Having experienced legal counsel is important for both surrogates and intended parents. While the IPs are responsible for the surrogate’s attorney’s fees, the surrogate chooses her own legal counsel.
However, both attorneys should be well-versed in surrogacy law in the state where the surrogate resides. If you are not familiar with an attorney fitting these requirements, Heartland Surrogacy can make recommendations to trusted attorneys in our network.
You can also find a list of attorneys with experience in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) law through the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys.
