Surrogacy and Local Law
Georgia currently enjoys some of the most favorable surrogacy laws in the world, making it a top international destination for reproductive tourism. Notably, surrogacy, as well as egg and sperm donation have been legal in Georgia since 1997.
One of the few restrictions to the liberal and permissive surrogacy legislation in Georgia is the requirement that prospective parents be married or in a domestic partnership for at least one year. Additionally, a surrogate cannot simultaneously serve as an egg donor for the same pregnancy. However, the use of donor materials from other women is permitted in surrogacy programs.
As per the terms of the surrogacy contract signed prior to the procedure, the intended parents are legally recognized as the child’s parents upon the baby’s arrival. The process of obtaining legal documents is streamlined and efficient. The registration typically takes about a week, and requires a contract between the intended parents and the surrogate mother, a certificate from the IVF clinic verifying the embryo transfer to the surrogate, and a certificate from the maternity hospital attesting to the birth of the child.
If you choose to pursue surrogacy in Georgia, SILK Medical will assist you with all of the necessary paperwork. The clinic’s legal team will help you navigate the legal process and ensure that all of your rights are protected.
