EXPERIENCED SURROGACY LAWYER
Mary L. Greenwood has practiced family law for more than 30 years. She has represented clients in both types of surrogate pregnancy:
Traditional surrogacy is when the carrier uses her own egg, which is usually fertilized through artificial insemination with the sperm of the intended father or a donor. If the procedure results in a pregnancy, she will carry the infant until the time of delivery.
Gestational surrogacy is when the carrier does not use any of her own genetic material to achieve the pregnancy. The sperm and egg are either from the intended parents or from a donor. If the procedure results in a pregnancy, she will carry the infant until the time of delivery.
IN REPRESENTING INTENDED PARENTS
Mary L. Greenwood crafts a surrogacy agreement that is comprehensive, clear and concise to avoid disputes or “surprises” in the process. The contract addresses all risk factors and contingencies. We make sure that all parties understand their role and their rights, and we assist in getting the best medical care for the surrogate mom and the child.
IN REPRESENTING SURROGATE MOTHERS
Brandon Family Law Center, LLC, ensures that birth mothers’ rights are protected, that they fully understand the medical risks, and that they are fairly (and legally) compensated for their participation. As most surrogates have families of their own, we negotiate benefits to protect the surrogate’s spouse and children as well.
