If you have entered into an agreement with a gestational carrier or surrogate, you will want to secure a prebirth order so you can parent your child as soon as he or she is born. A prebirth order may also result in your names being placed on your child's birth certificate. The laws governing the establishment of parentage can limit your options, so you want an experienced lawyer to protect your interests, one who has successfully helped others in similar situations.
From my law office in Golden Valley, I have years of experience handling a wide range of issues involving the attainment of adoption and assisted reproduction parentage orders. I understand the emotional impact these matters have and provide responsive, compassionate and thorough representation to individuals in the Minneapolis and St. Paul areas and across the state of Minnesota. Contact me to set up a free initial consultation.
Though the laws of Minnesota will not allow an intended parent to obtain a determination of parentage prior to birth, there are measures that you can take that can safeguard your interests when working with a gestational carrier. I have worked extensively with intended parents, successfully helping clients obtain a pre-birth order for custody in the majority of cases I have handled.* This helps ensure hospital release of the child directly to the intended parent or parents.
For experienced representation throughout the state of Minnesota in matters related to parentage orders, contact my office or call me at 763-231-9600 to schedule a free initial consultation. Together, we will work to protect your interests throughout these legal proceedings.
*The facts of every case differ and past results are not a guarantee of future performance.
