I have over 35 years of experience helping people become families, more than 25 of those years as a surrogacy attorney. I have seen a lot of different scenarios, and I have not found a crisis that was not fixable. I devour information on surrogacy, keeping me up to date and effectively communicating with doctors. I have both years of legal experience and years of being immersed in the medical aspect of surrogacy. My knowledge helps me easily discuss any issue that may come up in the process.
It’s scary when you are trusting someone else to carry your child. It’s like when you are not too sure about using a babysitter when the kids can’t tell you if something goes wrong. With an unborn baby, anything the surrogate does will impact the child and impact you for the rest of your life. I understand this. At the same time, some intended families act as if they own the surrogate. They have to respect she has a life too. I end up being not only an attorney but a mediator, helping to facilitate their communication.
