National Infertility Awareness Week: How Infertility Can Impact Your Family

Family Law

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week! The annual awareness campaign hopes to educate more people about infertility and the medical methods available to overcome it so that the millions of Americans affected by infertility can feel more confident about starting their families. You never know when infertility might disrupt your future plans, so it is important to understand it better and to never judge someone who uses alternative pregnancy and reproductive methods.

Each year, countless families across the world use assisted reproductive technology by using a surrogate, egg donor, and/or sperm donor. While many people research the science behind these assisted reproductive technologies, many overlook the important legal aspects that come with them. For this National Infertility Awareness Week, we encourage you to get a better understanding of the legal complications that surround assisted reproduction and fertility laws.

Our attorneys at Wisselman, Harounian & Associates, P.C. would be pleased to discuss how we can provide assistance in protecting you and your family’s rights with the following:

  • Sperm and egg donor agreements
  • Embryo donation contracts
  • Second-parent adoptions
  • Obtaining an order of adoption
  • Obtaining a judgment of parentage
  • Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity (VAP)
  • Disposition of frozen embryos

National Infertility Awareness Week is important and critical to those struggling with their fertility. However, fertility struggles happen every week of the year, so it is always a good time to learn more. For more information, please go to https://infertilityawareness.org/.

W Hat our clients are saying...

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate working with you. I have been hearing such horror stories from my clients about their lawyers…from being unresponsive to giving bad advice. I was so lucky to have found you!

Former Client

Derrick Rubin advised my elderly Dad on his apt lease renewal. Time was of the essence and Mr. Rubin reviewed the lease immediately and met with us to over questions and concerns. He is extremely professional and meticulous, as well as patient and kind. Thank you!

Former Client

Jackie Harounian is professional, very knowledgeable, responsive and above all, kind and understanding. Working with her during difficult situations became a pleasurable experience and I plan to work with her again in the future. I would suggest her and her firm to everyone.

Former Client

Thank you very much for your help throughout my divorce. Your skill, patience, and calm disposition brought me reassurance during a very dark time. I appreciate everything you have done.
