Looking for an Augusta Surrogacy Attorney?
Many surrogacy agencies require you to outsource your legal guidance during your Augusta surrogacy process. But Southern Surrogacy makes it easy; you’ll be provided access to our experienced, in-house surrogacy attorneys from the moment you start working with us.
Because we’re a law-firm-owned program, our in-house attorneys come from our partner law firm, Claiborne|Fox|Bradley|Goldman. These attorneys have been working in Georgia surrogacy law for years, and they’ve helped many clients safely reach their surrogacy goals. They’re happy to do the same for our intended parents, by:

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
Please note this is not an extensive list of regional surrogacy clinics. When you contact our offices, we can provide more referrals and help you determine which might be right for you.
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.
