Join the American Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA) for a two-part training series on the Michigan Family Protection Act (MFPA). In the hour-long first session, we’ll explore the Assisted Reproduction provisions of the MFPA that impact parentage, offering insights that go beyond surrogacy to cover the full spectrum of family-building through ART. The second session will focus exclusively on surrogacy. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the MFPA, which is made up of nine individual bills, we strongly encourage participants to attend both sessions. 

Panelists include:

  • Polly Crozier – Director of Family Advocacy, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders
  • Angie Martell – Iglesia Martell Law Firm, PLLC and Colibri Institute of Social Justice
  • Megan Reynolds – Michigan Poverty Law Program, State Bar of Michigan Family Law Council
