Adoption/Assisted Reproductive Technology Law

Deciding to start a family is one of the biggest choices you are going to make in your life. Whether you wish to adopt or utilize assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination, IVF, egg donation, sperm donation or surrogacy, KingSpry is here to help.

Our team is experienced in legal matters related to adoption and assisted reproductive technology (ART). We have guided numerous families from the Lehigh Valley and beyond through the often complex and emotional legal intricacies of family building. Dorota Gasienica-Kozak, our chair, is a fellow of the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA) and a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) as well as a committee member of the American Bar Association’s Family and ART Law sections.

On the cutting edge of these new family formation options and the developing laws around them, we protect intended parents by obtaining rights to the children born of ART and represent ART physicians, donor agencies, adoption agencies, and foster care agencies, as well as egg, sperm and embryo donors and surrogates.
