Adoption and IVF

Becoming a parent is, for some, not straightforward. Let us guide you through the process.

Having a child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

Unfortunately, some couples may have trouble conceiving for medical reasons, and same-sex couples still face significant legal hurdles in becoming parents.

Additionally, some people may desperately want a child, but not be able to find a co-parent to share in that journey.

It is therefore imperative that you receive timely and correct legal advice about the “pathways” to parenthood available to you.

One of these pathways is adoption.

Adoption

Did you know, that in Western Australia, adoption offers the only legal pathway for male same-sex couples to become a child’s legal parents?

Artificial Conception Procedure (IVF):

IVF in Western Australia is available to single women, female homosexual couples and heterosexual couples who are unable to conceive for medical reasons, or who are at risk of conceiving a child with a genetic abnormality or disease.
