The Family Act Bill needs your HELP

Take Action…help get the Family Act Bill passed

The Family Act creates a federal tax credit for infertile patients to help them with their family building efforts. The credit would be based on 50% of out of pocket costs associated with IVF up to a lifetime max of $13,360. The credit is also available to those pursuing fertility preservation treatments due to a cancer diagnosis. The legislation is modeled after the adoption tax credit in place since 1997. Our goal is to demonstrate enough support so that the Family Act can be passed along with the adoption tax credit reauthorization.

Are you currently on a Surrogacy Journey? Or about to begin one?….Is your money safe?

Are you currently on a Surrogacy Journey? Or about to begin one?….Is your money safe?

One thing you MUST know for sure……“Is Your Money Safe?”

This is VERY, VERY IMPORTANT…why?

The money needed for your surrogacy arrangement goes towards paying the various professionals, medications, compensation for your Surrogate Mother and much more. For most Couples, this is their life’s savings. What would happen if during this process you discover your funds have been stolen by the agency or misappropriated? This is why it’s imperative that your money goes to a trusted professional who will account for all expenses and ensure that everyone is paid. The surrogacy agency you hire should work with an independent attorney or entity who can open a surrogacy trust account for your arrangement.

The reason Building Families, Inc. recommends using a lawyer is because in California, lawyers are licensed by the State Bar. They are required by law to keep accurate accounting records of all funds held in their trust account. Their license to practice law could be taken from them if they mismanage their client’s money. Their license is their livelihood. An attorney would never risk their license as it would mean an end to their career.
