Thorough, knowledgeable, and supportive about complex IVF and adoption issues

I hired Jennifer and Amandaof Anderson Ballard LLC to look into various questions about my complicated IVF cycle with an egg donor. Initially I was mainly curious about the legal picture regarding identity and contact rights (both for us and for the egg donor in future), but after seeing Amanda and J...ennifer's research, my eyes were opened to numerous other angles to consider. I now feel like I have a thorough picture of the ins and outs of the current law as well as some practical advice about how I can work with my IVF clinic (or potential other agencies) to address my concerns about identity, privacy, future potential medical issues, and maybe even donating surplus embryos someday. There are so many tricky emotional and legal considerations in this fertility world! These two attorneys armed me with the info to proceed confidently with my cycle and know what everyone's rights are moving forward and how I can best approach my family planning in a way that meets everyone's needs.
