Modern Family Law in action

Legal Solutions for Growing Families

Modern Family Law

Since 2016, Bruce Hale worked to implement new parentage laws to address the specific needs of children born through assisted reproduction and their families.  In the 2023-2024 legislative session, we support An Act to Ensure Legal Parentage Equality (HD.2348 and SD.1088).  To date, we have found this proposed legislation to have strong bi-partisan support in the legislature.  Bruce will continue to advocate for meaningful change in this area.  Keep up to date with this important work on the website www.massparentage.org.


Bruce Hale was part of the team that put together the International Surrogacy Forum 2019, held at the University of Cambridge in June 2019.  This 2-day event was extremely well received by the delegates who attended, and is expected to have a lasting contribution to the ongoing worldwide discussion about surrogacy.  Bruce is speaking at the second International Surrogacy Forum, June 2023 in Copenhagen.   


The American Bar Association, one of the largest groups of lawyers, has adopted a position on international surrogacy arrangements.  Bruce Hale was one of the principal drafters of this position (along with Stephen Page), which protects children through stability of parentage determinations while upholding the reproductive rights of the adults involved.  The position helps to inform the US Department of State as it works with the Hague Conference on Private International Law to explore options for regulating international surrogacy.  To see the resolution approved by the ABA, click here (PDF).
