Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys

If you are pregnant unexpectedly and you are unsure about what you should do next,  you are likely scared and confused as well. The road ahead is a complex and emotional journey filled with important decisions. If you are considering adoption, one of the most critical choices you’ll make is selecting the right legal counsel to guide you through the process. That’s where the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction, or AAAA, comes in.

The AAAA is a credentialed organization dedicated to the competent and ethical practice of adoption and assisted reproduction law. The organization and its members advocate for laws and policies that protect the best interests of children, the legal status of adoptive families and those formed through adoption reproduction, as well as the rights of all parties involved. These include birth parents, surrogates, adoptive parents, donors, and intended parents.

To ensure you are carefully guided through the adoption process, you should work with an AAAA fellow. Fellows of the Academy undergo a rigorous selection process and must demonstrate substantial experience, skill, and expertise in adoption and assisted reproduction law.  

Here are more reasons why an AAAA fellow can make a difference in your adoption journey:

  1. Expertise and Specialization
