Please join us for this unique seminar about parenting options through surrogacy for residents of Georgia and other south-east states. We are presenting this seminar as a response to the growing interest in surrogacy among both gay and heterosexual couples and singles, and given the many new developments in the field. The program will include a presentation by a surrogate from Tennessee (also the mother of four herself!), a parent through surrogacy, along with legal and practical advice from John Weltman, the president and founder of Circle Surrogacy. For the first time we will present several new programs, 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.

Circle Surrogacy has been helping couples and singles have children through surrogacy for more than 13 years, including a growing number of families from the south. Our philosophy is to facilitate a circle of families who help create new families. The surrogate mothers who get accepted to our program (only about 1 out of every 30 applicants) are highly suitable and motivated to help our intended parents have children, and we assure that their spouses are also completely aboard with this endeavor. We also screen our intended parents and make sure that they are willing to treat the egg donors (who sometimes are friends or family members) and surrogate mothers with the full respect and appreciation they deserve. Most of the people working at Circle are either parents through surrogacy, or former surrogates or egg donors themselves. We are proud of how we created our families, and are motivated to help others fulfill their dreams as well.

The seminar is expected to last about two hours. Individual consultations can also be scheduled for prospective parents who would like to further explore these options with Circle's representatives while they are in Atlanta.
