Looking for an Augusta Surrogacy Attorney?
Surrogacy programs can’t provide legal guidance, instead referring their clients to third parties for this service.
We will refer you to an experienced attorney in this area of law. Rest assured that they know local laws and regulations like nobody else, and they will provide expert legal advice throughout your whole Augusta surrogacy journey.
They will also be responsible for:
- Confirming your surrogacy plan meets required regulations and procedures
- Drafting, negotiating and finalizing a surrogacy contract
- Establishing the intended parents’ rights through any necessary parentage orders
If you’re a prospective surrogate, your legal services will be provided free of cost to you, like the rest of your surrogacy services. We’ll also assist you in obtaining independent legal counsel, to avoid conflict of interest and further protect your rights and interests.

Looking for an Augusta Surrogacy Clinic?
There’s another professional you’ll need for your surrogacy in Augusta: a surrogacy clinic (otherwise known as a fertility clinic). While your clinic does not need to be located in or near Augusta, you will need to have an existing relationship with a clinic if you intend to build your family through surrogacy in Georgia.
Most of our intended parents have already undergone fertility treatments or created embryos with a regional surrogacy clinic. They can still work with that clinic for their Augusta surrogacy, but they must simply pay any travel or lodging costs their surrogate will require.
Your surrogacy clinic will be responsible for:
- Creating embryos through in vitro fertilization
- Screening both parties (if necessary) to confirm medical and psychological readiness for surrogacy
- Prescribing fertility medication to a surrogate and monitoring her menstrual cycle
- Transferring the intended parents’ embryo to her uterus
After the pregnancy has been confirmed, a surrogate will receive prenatal care from her local obstetrician and deliver at her local hospital.
If you are an intended parent and don’t have a Georgia surrogacy clinic in mind, please reach out to one of the following for more information:
- Augusta University Medical Center
- Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine
- Emory Reproductive Medicine
- Servy Massey Fertility Institute
- Shady Grove Fertility
This is not an extensive list of surrogacy clinics in the area. You can always contact our offices for more references or look at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s database.
No matter where you are in your Augusta surrogacy journey, Southern Surrogacy is always happy to help. We’re proud to have completed surrogacies in Georgia for decades, and we look forward to helping many more intended parents and gestational carriers in the years to come.
