you use a surrogate (men) or are implanted with donated sperm (women). For single women or women who are in a same sex relationship who have other fertility problems, donated eggs can be used.

Alternatives to Adoption

For those single parents and same sex couples who would like to raise children, the adoption process can be difficult and in some cases not permitted at all. Surrogacy is an alternative to the adoption process. Options available include:

• Egg donation
• Sperm donation
• Embryo donation
• Using a surrogate

Getting Both Names on the Birth Certificate for Same Sex Couples

The experienced egg donor lawyers at Steven H. Snyder & Associates file pleadings with the Court prior to the birth of the child. This is done so that when the child is born, both parents’ names are on the birth certificate rather than the surrogate’s name.

It is easier to get a father’s name on a birth certificate (in the case of a single parent) when the gestational surrogacy process is used rather than traditional surrogacy. Sometimes this can be done without adoption proceedings. The father who donates his own sperm for the pregnancy is considered the biological father, even though in-vitro fertilization is used.
