Legal Framework

Recognized by law since 1997

Governed by the Law on Healthcare, Article 143. The intended parents — married or unmarried — are the legal parents, with no adoption. Parentage is registered by the Civil Registry of the Public Service Development Agency; our partner agency in Tbilisi handles the paperwork.

Our family-law attorneys in Tbilisi handle every legal step, from the agreement to the birth certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Surrogacy in Georgia — questions answered

Who can apply for surrogacy in Georgia?

Georgia permits gestational surrogacy for heterosexual couples — married or in a documented relationship of at least one year — including foreign intended parents; same-sex couples and single applicants are not eligible. Novaparent's Georgia program accepts both married and unmarried heterosexual couples (unmarried couples must have lived together for at least one year) with a documented medical need, and eligibility is confirmed individually with our local legal counsel in Tbilisi.

How long does a surrogacy program in Georgia take?

14–20 months from agreement to home: 4–8 weeks of matching, 2–3 months of IVF and transfer, 9 months of pregnancy, then 2–4 weeks for documents.

Do we need to hire a separate lawyer at home?

In Georgia, no — our attorneys in Tbilisi handle everything. At home it depends on local law: some countries require a parental order or transcription after you return. We go through this in the consultation.

Can we use donor eggs, and will we both be on the birth certificate?

Yes. Donor eggs are included in the Comfort and Prestige packages. After the birth, the Civil Registry registers both intended parents on the birth certificate, usually within 1–2 weeks — an administrative step, not a court hearing in standard cases. Neither the egg donor nor the surrogate has parental rights.

Svitlana knows surrogacy from both sides: she has been a surrogate mother herself, so she understands the feelings, concerns and needs of women who choose this path.

Every stageSurrogate selection & support

For more than 10 years she has selected, coordinated and supported surrogate mothers and protected their rights and interests. At Novaparent she leads our work with surrogate mothers — selection, preparation, communication and support throughout the programme.

It matters to me that every woman feels heard, protected and confident in her decision. True professionalism in this field is impossible without humanity, respect and personal responsibility.
