D2Law Offers Legal Parentage Services in Ontario

The All Families are Equal Act changed the law in Ontario so that in many circumstances, declarations of parentage or second parent adoptions are no longer necessary to register the child’s birth in the parent’s name. However, there remain some situations in Ontario where a child is born through surrogacy (whether gestational surrogacy or traditional surrogacy), and an application ought to be brought before the court declaring the intended parents as the legal parents of the child and declaring that the surrogate is not a parent of the child. Fertility Law Canada can discuss with you which process or processes are best for your specific situation. Fertility Law Canada is frequently before the Ontario courts successfully obtaining declarations of parentage for parents of children born through surrogacy.
