Surrogacy Lawyer Newcastle

Sarah Jefford is a surrogacy lawyer assisting people in Newcastle, across New South Wales and around Australia. Sarah is the only lawyer in Australia practising exclusively in surrogacy and donor conception, or ‘family creation’ law. More than a third of Sarah’s clients live in New South Wales, and she practices across all states from her home in Melbourne.

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 New South Wales, 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.

You can also purchase my book, More Than Just a Baby: A Guide to Surrogacy for Intended Parents and Surrogates, the only guide to surrogacy in Australia.

All consults can be completed over Zoom and phone during the daytime or evening.
