DEDICATED TO FAMILIES
Oleaga Law, LLC is a boutique law firm dedicated to family formation.
Each family has it's own story.
​
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to family formation law.
My mission is to guide and protect you as you grow your family through assisted reproduction or adoption.
​
I am experienced in all aspects of family formation law, including:
Surrogacy
Egg Donation
Sperm Donation
Embryo Donation
Embryo Disposition
Prenuptial Agreements
Adoption
Stepparent Adoption
Second Parent Adoption
​
I exclusively focus on assisted reproduction, family formation, and reproductive rights.


JANENE OLEAGA, ESQ.
The ever-evolving legal landscape of assisted reproduction law.
​
I represent intended parents from the very start of their family planning journey through the birth of their child and beyond.
But my clients aren't only intended parents.
I also represent the gestational carriers, surrogates, egg donors, sperm donors, and embryo donors helping families fulfill their dreams of parenthood.
​
I attended Loyola University in Maryland before graduating from the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University with a concentration in International Law. This expertise has uniquely positioned me to represent clients involved in international surrogacy arrangements. I am licensed to practice law in Maine, New Hampshire, and New York.
​
More than just an assisted reproduction attorney.
​
Pro-family advocacy will always be my passion. I testified at the Maine legislature in support of LD 1539: An Act to Provide Access to Fertility Care. Thanks to the individuals and organizations who supported this bill, insurance coverage for Mainers seeking fertility treatments will begin January 1, 2024. I also testify every year with RESOLVE in support of pro-family legislation at the federal level.
I have been a legal resource to:
Out Magazine, SHAPE Magazine, Above the Law, Good Housekeeping, Kindbody, Legal Zoom, Flo Health, Equality Maine, Connecting Rainbows, and more.
​
I was awarded 40 Under 40 by Maine Business Journal in their inaugural class of 2022.
I received a SCORE award for my work in Maine, SCORE 2021 business awards,
and was featured in: On the Record: Janene Oleaga.
​
I am a proud member of the following organizations:
American Bar Association Reproductive Technology Committee and Adoption Committee
American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Legal Professional Group
New England Fertility Society
National LGBTQ+ Bar Foundation
Men Having Babies
Equality New York
Resolve New England
Resolve
New York State Bar Association
Maine State Bar Association
New Hampshire Bar Association
​
Before founding Oleaga Law LLC and exclusively providing family formation services, I practiced criminal defense in Memphis, Tennessee, volunteered with Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project (ILAP) in Portland, Maine, and served as the Secretary of the Board of Directors for MaineShare, a non-profit organization.
I began this practice for one reason:
to help grow and protect families.
Whether you are growing your family through assisted reproductive technology or adoption; whether you are working with a gestational carrier or planning conception with the assistance of an egg donor, sperm donor, or embryo donor; or whether you are exploring options for your embryos, I am here to advise and guide you.
