Legal Advice for Surrogates

Here at the Family Village, we act for surrogates too!

Like intended parents, it is necessary for surrogates to also obtain legal advice prior to entering into surrogacy arrangements. These costs are paid by the intended parents if you are already part of a surrogacy team.

How we can help

Legal advice for surrogacy arrangements includes a consultation, negotiating a surrogacy agreement (which is usually drafted by the intended parents lawyer), and providing you with a written advice. Katie offers fixed-fee services, so you do not need to worry about fees accumulating by the minute or hour.

If you are not yet part of a surrogacy team and just want to have a chat about whether surrogacy is right for you, you can book a free initial consultation with Sally (our resident surrogate) or Katie (our lawyer) to talk through your options and see if surrogacy is something you want to pursue.

Appointments can be made by using the link below or emailing us at hello@thefamilyvillage.com.au

About The Family Village

The Family Village was founded by our leading Lawyer, Katie. Katie navigated her way through many years of IVF treatments (both the ups and the downs) to create her family. Unfortunately, after the birth of her second child, carrying her own children was no longer an option. Together with her husband, she went on a 5-year journey to find a surrogate. Their precious son Vinnie was born via surrogacy in 2022.
With a passion to assist and support others through their journey in creating a family, Katie established The Family Village. With 16 years legal experience, Katie provides legal advice and services, education, support and guidance to those on their journey to create a family, particularly in surrogacy arrangements.
Katie and her surrogate Sally, work side by side at The Family Village to support surrogates and intended parents alike. They have the benefit of walking in your shoes, from both sides of the story, which is a valuable asset.
