Embryo Donation Lawyer New York, NY
Embryo donation allows remaining embryos from previous IVF cycles to be donated to hopeful parents in order to help another family grow. It’s generous, and it’s also legally significant. Your agreement must define ownership, clarify legal parentage, and address contract points such as future use, confidentiality, access to medical information, reimbursements, and the disposition of embryos under different scenarios (the birth of a child, completion of family building, or changes in family planning). A well-drafted contract gives clinics the confidence to proceed and provides both donor(s) and intended parent(s) peace of mind.
Common concerns when considering embryo donation include privacy, future contact, and how decisions will be made years from now that may impact the child and their genetic siblings. Our donation agreement lawyers understand the nuance inherent in every embryo donation arrangement, listen to your priorities, drafts a legal document that sets forth your intentions clearly and aligns with New York law, and coordinates with your clinic’s team in order to effectuate your intentions. We understand that embryo donation is a decision with lasting impact, and the considerations that must be addressed in each embryo donation arrangement.
Embryo donation can be directed (known), closed (anonymous) or semi-open, allowing for the parties to share limited personal information. In addition to the type of arrangement, the parties will need to address expectations regarding future contact among themselves, if and how they will foster a relationship between the genetically-related children, the disposition of remaining embryos, shipping and logistics, and other considerations unique to each donation. The agreement must also address legalities of embryo donation including ownership and dispositional control, medical risks and disclosures, and allocation of expenses (screening, storage, transportation costs). Every party to an embryo donation arrangement benefits from the clarity provided by a clearly-drafted agreement that accurately reflects the intentions of all parties and keeps the best interests of the children at the forefront.

“We contacted Janene to finalize the adoption of our daughter. She came highly recommended by our agency and exceeded our expectations! Janene made the legal process simple and stress free. She was always easy to contact and quick to respond. Janene was able to work around our schedule and made us feel like we were priority over anything else. I would recommend her to anyone looking for adoption legal representation.”
