Surrogacy Services

What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is the process of hiring another woman's womb to carry the pregnancy for the intended parents. Surrogacy is recommended to those who are unable to conceive naturally due to some medical reasons including multiple miscarriages, the absence of the womb or multiple failed IVF attempts, etc. Surrogacy is also the only option to singles, Homosexual couples or Transgender for parenting.

Surrogacy services

Surrogacy services require a complete medical, legal, financial and emotional support system for uniform management of both intended parents and surrogates. Surrogacy services involve:

Screening & matching

Screening and matching are conducted depending upon the surrogacy goal of intended parents and surrogates. A mutual matching process is a primary intention for surrogacy service providers.

Counselling & support

Surrogacy is a complex emotional experience ranging from hope, excitement, stress, and doubt. Building a positive relationship between surrogates and intended parents is essential to continue the process. Surrogacy services continuously counsel both parties to facilitate and maintain a positive relationship and provide a proper support system wherever required.

Education and coordination

The detailed knowledge about the surrogacy process is very essential, especially for naive surrogates and intended parents. Professional experts of surrogacy service providing agencies give detailed knowledge about surrogacy and also oversee the whole process for better coordination.

Legal services

A vast legal work is required to conduct surrogacy. Surrogacy service providers are also taking care of the country-specific legal documentation for ethical acceptance of the surrogacy procedures, which include consent and relinquishment, second-parent adoption, etc.

Medical services

Fertility treatment, IVF process, prenatal care, and child delivery are different stages that require medical services. Surrogacy services take care of individual client-related medical help.

Financial management

Surrogacy is an expensive procedure for intended parents. It involves financial compensation for surrogates. Surrogacy services usually manage the financial expenses fairly by providing the fee schedule and an escrow account for a transaction between intended parents and surrogates and provide financial protection for both the parties.

Surrogacy process

  • First we clear all legal and health issues between surrogate and biological parents after that we match the cycle of the surrogate and biological mother/egg donor.
  • Surrogate mothers play a role to carry a baby in her womb from embryo transfer to delivery. There is no genetic relation between baby and surrogate, the baby carries the genetic material of the intended parents or gamete donor.
  • It is the same as an IVF process difference is only that we transfer embryos in the surrogate uterus instead of the intended mother. Once the pregnancy is confirmed the surrogate is monitored regularly by the clinic and dedicated coordinator.
  • Surrogate mother visit to the hospital/clinic for a regular/routine checkup to ensure a healthy and safe pregnancy. process2

How does the IVF surrogacy with or without donor begins and how are the rights of the Intended parents are protected?

The first step in the surrogacy method; This process begins with the pre-tests of the couple in need of applying to our center.

Then, the process of egg preparation is started with the IVF treatment of the biological mother, which lasts 10-12 days.

Upon completion of the preparation of the eggs, egg collection is carried out in our center in Georgia. On the same day, the sperm obtained from the father is fertilized in the laboratory and the embryos obtained are transferred to the carrier mother.

Babies born with this method carry the genetics of their parents. In other words, they are the biological parents of the baby. The baby does not receive any genes from the surrogate mother.

The absence of ovaries and/or sperm, egg and/or sperm poor quality, decreased the number of eggs, genetic problems, etc. In such cases, egg and sperm donation can be done in addition to surrogacy. In this process, the eggs obtained by the IVF method from the donor are fertilized with the sperm of the father candidate and the embryos formed are transferred to the surrogate mother at the appropriate time.

Legal Procedures and Procedures in Surrogacy

To fulfill the legal requirements and protect the rights of the couple applying for this process, our team, who is an expert in surrogacy, provides a contract between the couples and the surrogate mother, including the regulations that protect all rights of the family and the baby that will be born in the notary authorized by the Georgian state is legal in Georgia and Turkey.

Thus, the baby that will be born after the mother has given birth entirely belongs to the couple and the carrier mother cannot claim rights on the baby. Also, the birth certificate contains the name of the Intended Parents only. There is no mention of surrogacy or surrogate mother name in the birth certificate.

'' Surrogacy '' and '' donation '' transactions are legally performed in Georgia and are under state guarantee. The treatment process is regulated as a whole within the framework of laws and regulations. The rights and obligations of the potential parent (the couple applying with the desire to have a baby) and the surrogate mother are determined by a mutually signed contract; It becomes official with the approval of a notary. The parties cannot be forced to anything outside the scope of the contract or make any request exceeding the contract limits. The surrogate mother cannot claim and make a saving on the baby to be born

In Turkey, thousands of women that cannot carry the baby because there is no womb or due to some underlining health problems. Couples who cannot have children for different reasons have also preferred surrogacy in recent years. In the procedure performed as a test tube, the embryo is created using the sperm of the man and the egg of the woman. These embryos are placed in the womb of the surrogate mother. The baby carries the genes of the couple using sperm and eggs.

In Turkey, the ban is for those who want to have children with this method, Georgia where surrogacy is legal, so many Turkish couples prefer countries such as Georgia for the surrogacy program.

Who can opt for a surrogate mother?

In the 21st century, the number of couples without children is increasing day by day and demand for the number of surrogate mothers is also increasing correspondingly.

In some European countries using the surrogate mother is completely banned or only non-commercial surrogacy is allowed.

Who is the Surrogate mother? And who needs it?

A surrogate mother is a woman who carries an embryo from the egg of another woman. Day5 or Day3 embryo is transferred to the uterus of the surrogate mother. A surrogate mother gets compensation from a patient who cannot carry an embryo for 9 months due to uterine pathology or any somatic disease (eg diabetes). Since the embryo is obtained as a result of fertilization of another woman's egg, there is no genetic link between the surrogate mother and the fetus. Only oxygen and nutrients from the surrogate mother's blood are supplied the fetus. The womb of the surrogate mother is just a carrier. The womb of the surrogate mother acts as a natural incubator.
