An Introduction to Surrogacy in Georgia

Surrogacy is a reproductive method wherein a woman carries and gives birth to a child for another person or couple, known as the intended parents. This process is facilitated via assisted reproductive technologies, usually in vitro fertilization (IVF), involving the transfer of an embryo to the surrogate’s uterus.

In Georgia, surrogacy has emerged as a viable and popular option for those who have faced difficulties in natural conception. The country’s favorable legal environment, coupled with affordable medical procedures, has made surrogacy in Georgia an attractive proposition for intended parents worldwide.

The journey, however, is not without its complexities. The process involves legal, ethical, and medical considerations, necessitating careful navigation. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview of surrogacy in Georgia, aiding potential intended parents in making informed decisions.

Georgia’s Growing Popularity in Surrogacy

In recent years, Georgia has experienced a surge in the popularity of surrogacy. This growth can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, Georgia offers a favourable legal environment for surrogacy. Unlike some countries where surrogacy is heavily regulated or even prohibited, Georgia’s legislative framework is supportive of this reproductive method.

Secondly, the affordability of surrogacy procedures in Georgia is another major drawcard. Compared to countries like the United States, where surrogacy costs can exceed $100,000, Georgia offers a significantly more affordable alternative. This economic advantage has seen a steady influx of international intended parents seeking surrogacy services in Georgia.

Moreover, the quality of surrogacy services in Georgia is highly commendable. The country boasts a robust healthcare system with experienced medical professionals and state-of-the-art medical facilities. This ensures that both surrogates and intended parents receive the highest standard of care throughout the surrogacy process.

Regulatory Environment and Legal Framework

One of the most critical aspects of surrogacy in Georgia is the regulatory environment and legal framework. Georgia is one of the few countries where commercial surrogacy is legal, and the rights of intended parents are well-protected. This is largely due to the ‘Law on Health Care’ enacted in 1997, which legitimizes surrogacy as well as egg and sperm donation.

Under this law, the intended parents are recognized as the legal parents of the child from the moment of conception. The surrogate has no parental rights over the child, and her role is strictly limited to gestational carrier. This provides a considerable level of legal security to intended parents, which is not always the case in other jurisdictions.

However, it is essential for intended parents to engage the services of a reputable lawyer familiar with the intricacies of Georgian surrogacy law. This will ensure all legalities are properly addressed, and potential legal issues are preemptively managed.

The Diversity of Surrogacy Options in Georgia

The surrogacy landscape in Georgia is marked by its diversity. There are a variety of surrogacy arrangements available, catering to the unique needs and circumstances of intended parents. These include gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate carries an embryo created from the egg and sperm of the intended parents or donors.

Traditional surrogacy is less common but is also available in Georgia. In this arrangement, the surrogate is also the biological mother of the child, as her eggs are used in the creation of the embryo.

Regardless of the surrogacy method chosen, it is crucial for intended parents to work with a reputable surrogacy agency. An established agency will guide intended parents through every step of the surrogacy process, from matching with a suitable surrogate to managing the legal and medical aspects of the journey.

In conclusion, surrogacy in Georgia offers a promising route to parenthood for those who might otherwise struggle to realize this dream. With its favorable legal environment, affordable costs, and diverse surrogacy options, Georgia is firmly established as a leading destination for surrogacy. However, the path to surrogacy is a complex one, and intended parents should approach it with due diligence and the guidance of experienced professionals.
