  • We highly recommend working with an attorney, and we are happy to provide advice and assistance while you secure the right partner. Laws in the fertility industry are not settled, and it is not a good idea to move forward without proper representation. 

    Our egg donors, sperm donors, and surrogates are all required to have an attorney in every cycle.
