Eggceptional Fertility is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy and egg donation agency based in Dalton, Georgia. It began in 2008 as Eggceptional Donor Group, an egg donation program. According to its website, the agency later developed Eggceptional Surrogates at its clients' request, expanding into surrogacy for domestic and international intended parents, after which the two entities were combined under the single name Eggceptional Fertility. The business is still listed under all three names in some records.
The agency was founded by Jennifer Ingle, who is described as a former egg donor and who remains its owner and executive director. It operates as a small team, with roles that include a surrogacy coordinator alongside the founder.
Eggceptional works with intended parents who are single or partnered, including LGBTQ+ parents, and with intended parents living outside the United States. Its program covers both egg donor and gestational surrogate matching, along with screening and coordination, and the agency says it provides legal and social-work support through the process. On the donor side, the agency maintains a donor database that intended parents review when choosing a match.
Surrogates applying to the program are expected to live in a U.S. state where surrogacy arrangements are workable, and the agency does not state a citizenship or immigration-status requirement. It does not work with surrogates living outside the United States. Its age, health, prior-pregnancy and smoking requirements, along with fee and compensation information, appear in the tables below.
The agency is listed in the Men Having Babies Surrogacy Advisor provider directory and is a member of the Dalton-Whitfield Chamber of Commerce. It has a Better Business Bureau file, with accreditation and rating details shown below.
