Parental Right to Privacy and Hospital Access
I have provided clients with experienced and committed representation in surrogacy and other collaborative reproduction matters since 1986. I handle a wide range of parental rights issues, including:
- Privacy Expectations - Hospitals may ask a parent for a copy of the surrogacy contract. I will contact the hospital regarding issues with contracts and court orders to, where possible, avoid disclosing this personal information.
- Hospital Planning - Depending upon the court of origin (probate or juvenile), hospitals may not yet have the birth order establishing parentage. I will help obtain and supply the necessary court order and facilitate communication between the Intended Parents and hospital personnel while your child awaits discharge to ensure that you, as the Intended Parents, are the decision makers for your child.
