Atlanta Assisted Reproduction Attorneys

When considering all the potential options for making an addition to your family, LGBT couples in Atlanta have plenty of resources and information to sort through in order to make the best decision.

The most popular choices for Assisted Reproduction in Georgia are:

  • Surrogacy
  • Artificial Insemination

Assisted reproduction allows gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender parents to have their own children and establish the family they’ve been desiring. Though these processes represent a time of great joy, there are important legal aspects of assisted reproduction that require an experienced attorney to successfully navigate.

Kitchens, New & Cleghorn has a unique blend of extensive experience and a wide breadth of legal knowledge to provide legal advice for gay and lesbian couples in Atlanta who are considering assisted reproduction.

Surrogacy – Assisted Reproduction in Georgia

Since surrogacy is not specifically addressed in Georgia Law, the process can be quite intricate from a legal standpoint. For example, establishing parental rights is an incredibly important step in the surrogacy process. It must be undertaken by a practiced Georgia attorney to avoid issues that might arise concerning who retains parental rights – you or the surrogate.

With the assistance of our experienced legal team, these issues will be taken care of in a professional and efficient way, so that you can focus on the important things: the newest member (or members) of your family. Kitchens, New & Cleghorn has successfully managed countless surrogacy and assisted reproduction cases for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in Atlanta. We are here for you throughout this exciting process, providing compassionate and invaluable legal assistance.

Sperm or Egg Donor Contracts in Georgia

Another popular option for assisted reproduction in Georgia is obtaining sperm or eggs from a donor. This too requires proactive legal guidance, in the form of a contract, to ensure that your parental rights are protected. Though most accredited donor agencies or sperm and egg banks have their own contract system, it’s best to pursue separate legal protection to ensure your rights.

Our Georgia LGBT lawyers will ensure that the donor:

  • Donates voluntarily
  • Understands the process and procedures involved in this type of assisted reproduction
  • Agrees with the expectations of both parties, after they have been clearly explained

The purpose of this all-too-necessary legal protection is to ensure that if any issues arise, they can be handled quickly and efficiently. In that light, an all-encompassing contract will be drafted by our legal team.

The contract we draft will address the following important legal aspects of assisted reproduction:

  • A detailed account of the circumstances of the donation and the reasons for donating
  • The expressed intent of the donor to relinquish all rights to the baby
  • Compensation for pain, suffering, and medical expenses should an issue arise between the parties
  • Most importantly, the expressed claim to your parental rights over the child

If for some reason the donor should change his or her mind and attempts to obtain custody or visitation rights for your child, this contract will provide the legal protection you need to avoid any and all such issues. The rights over your child will be secured by our competent legal team so you can rest easy and enjoy being a parent.
