生育规划
Fertility Planning
Families planning to have children often face medical, legal, language and financial questions at the same time. MMG works with medical institutions in the U.S. and abroad and with partner attorneys to provide lawful, compliant consultation and coordination: helping you understand the options, arranging medical interpretation and appointments, and having partner attorneys handle the legal documents. All medical decisions are made by licensed providers and physicians; MMG does not provide medical services.
FAQ
Questions families ask
What exactly does MMG do in fertility planning?
Our work is consultation and coordination: explaining the general process and paperwork for services such as egg freezing and IVF, helping you contact licensed medical providers, arranging Chinese-language medical interpretation and appointments, and referring you to partner attorneys when legal documents are involved. Whether a treatment is suitable and how likely it is to succeed can only be judged by a physician based on your own test results, and we make no promises about medical outcomes.
What legal agreement does surrogacy require in California?
California Family Code §7962 requires the gestational carrier and the intended parents to each be represented by separate, independent licensed attorneys before signing the agreement. The agreement must be notarized and state the source of the embryos, the identity of the intended parents, and how the intended parents will cover the medical expenses of the carrier and the newborn. No embryo transfer, and no injectable medication in preparation for it, may begin until the agreement is fully executed, and an agreement completed under this section allows the court to establish the intended parents’ parentage.
How should fertility costs fit into our financial plan?
Assisted reproduction can take several cycles over an extended period, and the cost depends on insurance coverage and the provider you choose, so we treat it as a spending goal with a timeline and rank it alongside a home purchase, education and retirement saving. Fertility benefits vary widely between employer health plans, so we usually ask you to confirm your plan’s terms first, then decide how much cash to set aside.
What should we update after the baby arrives?
After a birth, families usually need to revisit a few things: whether life insurance coverage is still enough, whether the trust and will include the new child and name a guardian, and whether to start saving for education. If the child was born through assisted reproduction or surrogacy, partner attorneys should confirm that parentage documents, the birth certificate and related records are complete.
