We worked with Jennifer and Amy at Village Law Group to complete the confirmatory adoption of our new baby. While it’s frustrating and disheartening that this legal step is still necessary to protect the rights of non-biological LGBTQ+ parents, we knew we needed to do this.

Starting a family, while beautiful, can often be messy and stressful in the early stages. Now take that stress and amplify it by throwing in a combination of donor eggs and a gestational carrier...overwhelming right? Not at all at Village Law Group.
