new ways to
Create your family
Herrin & Leach, LLC, specializes in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the term for technology used to achieve pregnancy in procedures such as fertility medication, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and surrogacy. I work as an assisted reproductive technology attorney in Indiana and am dedicated to helping build families in an ethical manner. If you are employing the services of an egg donor, sperm donor, embryo donor or gestational carrier/surrogate or are acting in one of these capacities, it is important to consult with an attorney experienced in ART. I have substantial experience helping individuals and families using assisted reproductive technology to build their family. If you want to become a surrogate and provide the gift of life to intended parents, we can help explain the process and find the perfect family. If you have already located a surrogate, we can focus on the legal aspects in Indiana.

Our Services
Surrogacy
If you are considering surrogacy, whether you are looking to build your family or are interested in becoming a surrogate, it is important to understand the process and your legal rights.
Egg/Sperm donation
Egg and sperm donation is the process by which a woman provides one or several eggs (ova) or a man donates his sperm for purposes of assisted reproduction through IVF and contemplates that the eggs will be fertilized and implanted into another woman’s uterus.
Parentage
After the gestational surrogate and Intended Parents execute their gestational surrogacy agreement and a successful pregnancy is achieved, the next step is for the Intended Parents to start the process of establishing legal parentage of the child that will be born to the surrogate.
embryo adoption
The process of embryo donation/adoption allows the genetic parents of the frozen embryos to transfer their legal rights to an embryo to another couple who seek to adopt the embryo and subsequently parent the child.

About Us
John Q. Herrin, retired
At Herrin & Leach, we know and embrace the importance of your adoption. That’s why we have created a firm that focuses solely on adoption. We believe attorneys who are committed to the adoption process best serve those families seeking to adopt and the children who need safe, loving families. We are committed to helping adoptive parents and expectant mothers navigate the adoption process.
Indiana adoption law is complex and ever-changing. It is not always easy for nonlawyers or lawyers who do not work exclusively in adoption to stay on top of the ever-changing laws. Since our focus is adoption, we understand the laws inside and out.
