Once you are matched, NYSC will provide you with recommendations for attorneys licensed in the appropriate state. To decide between these attorneys, you should review their websites, read their google reviews and search for reviews in Facebook surrogacy groups. If you want to look into other attorneys, make sure they regularly handle surrogacy matters (not just regular family law attorneys), ask about their fees and check to see if they are an ART Fellow of the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (“AAAA”), which is an organization that has strict requirements for membership based on level of experience and attorney/judicial recommendations. When you’ve narrowed down your selection, you can reach out to the attorney and ask to set up a brief call to make sure that you get a good feeling about the attorney.
