When a client returns for a second journey, it speaks volumes. Alejandro’s trust in our legal team—for both his surrogacy and egg donation journeys—is something we don’t take lightly. Here’s what he shared:

“Embarking on a surrogacy and egg donation journey is both exciting and overwhelming—especially when doing it from another country. I’ve now completed two incredible journeys with the support of the International Reproductive Law Group, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by my side. Their team made a process that seemed daunting at first feel manageable, clear, and even joyful.

As someone from Argentina, navigating the legal and logistical complexities of U.S. surrogacy and egg donation was unfamiliar territory. But from the very beginning, Catherine and Jessica made me feel completely at ease. They were always available to answer questions, explain every step with patience, and offer reassurance when I needed it most. Their warmth, professionalism, and sincere dedication to my family’s well-being were evident in everything they did.

What stood out most was how personal the experience felt. I wasn’t just another case to them—I felt genuinely cared for. They celebrated the milestones with me, helped me through the challenging moments, and ensured every detail was handled with precision and heart.

To anyone in Argentina—or anywhere else in the world—who is considering this path, I can say without hesitation that IRLG is the team you want beside you. They understand the legal landscape, but more importantly, they understand people, families, and the emotional depth of this journey. And that makes all the difference.”

We’re so grateful for clients like Klaus, who’ve trusted us not once, but twice—through both surrogacy and egg donation. Providing legal guidance during these life-changing moments is our greatest honor. His words mean the world to us:

“Dear IRLG,
I cannot thank you enough for the incredible support and guidance you’ve provided in helping me realize my dream. Without your expertise, I’m not sure I could have made it through this journey—you made everything feel so seamless.
Knowing I was in knowledgeable and professional hands allowed me to focus on what truly mattered: starting my family. You took care of everything else with such care and precision.
Once again, thank you—truly—a million times over!
Warmly,
Klaus B.”

New Policy for Spanish IPs

Spain has just suspended all pending registrations for children born abroad through surrogacy and will no longer recognize foreign court orders or birth certificates establishing parentage via surrogacy.

But it’s not all bad news. Spanish Intended Parents still have a legal path forward — similar to the UK model. After birth, parents will need to pursue legal recognition in Spain through judicial proceedings, possibly involving proof of a biological link, the surrogate’s consent, and a court review focused on the child’s best interests.

This change may extend timelines and require additional steps, but parentage and citizenship are still achievable.

We’re here to guide you through every stage of the process. DM us or visit irlawgroup.com for support and updates.

IVF Milestones

As we recognize National Infertility Awareness Week, we reflect on the continued growth of IVF as a vital pathway to parenthood.

SART’s most recent data offers powerful insight into the long-term trends in assisted reproductive technology in the United States:

• 95,860 babies were born via IVF in 2023, accounting for 2.6% of all U.S. births
• 432,641 IVF cycles were completed across 371 reporting clinics
• 96.74% of IVF births were singletons, reflecting healthy and safe outcomes

This data reinforces a crucial truth: infertility is a medical condition that affects millions of people. IVF continues to offer hope and opportunity to intended parents from all walks of life—regardless of gender identity, relationship status, or orientation.

At IRLG, we remain committed to advocating for access, awareness, and inclusive support for all those on the path to parenthood.

The Empire State Building lit up in orange tonight—for you, for all of us—for infertility awareness.

As part of National Infertility Awareness Week 2025, this glow across the NYC skyline is a powerful reminder: your path to parenthood matters. Your heartache, your hope, your persistence—it all matters.

We have walked alongside thousands of intended parents, surrogates, and donors through the legal side of this deeply personal journey. But tonight reminded us that beyond contracts and court filings, this work is about something greater: visibility, compassion, and community.

Thank you and for making this moment possible. It’s only the third year the Empire State Building has honored infertility awareness—and yet, it already means so much to so many.

From our hearts to yours, we see you. We stand with you. And we’re honored to support your journey.

🍀 Did you know? 🍀

St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t always about shamrocks and parades—in fact, for centuries, it was a solemn religious feast in Ireland, with pubs closed by law! It wasn’t until Irish immigrants in the U.S. turned it into a grand celebration of heritage that the festive traditions we know today—parades, green everything, and a little luck of the Irish—took shape.

Whether you’re wearing green, searching for four-leaf clovers, or just enjoying the festive spirit, may today bring you joy, community, and a little bit of magic.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀💚

Arizona Blocks 15-Week Abortion Ban: A Win for Reproductive Freedom

The Arizona Supreme Court has permanently blocked the state’s 15-week abortion ban, a law that ignored the medical realities of pregnancy and the personal circumstances of those affected. It was never about health—it was about power.

While this ruling is a victory, it’s also a reminder: reproductive rights remain under siege across the country. Arizona is proof that legal battles matter. That voices matter. And that when we fight for choice, we fight for freedom.
