Surrogacy Attorneys and Legal Services
Surrogacy is a profound partnership, and at the heart of that partnership is a contract.
These contracts are complex, and the negotiations can be delicate. At Foster + Bloom, we handle the legal complexities so both parties can focus on the most important part of this journey: creating a family.
The surrogacy legal process includes multiple legal steps — agreements, parental rights, medical decisions — and every state has different requirements. Our experienced team understands the unique challenges of surrogacy law and works to protect both parties throughout the process.
