Foster + Bloom: The Law Firm Built for Family-Building
We are the nation’s most experienced law firm focused on family-building law — adoption, surrogacy, assisted reproduction, and parentage.
With nationwide reach and local insight, our adoption and surrogacy attorneys guide families through one of life’s most meaningful chapters with both clarity and compassion.
Why We Practice Family-Building Law
Our mission is simple: to give families the legal protection and personal support they need to focus on what truly matters — welcoming a child into their lives.
Foster + Bloom was created to make your family-building journey legally secure, ethically sound, and deeply supported.
Whether you’re adopting, pursuing a surrogacy journey, or formalizing a blended family through stepparent or second-parent adoption, we stand beside you so your journey feels safe and secure.
The Only Law Firm Focused Exclusively on Family Formation
Many family law firms focus on endings — divorce, custody battles, and disputes. While these things are important, we chose a different path.
Foster + Bloom is devoted to beginnings. Our areas of specialty — from adoption to surrogacy agreements, donor contracts to second-parent rights — are rooted in helping families grow.
When you’re dealing with something as important as the future of your family – with all the nuances, complexities and regulatory specifications involved – you don’t want a generalist. You need a specialist.
And our attorneys don’t just understand the laws that shape family formation better than anyone else; we understand the emotions that shape it too.
