Who we are
Brilliant Beginnings is a non-profit professional surrogacy agency based in the UK and dedicated to ethical surrogacy. Passionate advocates of our community, we have a long history of creating change to make families possible.
Our approach
We are dedicated to ethical surrogacy based on strong relationships, honesty and transparency.
Working for over a decade alongside the UK’s leading surrogacy law firm NGA Law, we are known for making change by pushing boundaries in a gentle positive way.
We work with intended parents who are based in the UK and overseas and we are non-profit, which means only our costs are charged to intended parents.
We have always sought to set the highest standard for ethical surrogacy, innovating and applying a belt and braces approach. We guide our teams with exceptional care to keep everyone safe and to safeguard the child at the heart of every surrogacy journey.
Our story
Our founders are Helen Prosser and Natalie Gamble, whose long experience as surrogacy experts with NGA Law had made them acutely aware of the vulnerability of informal UK surrogacy arrangements and the difficulties experienced by UK parents going overseas for surrogacy. They wanted to provide professional support which would enable safe ethical surrogacy.
They founded Brilliant Beginnings in 2013 to offer a fully-managed surrogacy service for the first time in the UK, to show what professionally-regulated safe surrogacy might look like, and to help discerning clients access the best of international surrogacy. Their vision was to underpin the relationship-based ethos of UK surrogacy with stronger safeguards, and to help UK parents navigate ethical international surrogacy more smoothly.
Our team
We have grown into an established, close-knit and passionate team. Adamant about setting the highest standard for UK and international surrogacy, we deliver our service with integrity, care and kindess.
