Eggceptional Fertility, which also operates under the name Eggceptional Surrogates, is a full-service surrogacy and egg donation agency based in Dalton, Georgia. According to the agency, it began in 2008 as Eggceptional Donor Group, later added Eggceptional Surrogates, and eventually combined the two brands under the Eggceptional Fertility name. It is a for-profit business with a small team of roughly five people.
The agency is owner-operated. Jennifer Ingle is listed as owner and executive director on the agency's website and appears as the business's principal on its Better Business Bureau profile and in third-party provider directories. No change in ownership has accompanied the rebranding.
Eggceptional works with both intended parents and the donors and gestational surrogates who help them build families. The agency says it serves domestic and international intended parents, and it works with LGBTQ+ and single intended parents. Because it runs both an egg donation program and a surrogacy program, intended parents who need a donor and a gestational carrier can coordinate both through the same office. As a full-service agency, it handles matching and case coordination and publishes its fee structure; its agency fee, surrogate compensation ranges and the requirements it sets for surrogate applicants are summarized in the tables below, along with the states from which it does not accept surrogate applicants.
The agency is listed as a provider in the Men Having Babies Surrogacy Advisor directory, including that organization's membership benefits discount program, and it appears in the Greater Dalton Chamber of Commerce member directory. Its Better Business Bureau file, opened in 2023 with the BBB of Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia, is not accredited and carries no rating.
