Friends Of CFC Legal Defence Update

Feb. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Thank you for your continuing support of Leia Picard and Canadian Fertility Consultants. On Friday, February 15, Leia and CFC were charged with offences under the Criminal Code and the Assisted Human Reproduction Act. Leia and CFC will defend the charges vigorously. CFC will continue to offer matching and consulting services to people seeking to build their families.

Leia and her legal team will be fighting not only to protect her reputation and business but also to ensure that the law governing the assisted-reproduction industry is clear and fair. The government has unlimited resources for its prosecution. We're asking for donations to level the playing field in this fight. Visit www.friendsofcfc.com to contribute to Leia’s defence. Please also help us raise awareness in the community by forwarding this message to others.

About Friends Of CFC

Please help support Leia Picard and Canadian Fertility Consultants at this critical time!

Leia's been involved in the fertility world for the past seven years.  She's been an egg donor, a surrogate, and a fertility consultant.   The path to parenthood can be long and difficult.  Leia often talks about how much it means to her to be able to help so many amazing people become parents.   She's been there for many births, and has helped many intended parents  build their family, whether it be through egg donation, or gestational surrogacy.  

She's dedicated herself to helping intended parents navigate the complex and often unclear laws around alternative family-building options.   She's the last person you'd expect to be the subject of an RCMP investigation.  She's devastated, she's scared, but she's committed to defending whatever allegations they make against her.
