At Mary Molloy & Company Solicitors, we specialise in international surrogacy matters, offering comprehensive legal services to clients in Dublin and across Ireland. Surrogacy is often the final step for individuals and couples who have faced significant challenges with conception, and our goal is to help you bring your baby home to Dublin and begin your family life with peace of mind.

Surrogacy in Ireland remains legally complex, as there is no dedicated legislation in place. This makes obtaining legal parenthood a daunting process for many families. Our experienced Dublin surrogacy solicitors are here to guide you through every stage, from choosing a destination clinic to completing court applications on your return to Ireland.

Legal Counsel for Surrogacy 

Before beginning your surrogacy journey, it is vital to seek specialist legal advice. At your initial consultation, we will assess your circumstances and provide clear guidance on Irish surrogacy law, parental rights, and the requirements for reuniting with your baby in Dublin. We aim to answer all of your questions so you can embark on this journey with confidence.

Choosing a Surrogacy Destination

Selecting the right clinic or country is a deeply personal decision. Many of our Dublin-based clients choose destinations based on comfort, communication, and reputation. Your chosen clinic will be your main point of contact throughout the pregnancy, and we will liaise with them and your international lawyer to ensure the legal process runs smoothly.

Surrogacy Agreements

A surrogacy agreement is one of the most important steps in the process. This agreement — between the intended parents, the surrogate, and the clinic — must be finalised before embryo transfer. We will review or assist with agreements to ensure your rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined and legally protected.

Preparations for Arrival

As your baby’s due date approaches, our Dublin surrogacy solicitors will prepare all necessary paperwork well in advance. We work closely with the clinic and your foreign legal team to ensure everything is ready for a seamless return home with your child.

Exit Strategy

Because a baby’s arrival is unpredictable, we advise our Dublin clients to be travel-ready as the due date approaches. Our team will support you throughout this stage, ensuring your exit from the birth country is stress-free and you can focus on welcoming your new arrival.

Court Applications in Ireland

Once you return to Dublin, we will promptly prepare and file all necessary applications to confirm your legal parentage, guardianship, and custody rights. Our objective is to resolve these matters quickly and efficiently, minimising disruption to your new family life.
