Comprehensive Surrogacy Legal Services
At our firm, we specialise in international surrogacy matters, providing a holistic range of legal services tailored to meet the unique needs of Irish clients.
We understand that individuals embarking on the surrogacy journey have often confronted significant challenges while attempting to conceive before opting for surrogacy. Frequently, this decision serves as a last resort after exploring all available alternatives. The ultimate aspiration, once the baby is born, is to bring them to Ireland and resume a typical family life. However, we acknowledge that the surrogacy process is far from straightforward.
It’s crucial to note that surrogacy lacks legislative regulation in Ireland, which can make the pursuit of legal parenthood appear quite daunting. We have a dedicated team poised to navigate you through the intricate legal aspects, guiding you towards your desired outcome.
Legal Counsel:
We provide legal guidance to couples and individuals considering embarking on the surrogacy journey. Prior to commencing this journey, seeking the appropriate legal advice regarding the complexities of surrogacy in Ireland, the requirements for reuniting with your baby, and establishing legal parenthood is vital.
During your initial consultation, we will address your unique circumstances and provide the necessary legal advice, addressing any initial questions you may have.
Choosing a Destination:
This chosen clinic will be your primary point of contact during the gestation period.
Surrogacy Agreement:
The signing of a surrogacy agreement is a pivotal step in the process. This agreement involves you (the intended parents), the surrogate, and the clinic, and it must be finalised before the embryo transfer.
Preparations for Arrival:
In anticipation of the baby’s arrival (which may involve one or more babies), we will prepare all necessary paperwork at least one month before your due date. We will collaborate with the clinic and your foreign lawyer to ensure the completion of all required documents for your return to Ireland.
Exit Strategy:
This stage represents an exciting phase in your surrogacy journey. Since the timing of a baby’s arrival is unpredictable and may occur early, late, or on schedule, we advise our clients to be prepared to depart for their destination as the due date approaches.
We will offer guidance and support during this special time, ensuring you can spend quality time with your new arrival(s) and smoothly exit the child’s birth country.
Court Applications:
If you’re embarking on a surrogacy journey in Ireland to expand your family, we’re here to guide you through the legal process with ease and assurance. We’ll assist you from the initial planning stages all the way to ensuring your legal status as the rightful parents of your child.
