Becoming a Surrogate in Atlanta
The two women who founded Abundant Beginnings Co. (ABC Surrogacy) bring, between them, over 30 years of experience in surrogacy. Our professional know-how and the personal experience we’ve gathered walking beside surrogates put us in a strong position to give clear, warm guidance to women considering surrogacy in Atlanta.

ABC Surrogacy also works closely with attorneys who are well acquainted with how surrogacy is handled in Georgia, making sure each step goes smoothly and with genuine care for you.
Surrogacy is a deeply personal decision, and we never lose sight of that. Whether you’re only beginning to consider surrogacy in Atlanta or you already know you’re ready, we give you the resources and the personal attention to help you take the next step.

“In spite of the challenges I faced, this was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done…If you are considering surrogacy, I truly believe you are a special person… This was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.”
Why Be A Surrogate?
Becoming a surrogate involves big commitment, but ultimately brings the reward of helping create new families.
Compensation & Costs
A first-time surrogate in Atlanta can generally expect base compensation to fall between $60,000 and $70,000. That amount reflects the meaningful commitment you’re making, in body and in mind, along with the time and dedication the journey requires. Surrogates who have carried before are eligible for a higher base that recognizes their prior experience, and ABC is always glad to walk through the particulars with each applicant individually to meet your expectations. For experienced surrogates, that base often comes in $10,000 to $15,000 above a first-timer’s.
Additional Benefits
Beyond your base pay, surrogates in Atlanta receive reimbursements and stipends intended to cover pregnancy-related expenses and keep you comfortable throughout the journey. At Abundant Beginnings, the benefits we commonly provide include:
- Maternity Clothing Allowance: A set allowance toward maternity clothing and the other essentials that come with being pregnant.
- Medical Insurance: Comprehensive health coverage for prenatal care, delivery and postpartum recovery, generally set up or provided by the intended parents.
- Monthly Allowance: A monthly stipend that takes care of incidentals like parking at appointments, phone calls, meals or other minor expenses.
- Childcare and Travel Costs: Reimbursement for childcare when you attend medical visits, along with appointment travel such as fuel, lodging if you need it or other transportation.
- Additional Bonus: A $4,000 bonus provided once you reach medical and legal clearance, in recognition of the commitment you’re making right out of the gate.
With these added to base pay, many Atlanta surrogates arrive at a total package that reaches or surpasses $85,000, and experienced surrogates can earn more beyond that.
Health Insurance and Coverage
In Atlanta, arranging comprehensive health insurance to cover all of the pregnancy-related medical care is the responsibility of the intended parents. None of that care, from prenatal visits to the delivery to postpartum recovery, should cost you anything out of pocket. Any deductibles, copays or coverage gaps are reimbursed by the intended parents. And if surrogacy isn’t covered under your current policy, the intended parents will either arrange separate coverage or make sure nothing is left unpaid for you.
Peace of Mind for Everyone
Georgia doesn’t have a surrogacy-specific statute, but its courts have built up a long, well-established practice of issuing parentage orders that bring legal clarity and protection to surrogates and intended parents alike. When you partner with a trusted agency like Abundant Beginnings Co. (ABC Surrogacy), you can move forward with real confidence, assured that the financial support, medical care and legal guidance you deserve will be in place at each step. Our team’s aim is to keep your Atlanta surrogacy experience positive, safe and well supported from start to finish.
Atlanta Surrogate Requirements
Age Requirements
Generally, we work with surrogates who are 21 to 40 years old. That window helps confirm a candidate is physically ready for pregnancy while keeping overall health and lifestyle in view.
Healthy Lifestyle
We look for a Body Mass Index (BMI) in the 18 to 32 range, because a healthy weight lowers medical risk during pregnancy and helps keep the pregnancy safer for both of you.
Previous Healthy Pregnancy
Before you can become a surrogate, you’ll need to have carried at least one pregnancy to term without major complications. That experience demonstrates you can manage the physical side of pregnancy, and it equips you with the assurance and hands-on familiarity this journey asks for.
U.S Citizenship or Permanent Residency
You’ll need the right residency status too, as a United States citizen, a lawful permanent resident or a green card holder. If you’re a legal resident or an immigrant, your documentation should stay valid for at least two years so nothing legal disrupts the process along the way. Keeping your paperwork current also helps make sure you’re protected under Georgia’s process for establishing parentage.
Background Check
A background check rounds out our standard screening. It offers reassurance, to you, to the intended parents and to the agency, that no legal or ethical concern exists on your side or your partner’s that would get in the way of the surrogacy process.
Medical Screening
Each surrogate completes a comprehensive medical evaluation, both to confirm overall health and to spot anything that might raise risk during pregnancy. A psychological assessment goes along with it, confirming you’re emotionally ready for what surrogacy asks of you. Most of all, we want you feeling confident, informed and supported from the very beginning.
Legal Representation
In Atlanta, surrogates bring on their own attorney to review and finalize the gestational surrogacy agreement. Since Georgia has no surrogacy-specific statute, independent representation is especially important, and your attorney will look after your rights, guide you through how parentage gets established in court and see that you understand every part of the agreement. Abundant Beginnings is glad to refer you to seasoned attorneys who regularly handle Georgia surrogacy cases.
Surrogacy for LGBTQ+ Families
Inclusivity is a core value at Abundant Beginnings, and we offer the same opportunity to every aspiring surrogate, no matter the intended parents’ sexual orientation or marital status. Working with us as a surrogate in Atlanta may give you the chance to help build all kinds of families, including same-sex couples, single parents and other family structures that break from the traditional mold.
Each surrogacy journey is met with sensitivity, respect and professionalism, since we recognize that every family arrives with its own story and its own needs. Our aim is a genuinely welcoming space where every surrogate feels valued, well cared for and comfortable from the first day to the last.
When it comes to parentage orders, Georgia courts have been open to families of every configuration, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or marital status. Those orders anchor the birth certificate and parental-recognition process, letting LGBTQ+ families in Atlanta pursue surrogacy with confidence and security.
More than anything, we hope every surrogacy journey turns out to be genuinely rewarding for all involved. Partnering with Abundant Beginnings means joining a community that stands behind you, values your dedication and honors the families you’re helping bring into the world. We consider it a privilege to support you as we build loving, diverse families together right here in Atlanta.
