Yes, surrogacy has been legally regulated in Georgia since 1997. The country's Health Law explicitly allows both altruistic and commercial surrogacy arrangements, making it one of the few destinations worldwide with clear, supportive legislation for intended parents of all backgrounds.
Georgia welcomes all intended parents regardless of marital status, gender, or nationality. Heterosexual couples, single parents, and same-sex couples can all pursue surrogacy here. There are no restrictions based on your country of origin, though some documentation requirements may vary.
From initial consultation to bringing your baby home, the process typically takes 15 to 18 months. This includes matching with a surrogate, medical screenings, IVF cycles, pregnancy, delivery, and obtaining all legal documents for your return home. Timelines can vary based on individual circumstances.
The intended parents' names appear on the birth certificate, not the surrogate's. Georgian law recognizes the intended parents as the sole legal parents from birth, and the birth certificate is issued within 24-48 hours after delivery with only your names on it.
Birth certificates are typically issued within 24 to 48 hours after birth. This is one of the fastest turnaround times in the world for surrogacy arrangements, allowing families to begin their journey home without lengthy administrative delays.
Under Georgian law, the surrogate has no parental rights after delivery. She is not listed on the birth certificate and has no legal claim to the child. All parties sign comprehensive legal agreements before the medical process begins, fully protecting the intended parents' rights.

Third generation IVF (PGT) adds genetic screening to test embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer, significantly improving success rates for couples with genetic concerns or recurrent implantation failure.
Yes, gender selection is legally permitted in Georgia through Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). This allows intended parents to choose the sex of their embryo before transfer for family balancing purposes. The procedure is performed in our partner clinics with high accuracy rates.
Unused embryos can be frozen and stored for future use at our partner clinics. Storage fees are affordable, and embryos can be preserved for several years. You may also choose to donate them for research or to other couples, or have them disposed of according to clinic protocols and your preferences.
Most intended parents make 2-3 trips. The first trip is for initial consultations and to provide genetic material (sperm/eggs). The second trip is for the delivery and to complete legal documentation. Some parents also visit during pregnancy for ultrasound appointments, though this is optional.
