Magazine Articles
Family Advocate
Fall 2011The following article was written by Liz for The American Bar Association’s Section on Family and its publication The Family Advocate. Please note when reading this article that it was written for other attorneys as an introduction to dealing with clients entering into egg donation arrangements. The article is being posted on the website as it contains valuable information on why egg donation agreements are necessary and valuable; but when reading the article please consider that it was written for an audience of attorneys, not those individuals or parents entering into the emotionally complex world of egg donation.
