Legislation

In Georgia, only gestational surrogacy is allowed, ensuring that the surrogate mother has no biological connection with the child. Surrogacy is permitted for legally married heterosexual intended parents who have been married for over a year. However, Georgia also offers flexibility for couples not legally married, provided they can demonstrate a relationship of over a year’s duration. Several sets of documents serve as proof for couples not legally married, including

  • the birth certificate of a shared child in cases of secondary infertility
  • proof of cohabitation for over a year through registration documents from the registry office or council tax
  • documentation from a medical center confirming IVF treatment over a year ago
  • evidence of a joint bank account opened at least a year before embarking on the surrogacy journey.

The birth certificate exclusively acknowledges the commissioning parents as the legal parents of the child, without mentioning of the surrogacy arrangement.

Certain documentation must undergo direct apostillation or legalization, while others require notarization before apostillation / legalization. It is crucial to adhere to specific notary wording, and the assistance of our coordinators involving an experienced local Georgian notary representative is recommended to ensure compliance with the acceptable standards.

Who Are the Surrogate Mothers?

Our surrogate mothers are carefully selected to ensure a safe and successful surrogacy journey. Meeting strict criteria, they are
  • aged between 22 and 38 
  • Must have at least one child of their own
  • They have no history of spontaneous abortion or miscarriage, ensuring a strong obstetric background.

Whether legally married or unmarried, we require married surrogates to obtain special consent from their husbands. This consent ensures support during the baby registration process should any legal necessities arise.
The obstetric history of our surrogates can be verified through Georgia’s general database, monitored by the Ministry of Healthcare. Our medical experts have access to this database, ensuring the accuracy of each surrogate’s history.

Upon expressing an interest in becoming a surrogate, candidates are evaluated to ensure they meet our criteria. A psychologist assesses their emotional stability and readiness for this significant commitment. Following a thorough medical checkup, only those who meet our standards are added to our active pool of surrogate mothers.

This rigorous and comprehensive process provides assurance to intended parents, guaranteeing that our surrogates are fully screened and prepared for a smooth and successful journey.

Comprehensive Medical Evaluation for Surrogate Mothers

At Infinite Surrogacy, we are strongly convinced, that a thorough medical checkup is vital to surrogacy process. It ensures that our surrogate mothers are in optimal health, capable of carrying a pregnancy to full term, and safeguarding the health of the baby. Equally important is the well-being of the surrogate mother herself; we are committed to ensuring she remains healthy after fulfilling her responsibilities to the intended parents. This careful evaluation provides peace of mind and security throughout the journey for all parties involved.

Surrogate Mother Assignment

Once embryos are created or delivered to our clinic, we are ready to assign a surrogate mother to the intended parents. We begin her preparation, closely monitoring progress, including endometrial readiness on day 13. At this stage, our doctor assesses that the endometrial lining is satisfactory, progesterone levels are optimal, and the uterus is well-prepared, indicating readiness for embryo transfer within 5-7 days.

At this optimal point, we introduce the surrogate mother to the intended parents by sharing her profile and photo, and offer a video conversation if desired. After the intended parents confirm their approval, we initiate the embryo transfer.

This approach ensures a stress-free experience for intended parents, as the likelihood of needing to change the surrogate mother at this stage is minimal. Sharing the surrogate profile too early may lead to emotional attachment, only to face the possibility of medical setbacks. Our method prioritizes both emotional ease and medical readiness.

Surrogate Mothers’ Care

During pregnancy, our surrogate mothers remain with their families, who provide essential emotional support and stability. This nurturing environment, surrounded by loved ones, is crucial for their well-being, making it more successful than housing them separately.

Each surrogate mother is assigned pregnancy care doctors and coordinators. They receive guidance on nutrition at specific stages, the importance of medication, and vitamin supplements— all of which are provided by us. Our team ensures they attend medical appointments punctually.

Intended parents can maintain contact with surrogate mothers if desired. While language barriers exist, translation apps facilitate communication. Our dedicated coordinators are always ready to arrange these conversations.
Around the 24th week of pregnancy, intended parents have the opportunity to visit Georgia, attend an ultrasound, and spend time with the surrogate mother. This visit is optional, primarily for those who wish for a more personal connection, as it is not a legal or medical necessity until the birth of the baby.
