Following our publication of the popular “Documents Required When Returning To Ireland With A Newborn Baby” earlier this year, we have recently been in correspondence with the Chief State Solicitors’ Office and received an updated list of the documents which need to be presented on your return.
To access this list, please visit our Surrogacy Resources section and download an updated copy for your records.
As this is an extensive list and quite onerous in nature, please feel free to get in touch with the Surrogacy & Fertility law team at Poe Kiely Hogan Lanigan if anything on this list is unclear or you would like to discuss any aspects of your surrogacy journey.
Annette has exclusively practised family law in the litigation department for the past 10 years and heads up the firm's Surrogacy & Fertility law team.
She is highly respected and regarded for her expertise and knowledge of fertility law, surrogacy and same-sex family matters. Diligent, thorough and empathetic, Annette brings a wealth of experience, sensitivity and understanding to our team.

"Annette, Ger and her team were the calm oasis of advice, encouragement and legal clarity that helped us at every crucial stage, to realise our dream of bringing our precious baby home. The energy, pace and sense of urgency with which Annette drove our case for completion through the courts was breathtaking and we will forever be grateful for her support in safely guiding our family from our dream of becoming parents again to the reality holding baby in our arms."
