Looking for a North Charleston Surrogacy Attorney?
While an agency or full-service program is optional for your North Charleston surrogacy, an experienced surrogacy attorney is not. 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 North Charleston surrogacy journey.
They will also be responsible for:
- Confirm that your surrogacy plan meets local laws and regulations
- Draft, negotiate and finalize a legal surrogacy contract
- Establish the intended parents’ rights through necessary parentage orders
- And more
We will also help all gestational carriers obtain independent legal counsel, to avoid conflict of interest and further protect their rights and interests.
When you work with Southern Surrogacy, you can rest assured that every aspect of your journey will adhere to North Charleston surrogacy laws and regulations. The attorneys we refer to take great pride in what they do, and they will be honored to guide through your personal journey.

Looking for a North Charleston Surrogacy Clinic?
There’s one final professional you’re sure to need during your surrogacy in North Charleston: a surrogacy or fertility clinic.
A surrogacy clinic will complete all the important medical steps for creating a gestational surrogacy. This includes creating embryos through in vitro fertilization, screening both parties to confirm surrogacy eligibility, prescribing a surrogate fertility medication and then transferring the intended parents’ embryo to her uterus.
We know most intended parents have an existing relationship with a regional fertility clinic when they start their surrogacy in North Charleston. In most cases, that relationship can continue (intended parents must cover their surrogate’s travel and lodging costs, when necessary). After the pregnancy is confirmed, a surrogate will receive prenatal care from her local obstetrician and deliver at her local hospital.
