"This book builds from the author's personal experience with surrogacy as an intended parent, but also as a law professor who has authored articles on surrogacy and a casebook in the field of contracts. This book is for the students, professionals and academics focusing on surrogacy, but is also for the intended parents, surrogates, and egg donors themselves to help with detailed information about the legal risks that need to be managed and the contracts involved that need to be structured to minimize that risk. This book combines an over-arching legal perspective with real world practical experience and stories"-- Publisher's website.
