Legal aspects of USA surrogacy - Men Having Babies 2011

Melissa Brisman of Reproductive Possibilities discusses legal constraints for surrogacy and gay parental rights in various states, possible legal setbacks and risks and how to prevent these challenges, and pre-birth and second parent adoption.

Melissa's presentation was part of the seventh annual "Men Having Babies" seminar on October 2, 2011, at Center Families of the LGBT Center in New York City. Check this channel for several more clips from this event.

The seminar included three parts: an overview of the surrogacy and egg donation process by a panel of legal and medical experts; short presentations by agencies and organizations who provide services and support for gay men who want to have babies; and personal stories from NY gay parents, two surrogates and an egg donor.
