“…State laws regarding gestational surrogacy continue to develop and often require the carrier use none of her own genetic material to avoid potential legal issues regarding kinship and parentage rights. With the revision and amendment of the Uniform Parentage Act in 2000 and 2002, respectively, and the Model Assisted Reproductive Technologies Act (MARTA), the gestational carrier agreement, or consent form, received more legitimacy in legal disputes [95]. …”

Introduction Approximately 70,000 adolescent and young adults (AYA) are diagnosed with cancer each year. While advancements in treatment have led to improved prognosis and survival for patients, these same treatments can adversely affect AYA reproductive capacity. Localized treatments such as surgery and radiation therapy may affect fertility by removing or damaging reproductive organs, and systemic therapies such as chemotherapy can be toxic to gonads, (ovaries and testicles), thus affecting fertility and/or endocrine function. This can be traumatic for AYA with cancer as survivors often express desire to have genetic children and report feelings of regret or depression as a result of infertility caused by cancer treatments. Areas Covered Emerging technologies in the field of assisted reproductive technology offer new promise for preserving the reproductive capacity of AYA cancer patients prior to treatment as well as providing alternatives for survivors. The following review revisits contemporary approaches to fertility preservation as well newly developing technologies. Expert Commentary There are several advances in ART that hold promise for patients and survivors. However there are challenges that inhibit uptake including poor communication between providers and patients about risks and fertility preservation options; high costs; and lack of insurance coverage for fertility preservation services.

“…Finally, many legal barriers exist for same-sex couples who become parents through surrogacy. Only nine states recognize surrogacy contracts, grant pre-birth parentage orders that declare both intended parents as legal parents, and name both parents on the birth certificate; other states do not, resulting in difficulties for intended parents to be legally recognized as parents (Berkowitz, 2013;Carroll, 2015;Creative Family Connections, 2015;Spivack, 2010). 3 Although few legal barriers currently exist for LGBQ individuals who are interested in parenting, it has only been relatively recent that some of these barriers have fallen.…”

This article addresses how the law affects family formation among families with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) parents in the United States. Our discussion draws on a socio‐legal approach to law that focuses not only on the law on the books (what we refer to as “legal barriers”) but also on issues like how the law is practiced, how people experience the law in everyday life, and how the law serves as an interpretive framework through which people understand themselves and their families (what we refer to as “social barriers”). In our review, we highlight how attorneys can play a role in valuing and advancing rights for LGBQ‐parent families and LGBTQ prospective parents.
