How Jim Thompson Can Be Your Mount Pleasant Surrogacy Attorney

Whether or not you choose to work with one of the surrogacy agencies in Mount Pleasant and throughout South Carolina, intended parents and gestational carriers will always need to work with separate legal counsel  to safely and legally complete your journey. If the gestational carrier or indented parent resides in or near the Mount Pleasant area, they may benefit from having a Mount Pleasant surrogacy attorney represent them.

This is where Palmetto Surrogacy is different from other surrogacy programs in the area. Unlike surrogacy agencies in Mount Pleasant, our program retains experienced legal staff — led by attorney Jim Thompson. As an intended parent, you won’t need to seek out an additional legal professional if you work with our program; your legal requirements will be covered from the very beginning. As a gestational carrier using our program, you will be provided referral information for separate legal representation, at no cost to you.

Even if you choose to complete an independent surrogacy, our Mount Pleasant surrogacy attorney Jim Thompson can provide all of the legal assistance you need, including:

  • Evaluating your surrogacy plan for legal issues and complications
  • Drafting or reviewing and finalizing your surrogacy contract
  • Establishing intended parents’ parental rights and terminating the gestational carrier’s presumed parental rights
  • And providing other legal counsel throughout your surrogacy journey

Remember: You will always need a South Carolina attorney for your Mount Pleasant surrogacy journey, if the child will be born in South Carolina. Call our law offices today at 864-573-5533, selecting option 2 for more information on our legal services for intended parents and gestational carriers.

Surrogacy Clinics in Mount Pleasant

One of the more complicated aspects of any Mount Pleasant surrogacy journey is the medical process involved. You probably know that conceiving through gestational surrogacy involves a lot more than conceiving in the “traditional” way, which is why an expert medical professional has to guide you through these steps.

If you’re an intended parent, you probably already have an existing relationship with a fertility clinic in the area. In most cases, you can use that clinic for your Mount Pleasant surrogacy. You will simply need to be prepared to cover your surrogate’s travel costs back and forth to your clinic for the early stages of the medical process.

Hospitals in Mount Pleasant

Finally, a gestational carrier will need to choose a local obstetrician and hospital at which to receive medical care during her pregnancy. While she will undergo her fertility medical protocol and the embryo transfer procedure at her intended parents’ fertility clinic, for convenience and ease, she will typically receive all of her prenatal care from a local medical professional.

If you are a gestational carrier pursuing surrogacy in Mount Pleasant with our program, you will typically work with intended parents who also live in South Carolina. This means they will be close enough to be a part of your childbirth experience and to see their child be brought into the world. Late in your pregnancy, you will create a hospital plan with them and a law firm social worker detailing what this experience will be like, including the hospital you plan to deliver in.
