When we first started to think of having a family, we had no idea that a lawyer would play a key part. But when we couldn’t conceive naturally, we had to examine other options. We are based in Ireland where surrogacy is not legal, so we had to expand our horizons. The USA was our preferred destination for many reasons, but mainly because of the way the Surrogate Mother would be treated/respected. We were put in contact with Ms. Brinkley and she fully explained the legal aspects and managed the process very well for us, keeping us well-informed at each stage. She even offered to drive 300 miles to sort out our son’s Birth Certificate! As international clients, time is precious and I would highly recommend Stephanie Brinkley—her experience in this area makes her invaluable to any Surrogacy, and especially so for International Intending Parents.
