• Established Clinics: Georgia is home to reputable fertility centers and experienced professionals, offering high-quality IVF services and attentive prenatal care.
• Efficient Process: With a structured legal system and experienced agencies, the entire journey—from matching to the baby’s birth—can be completed in 12 to 15 months.
