Surrogacy Lawyer Brisbane

Sarah Jefford is a surrogacy lawyer, assisting people in Brisbane and across Australia.  Sarah is the only lawyer in Australia practising exclusively in surrogacy and donor conception, or ‘family creation’ law. Sarah has been a surrogacy lawyer for many surrogacy arrangements in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswich and North Lakes, Far North Queensland and across Queensland.

Sarah was an IVF mum, and became an egg donor and a surrogate, delivering a baby for two dads in 2018. If you are entering into a surrogacy or donor arrangement in Queensland, Sarah can provide assistance to the intended parents or the surrogate and their partner including all advice, drafting the agreement and parentage orders.

If you are new to surrogacy, you can read about how to find a surrogate, or how to become a surrogate yourself. You can also download the free Surrogacy Handbook which explains the processes and options.
