Melissa and her husband are parents of twin boys and a daughter
through a gestational carrier. A gestational carrier is
a woman who carries a child conceived through the process
of in-vitro fertilization. The child is not biologically
related to her. This is different from a traditional surrogate
who supplies the egg and is the biological mother of the
child she delivers.
Intended Parents contact Melissa Brisman because a medical
reason has prevented the intended mother from carrying or
conceiving a child. The wife of the intended parents may
not be able to carry or conceive a child but she may produce
healthy eggs. In some situations, the intended parents will
also need to locate an egg donor. In either case, these
eggs will be fertilized outside of the woman's body and
the resulting embryos placed in a gestational carrier. Clients
also include gay male couples, single males and single females
(see testimonials).
The medical procedure will take place at an IVF facility
selected by the intended parents. If a pregnancy results,
the carrier will carry the child to term for the intended
parents.
The law office of Melissa Brisman provides legal services
to intended parents and assists them in finding appropriate
gestational carriers. Attorney Brisman drafts contracts
and obtains court orders for gestational carrier arrangements,
matches couples with the carrier of their choice and is
acknowledged as a foremost expert in the legal implications
of such arrangements.
The office will assist in coordinating all aspects of
the arrangement and will ensure you have your carrier carefully
screened. Extensive applications are obtained from all prospective
carriers. All carriers are interviewed prior to any meeting
being scheduled between the carrier and the couple.
As intended parents, you have the option of choosing
a carrier with whom you feel comfortable. If you do not
wish to proceed with any carrier you meet, our office
will continue to help you find prospective carriers until
you are happy.
