International Fertility Law Group, Inc.

The world’s foremost firm devoted to Assisted Reproductive Law (ART), serving intended parents worldwide, surrogates, and donors. Multilingual law firm.

We bring legal expertise, cultural fluency, and dedicated care to every family-building journey. International Fertility Law Group, Inc., was founded by
attorney Rich Vaughn in 2011 with an exclusive focus on assisted reproductive technology law and family formation law. IFLG offers expert legal services in all areas of ART law, including surrogacy, egg donation, embryo donation, s***m donation,

parental establishment, non-traditional family formation, co-parenting and second-parent adoption. Rich became fascinated with ART law when he and spouse, Tommy Woelfel, were going through the surrogacy process that resulted in the birth of their twin sons. Rich, who at that time had a successful 15-year career in business and technology law, decided to make helping other families his life’s work.. Since launching IFLG, Rich and his team of fertility law professionals have helped hundreds of families from a wide range of circumstances, informing and guiding intended parents through the process, every step of the way. Today, Rich is among the world’s best known experts in the fields of assisted reproductive technology law and family formation law. In addition, he and IFLG have built an extensive network of attorneys who are expert in assisted reproductive technology law in every U.S. state and in nearly every nation of the world. Their personal empathy with intended parents, extensive backgrounds in ART law, and access to legal expertise the world over have made International Fertility Law Group a leader in the field of assisted reproductive technology law.

This past weekend, IFLG was honored to attend Family Equality’s Night at the Pier in NYC, surrounded by advocates, changemakers, artists, and families united by the belief that every family deserves the opportunity to thrive.

From moving remarks to unforgettable performances, the evening celebrated how far LGBTQ+ families have come, while reminding us how important continued advocacy and legal protection remain. We were inspired to see more than $1.1 million raised in support of LGBTQ+ families nationwide.

Thank you to Family Equality for creating such a meaningful evening and for continuing to champion families with such heart and purpose.

LGBTQ+ family building through assisted reproduction is not defined by a single path. It may involve surrogacy, egg donation, s***m donation, embryo donation, adoption, or a combination of legal and medical steps carefully structured around each family’s circumstances.

In this conversation with Jeffrey Hayes and Dr. Lowell Ku, Rich Vaughn and Dr. Kim Bergman discuss some of the most important legal and emotional considerations for LGBTQ+ intended parents, including the difference between adoption and parentage orders, the importance of early legal planning, and why ART is truly a team effort.

One of the most important takeaways: structuring the process correctly from the beginning will significantly reduce legal risk.

You can listen to the full conversation at the link in our bio.

We warmly invite you to an exclusive evening for intended parents considering US surrogacy as a path to parenthood. Come and meet us in a relaxed, discreet, and elegant setting, with the chance to chat informally over drinks and canapes. Spaces are limited so book your spot asap using the form below.

Top legal experts from both sides of the pond Natalie Gamble and Rich Vaughn will give a short presentation, and be available to answer questions, about the current US landscape. We know that many intended parents are feeling anxious, and we will give honest answers to current common questions including:

Is there any agenda to restrict surrogacy in the US?
How problematic is US immigration? Are intended parents experiencing problems getting into the US?
What happens if US passports stop being issued to children born to foreign parents?
Does the new UK ETA guidance affect parents bringing surrogate babies home from the US?

We are also thrilled to be joined by one of the US’s top fertility doctors, Dr Guy Ringler, who will be on hand to answer any medical questions you may have.
