When traditional routes to parenting aren’t available, knowledgeable, caring professionals can help make your parenting dreams reality. Our firm is available to help with the legal aspects of your path toward parenthood – whether through assisted reproduction or adoption.
We can help you with enlisting the assistance of an egg donor, a sperm donor, and/or a gestational carrier. We’ll also craft the necessary agreements and handle the court proceedings to secure your parental rights and terminate any rights of the donor or carrier. Our firm will help you understand how Florida law applies in your particular situation.
In the case of gay couples, especially in the current political climate, it’s strongly suggested not to rely solely on having both parents’ names on the child’s birth certificate regardless of the form of third party reproduction you’re using. To button up those parental rights, we do a simple confirmatory legal process for you - affordably and promptly.
If you're considering adoption to grow your family, we can match you with a pregnant woman who has decided to give her child up for adoption.
If you're becoming the second legal parent of your partner or spouse's child, the law now provides the kind of protection and permanence that all Florida families have deserved. In 2010 the law changed, finally allowing LGBT people to adopt in Florida. We're proud to have contributed to the legal effort to make that possible.
We are also well versed in other forms of adoptions, such as adoptions of adult children and adoptions by grandparents or other relatives.
Rest assured - gay or straight, single or coupled, simple or complex, we can make it work in Florida!
