I'm researching lawyers now and I've been reading some classifieds (I don't want to use an agency). We will be starting from scratch, we don't have frozen embryos or anything like that. So I basically am doing all the work by myself so I hope I can find some answers here!

You've come to the right place! There are tons of experienced IPs and GS/TS that can help answer your questions! I suggested David Cole as a lawyer on your other post.. I found my first surrogate on my own and we didn't use an agency either.. it's possible! I know it can feel overwhelming at first.. just research all you can and any questions, feel free to ask!

Best of luck to you!! I look forward to following your journey!

Update: Our transfer was last week! Thanks for all the support and messages from everyone!!!
