October 17, 2009 Circle Surrogacy, one of the oldest and most experienced surrogacy agencies in the USA, offered today an informational surrogacy seminar in Atlanta, Georgia. The seminar was co-sponsored by the MEGA Family Project. The seminar featured a presentation by a surrogate mom from Tennessee who delivered a baby for an Israeli couple, a gay parent who had his child through surrogacy, legal advice from a Georgian surrogacy lawyer, along with information from MEGA Family Project's executive director ans Circle's president John Weltman. Several new programs were presented by John Weltman, including the "Guaranteed Baby" plan and innovative egg donation arrangements that make the process more affordable for parents, without any compromise on quality and pregnancy rates. "We can now offer prospective parents the optimal combination of reasonable costs, extremely high certainty of success, minimal legal and medical risks, and proud and reliable surrogates," said John.
