Surrogacy Consultations

What is a Surrogacy Consultation?

Our Surrogacy Consultations are paid in-depth advice meetings. They typically last 1-2 hours, giving you all the space you need to discuss your personal situation, and are a freestanding advice service, separate from our UK and US Surrogacy Pathways. Surrogacy Consultations are available to intended parents who are based in the UK or are British living overseas.

One of our experienced client managers will help you cut through all the information available online in a safe and trusted space. If you are at the start of a surrogacy journey, we can give you a broad overview of the options available to you in the UK and internationally (both with and outside Brilliant Beginnings) and help you weigh the pros and cons according to your budget, preferences and particular circumstances. If you have a specific destination in mind, such as the US, we can explore key practicalities and look at the steps in that destination. We can also sense-check any research you have done, or address any key concerns you have.

How much does a Surrogacy Consultation cost?

Our Surrogacy Consultation is a paid advice meeting with one of our client managers. The cost is:

– £500 plus VAT (£600) for the meeting and a detailed personal advice letter, or

– £300 plus VAT (£360) for the meeting alone without any written advice.

If you would like to speak to us about our open UK or US Surrogacy Pathways, we also offer a free 30 minute call to discuss our services. Please do not book a Surrogacy Consultation via this page, but email us to arrange this.

Why trust Brilliant Beginnings?

We have unrivalled years of surrogacy experience having been involved, together with our sibling organisation NGA Law, in thousands of surrogacy arrangements in the UK and every international surrogacy destination.

We know the pitfalls, the process, the risks, the costs and the ethics of the different UK and international surrogacy options.

We are your trusted personal advisors, committed to helping you navigate safe, legal, ethical surrogacy, with a belt and braces approach to ensuring you are fully informed, well prepared and safe.

What our clients say to us…

From the very first meeting at your offices in London you made us feel completely at ease.

I had such a useful meeting with you, with lots of information in a comfortable and friendly environment.

We found our meeting extremely helpful. We covered a lot of ground and you gave us such a detailed overview of the potential paths ahead of us and how we might make a start. Thank you.

You were extremely knowledgeable about every facet of the process, giving us a lot of information and answering all of our many and varied questions!

I have a friend who would like to go through the [US surrogacy] journey we did. I shared with her our wonderful experience with you and your team, and how safe and guided we felt.

We felt safe in your hands – always professional with a rich wealth of knowledge we would have been lost without.

Thanks again for all your support and guidance, and getting us to where we are. We are very appreciative and it’s been lovely getting to know you.

We didn’t know where to start, but it was so reassuring to sit down with the team and know we had everything covered.

Want legal advice on surrogacy?

Brilliant Beginnings does not provide legal advice. If you have questions about your legal position or would like specific legal advice on a UK or international surrogacy scenario, our sibling organisation NGA Law can help. NGA Law is the UK’s most experienced surrogacy law firm, and offers legal advice meetings to discuss the UK law issues associated with UK and international surrogacy
