Overland Park and Olathe Surrogacy Attorneys
Even if you choose to work with an agency like American Surrogacy, you will still need to work with a few other professionals for your surrogacy in Overland Park, Olathe or elsewhere in Johnson County.
Every Kansas surrogacy requires the guidance of an experienced surrogacy attorney — so you can properly navigate the legal environment of surrogacy in Kansas with a properly drafted surrogacy contract. Only after a contract is completed by two separate attorneys can the parties to a surrogacy move forward with this process.
When you work with American Surrogacy, your surrogacy specialist will provide a list of local Kansas surrogacy attorneys for your journey. However, the decision will ultimately be up to you. Some of the local surrogacy attorneys you may consider include:
- Michael J. Belfonte, P.C.
- Kevin Kenney
- Martin Pringle, Attorneys at Law
- Law Offices of Joseph W. Booth
- Reproductive Family Law Center
- Stange Law Firm, P.C.
Olathe and Overland Park Surrogacy Clinics
Another professional required in a Kansas surrogacy is a surrogacy clinic, also known as a fertility clinic.
This clinic will complete every step of the medical surrogacy process, from initial screening to embryo transfer preparation to the transfer procedure itself. It’s important to note that many of these surrogacy clinics will not start the medical process of surrogacy until a finalized surrogacy contract has been created.
In many surrogacy situations, intended parents already have a fertility clinic in mind — and it may not be an Overland Park or Olathe surrogacy clinic. It’s common for intended parents and gestational carriers to work with a surrogacy clinic outside of their home town, because many hopeful parents have existing relationships with a clinic from previous fertility treatments.
If you are a surrogate in Johnson County and your intended parents’ clinic is located elsewhere, don’t worry — your travel costs for the embryo transfer procedure will be covered by the intended parents.
If you are an intended parent looking for an Overland Park or Olathe surrogacy clinic for convenience of location, there are a few clinics in the greater Kansas City area that you can choose from:
- Blue Sky Fertility
- Midwest Reproductive Center, PA
- Reproductive Resource Center
- The University of Kansas Advanced Reproductive Medicine
Our surrogacy specialists can also provide a more comprehensive list of surrogacy clinics outside the Kansas City area, if needed.
Johnson County Professionals for Prenatal and Maternal Care and Delivery
One of the final professionals needed in a surrogacy in Johnson County, Kansas, is a medical professional to provide care to the surrogate during her pregnancy and delivery process. Because she is the one experiencing the pregnancy, it’s important that she work with an obstetrician she is comfortable with — which often means selecting a local medical professional in her hometown.
If you are a prospective surrogate in Johnson County, you have the right to select a local obstetrician that you prefer for your pregnancy. Remember, all of your medical expenses will be covered by the intended parents.
If you do not have an obstetrician you prefer, there are a few local options to consider:
