Legal Issues For Female Same-Sex Couples

The States and individual Countries provide a patchwork of laws when defining "legal parent". Some may require a genetic connection, some a birth parent. There are no guarantees that your medical presentation matches how your jurisdiction recognizes you, post-delivery.  As such, we must design a  paradigm to dovetail your fertility issue with a legal response confirming your parentage. You may be carrying a child of your egg and donor sperm. Perhaps, your wife is carrying a child of your egg and donor sperm. Each medical approach requires a unique legal plan.  All of your questions regarding such family building can be answered by our office.

Three Parent Adoptions

With access to friends and close relatives, straight couples have long relied on an informal approach to blended families or co-parenting. The rise in the number of LGBTQIA+ couples has seen a rise in the curiosity of formalizing that which was informal. Thus, we have seen increasing interest in bringing all of the parental stakeholders into the same family. This can include permitting and encouraging the sperm donor to join a married lesbian couple in an adoption of their child, or, the ova donor with a married gay couple. Typically, the third parent is a platonic co-parent but can certainly be more than that. The benefits to the child are immeasurable.

Single Parent Concerns

We have had so many single parent clients that we can only guess as to the actual number. Nevertheless, those clients have requested many kinds of legal answers to their infertility questions. More specifically, we have helped single women and men with sperm donation, egg donation and surrogacy. Each client presents a unique infertility question which must be answered with a direct and transparent response. Regardless of your specific presentation, Florida can provide clarity during your journey and security to your parentage.
