What is Gestational Surrogacy?

Gestational surrogacy involves partnering with a surrogate mother who – as a gestational carrier – is in no way biologically or genetically related to the child she is carrying. She is the provider of a nurturing environment in which the baby can grow throughout the gestational period. In other words, a traditional surrogate donates her own egg for the pregnancy, while a gestational surrogate does not.

When should you use a surrogate mother?

You might consider gestational surrogacy if:

  • A female partner cannot carry the pregnancy because her uterus has been removed due to cervical or uterine cancer, fibroids or endometriosis
  • A female partner has an intact uterus but cannot carry the pregnancy due to physical or emotional factors such as severe diabetes, depression or other
  • You’re a single male, or a gay couple utilizing a donor egg

  • Surrogacy in Georgia typically costs between $90,000 and $150,000 including all of the following:

    • Surrogate Compensation: $35,000 – $60,000

    • Agency Fees: $15,000 – $30,000

    • Legal Fees: $5,000 – $10,000

    • IVF & Medical: $20,000 – $30,000

    • Insurance & Misc.: $10,000 – $20,000

  • Many surrogates' existing insurance plans do not cover surrogate pregnancies. Intended parents often need to purchase additional or full-coverage maternity insurance, along with life and disability insurance for the surrogate. RBA partners with insurance experts to ensure full protection.

  • Here's a simplified overview of the gestational surrogacy process:

    • Screening: Intended parents and surrogates undergo medical and psychological evaluations.

    • Matching: Parents are matched with a surrogate, typically through an agency.

    • Legal Contracts: Independent attorneys draft a contract outlining roles, compensation, and expectations.

    • IVF & Transfer: RBA facilitates the embryo transfer. Once pregnancy is confirmed, prenatal care begins.

    • Birth & Parentage: With a pre-birth order in place, intended parents are listed on the birth certificate immediately.

  • Most intended parents begin their surrogacy journey in Georgia by working with a reputable surrogacy agency. These agencies guide you through every step, from matching with a qualified surrogate to coordinating important milestones like screening, legal contracts, and medical preparation.

    At RBA, we regularly collaborate with surrogacy agencies and experienced legal professionals to help guide patients through the process. Our team is here to support you every step of the way — from your initial consultation to embryo transfer and beyond.

    As you explore your options, be sure to choose an agency that is transparent, well-established, and familiar with Georgia’s legal landscape. With the right team in place, you can move forward with confidence.

  • Choosing the right surrogacy agency is an important part of the journey to parenthood. In Georgia, where surrogacy is legal and commonly practiced, it’s especially important to work with an agency that’s experienced and transparent. Look for professionals who are committed to supporting both intended parents and surrogates. Key qualities to consider include:

    • Thorough screening for gestational carriers, including medical and psychological evaluations

    • Clear communication about costs, timelines, and the matching process

    • Strong relationships with licensed fertility clinics and surrogacy attorneys

    • Comprehensive support services throughout the journey — not just during the match phase

    A trustworthy agency will offer clarity, compassion, and professionalism at every step — helping you feel confident as you move forward.
