Navigating Family Formation Laws: Essential Legal Protections for Surrogacy and Adoption

RENO, NV / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / As surrogacy and adoption continue to be significant options for individuals starting a family, there are key legal elements that cannot be overlooked. The legal process for both surrogacy and adoption can be quite complex and warrants the direction of an experienced professional to make sure all rights are protected.

LegalMatch.com, America's most trusted attorney-client matching platform, is urging prospective parents to have an attorney assist with complex areas that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Interstate and International Adoption: Assisting families with the complex navigations of adopting out of state or from another country. This can include compliance with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) and maneuvering laws of different nations.

• Establishment of Parental Rights: This can include termination of biological parental rights (if applicable) and obtaining court orders to confirm legal parental authority.

• Surrogacy Contract Drafting and Review: Ensuring that contracts are legally sound and have all parties' rights protected, intended parents and surrogates, in states where such agreements are enforceable.

"Adoption and surrogacy are multifaceted processes that are governed by a mix of federal and state laws, which have a large impact on contract enforceability, parental rights, etc. Legal direction is necessary to accomplish such tasks and avoid dramatic legal hurdles in the process of starting or expanding a family," says Ken LaMance, LegalMatch's General Counsel.

Individuals and families who are considering surrogacy or adoption can visit LegalMatch.com, submit their facts and questions, and be matched for free with a surrogacy attorney or an adoption attorney, depending on their chosen path. The platform also offers an Online Law Library filled with informative articles on surrogacy, adoption, family law, and more, so they can make informed decisions about their future children.
