Amanda Troxler has been practicing family formation law since 2013. She represents hundreds of Intended Parents, Donors, and Surrogates a year. Additionally, Amanda has personal experience in third party assisted reproduction, having been an egg donor. In today’s show we are going to explain what family formation law is. As a fertility patient, it’s important that you understand some of the basic legal pieces that you might want to have in place for your journey, whether that be for IVF, or if you’re going to be using donor eggs, donor sperm, or using a gestational carrier. I very much love Amanda’s thoughtful and caring approach to making family formation law approachable. As she says, “healthy families are formed through honest communication and centering the needs of the future child." Amanda received her J.D. from UCLA law on a Dean’s Merit Scholarship in 2012. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern University in 2008. Amanda is a member of the Academy of California Adoption-ART Lawyers (“ACAL”), Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy (“SEEDS”), and American Society of Reproductive Medicine (“ASRM”).
