Florida Gestational Surrogacy Attorney

Surrogacy is an extraordinary act of trust and compassion, a shared journey between intended parents and the person helping them bring a child into the world. But that trust needs clear, enforceable agreements to protect everyone involved.

At Florida Fertility Legal Services, a division of R|A Law, our role is to guide families and surrogates through this process with care and understanding. Founding attorney Gerardo (Gery) Rodriguez-Albizu has personally experienced the challenges of artificial reproductive technology (ART). He knows what this journey can be like, and will be there to support you and make the process go as smoothly as possible. 

Helping Intended Parents Navigate Florida Surrogacy Law

But do I really need a fertility law attorney? What will they actually do?

Florida law requires a written gestational surrogacy agreement before medical treatment begins. This document defines your rights, responsibilities, and expectations, but it also ensures that the surrogate’s needs are protected as well. Our firm helps intended parents:

• Draft and review the surrogacy agreement in compliance with Florida law.
• Clarify obligations for medical, insurance, and delivery-related costs.
• Coordinate with fertility clinics, agencies, and healthcare providers to keep the legal process aligned with medical milestones.
• Obtain the court order of parentage after delivery, which confirms your legal rights as parents on the birth certificate.

Your agreement should reflect your intentions and provide security for everyone involved. With the right legal support, you can focus on the joy of growing your family while knowing the details are handled with care.

Protecting Florida Surrogates Through Compassionate Legal Counsel

For surrogates, the decision to carry a child for someone else is deeply meaningful. It’s also a legal commitment that deserves clarity and fairness. As a Florida surrogacy lawyer, Gery ensures that every surrogate fully understands her rights and obligations before signing an agreement.

We help surrogates:

• Review and explain the agreement in plain language.
• Confirm that all medical expenses, insurance, and related costs are covered.
• Ensure that healthcare decisions, delivery planning, and post-delivery arrangements are handled respectfully and in accordance with Florida law.
• Protect your privacy, autonomy, and peace of mind throughout the process.

Our goal is to make sure you’re supported, not just legally, but personally. You should never feel uncertain about what’s expected or what happens next.

Why Legal Representation Matters in Gestational Surrogacy

A clear legal foundation helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps everyone focused on what truly matters: a healthy, positive experience for both the parents and the surrogate. Florida’s surrogacy laws are designed to protect all parties, but they only work as intended when agreements are drafted and executed correctly.

Having a knowledgeable fertility attorney ensures compliance, fairness, and transparency. With professional guidance, surrogacy becomes not just a dream realized, but a process built on mutual respect and understanding.
