Why Brilliant Beginnings and NGA Law?

We have supported parents building families through US surrogacy for more than 15 years, and are dedicated to promoting safe, ethical, legal surrogacy.

We work with a range of leading US professionals, offering trusted independent advice.

Our experience is unrivalled. NGA Law represented the very first UK parents through international surrogacy in 2008, and has been at the forefront of shaping UK surrogacy law ever since. We have represented parents in nearly a third of all the parental order applications ever made following US surrogacy.

Brilliant Beginnings was founded in 2013 by NGA Law’s directors to provide the additional practical support our clients also desperately needed with navigating all the complexities and costs of US surrogacy, with a clear mission to stay independent, keep parents safe and ensure surrogacy was managed ethically.

“There are no words that can express our depth of gratitude for your expert help, kindness, patience and support in bringing our baby into the world. The people and organisations you have introduced us to, and your advice, has been exceptional. We can’t imagine how it would have been without Brilliant Beginnings and NGA.”  – Parents through US surrogacy
