Family Formation

At St. John Law Group, we understand the unique concerns, complexities, and changing legal landscape that can arise in the fields of adoption and assisted reproduction technology (ART). We are committed to providing comprehensive legal support to individuals, couples, families, and donors navigating these paths.

In matters of adoption, we recognize that for some families, this is a joyous occasion of family expansion. We also recognize that for many LGBRQIA+ families, a second parent adoption is a means to protect the parental status they already have in Washington state. No matter whether this is a celebration or a formality, with our guidance and expertise, families can confidently embark on the journey of adoption, knowing they have the legal support they need to navigate the process smoothly.

When it comes to assisted reproduction technology, we recognize the emotional and legal complexities involved. We provide personalized attention and legal expertise to individuals, couples, families and donors exploring egg, sperm and embryo donation. We guide our clients through the legal framework surrounding ART, including drafting and negotiating contracts to protect their rights and to memoralize their intents. Our objective is to alleviate any legal concerns and provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your journey to parenthood or the gift of donation, with confidence.
