Georgia is one of the few countries in Europe where surrogacy is legal and regulated by law.
Advantages of the surrogacy programme in Georgia:
- the rights and obligations of the child's biological parents and the surrogate mother are clearly regulated by law
- Georgian surrogacy laws do not contain any strict requirements, restrictions or prohibitions
- after the birth of a child, the biological parents immediately receive a birth certificate. There is no need to go through the adoption process or obtain any other court orders
- the surrogate mother has no parental rights in relation to the child born
- the law sets out clear criteria that a surrogate mother must meet, including medical and psychological aspects
- surrogacy is available to foreigners
- commercial (paid) surrogacy and altruistic (non-commercial) surrogacy are allowed
- clinics that have the right to use surrogacy must obtain a special state licence
Requirements for intended parents to complete the programme in Georgia
- Medical indications for applying for the programme
- Officially registered heterosexual marriage
No additional permits are required.
Program Types
Depending on your needs, there are three types of surrogacy programmes:
Surrogacy from own reproductive cells
A program for couples, provided that the woman's and man's bodies are able to produce eggs and sperm of the required quality. But a woman cannot get pregnant, bear and give birth to a child for medical reasons.
Surrogacy with donor eggs or sperm
A program for couples suffering from diseases of the reproductive system that cause female or male infertility.
Surrogacy with frozen embryos (FET)
The program is for couples who already have created embryos of good quality. But the woman at the time of entering the program has medical indications for surrogacy.
If you need a program with a donor egg, the clinic will provide access to its own donor database. By using the clinic's database, you are guaranteed that the donors:
- have undergone a full medical examination
- have confirmed fertility
- have excellent physical and psychological health
- are between the ages of 18 and 30
In the donor database, you will find the following information about the donor:
- weight and height
- eye colour
- hair colour and type
- blood type and Rh factor
- education
- photo of the donor
Another advantage of Georgia is that future parents have access to photos of donors both as children and adults.
Sometimes, for intended parents, this is critical.
