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.

Surrogacy Lawyer: Janene Oleaga

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.
