On May 3, 2018, our principal lawyer and fertility law expert Kelly Jordan, presented to the National Judicial Institute to Ontario Superior Court Judges. Along with her co-presenter and mediator Christine Kim, Kelly covered the topic: “When LGBTQ individuals decide to parent and establish a family and how these decisions inform positions they take when there is a break-down of the parental relationships.”

Some of the issues covered in the presentation included
– Decision that go into parenting for LQBTQ families
– Third parties involved in assisted human reproduction
– Legal issues related to parenting that arise upon breakdown of LGBTQ relationships
– The effects of not being able to pay for surrogacy and gamete donation.
