Why Georgia Is A Great Place To Be A Surrogate
If you live in Georgia and are considering surrogacy, you’re in luck! Georgia has the reputation of being one of the most surrogacy-friendly states in the country, boasts a wide range of family-building resources, and is home to top-notch fertility centers.
Surrogacy is Legal in the state of Georgia
Georgia is a great location for a surrogacy journey, despite no state law or case law directly addressing surrogacy contracts in Georgia. Courts regularly establish parental rights for intended parents through a pre-birth court order, which declares the intended parents as the legal parents and directs the state of Georgia to create the child’s birth certificate listing both intended parents (or the single parent alone). In Georgia, the court process is typically seamless and everything is handled between the attorneys for the intended parents and for the gestational carrier. Surrogacy Attorney, Melissa Torto, our colleague at ConceiveAbilities, notes that while an in-person hearing is usually not required, this can vary by judge.
For couples who are turning to surrogacy to help grow their families, Atlanta not only offers renowned hospital care from centers including Emory Healthcare and Piedmont Healthcare, but is also home to the Atlanta Birth Center, a wonderful option for anyone who is looking for a safe and welcoming alternative to hospital birth. As the ninth largest and one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, Atlanta makes access to expert medical care and monitoring throughout your pregnancy readily available. Known for its southern hospitality and attention to family, the city also has a great surrogate sisterhood and network. Atlanta also boasts some of the best-in-class fertility clinics in the country, including:

Throughout the screening process, we will have gotten to know you well; toward the end of that process, we will interview you in detail to learn more about your values and expectations for your surrogacy journey. The principles we prioritize in Matching Matters are based on relationship compatibility, medical criteria of the intended parents’ clinic, reproductive choices, legal considerations, and other specifics requested by you as a surrogate, and the intended parents. Our experts take into account all aspects of the surrogacy process to thoroughly vet compatibility.
Unlike some other surrogacy agencies in Georgia who don’t show you parent profiles, we will present you with a curated, carefully vetted profile of potential intended parent matches, so you can learn about the family you choose to help. The result? The right match the first time, helping you move closer to your dream of helping a family build their family.
