Yes. LGBTQ+ couples and individuals, single parents, and intended parents from a wide range of family structures build their families through embryo donation.

The legal landscape, however, is uneven. Some states have stronger statutory protections than others, some jurisdictions allow certain agencies to decline service on religious grounds, and parentage recognition varies depending on family structure. For families who may live in or travel to states with weaker protections, a confirmatory adoption or a formal judgment of parentage can provide important additional security.

International intended parents face an additional layer of complexity, including parentage recognition in the home country, birth certificate procedures, immigration and citizenship considerations, return-home logistics, and marital status requirements in certain jurisdictions. Our firm works extensively with both domestic and international intended parents in navigating these issues.
