Georgia surrogacy laws and legal parenthood
Surrogacy in Georgia, just like in Ukraine, has been fully legalized and regulated since 1997.
When embarking on a surrogacy journey, prospective parents will sign a power of attorney in favour of the person designated by the agency to enter into a valid surrogacy agreement with the future surrogate on behalf of the parents. There is no need for a court order to establish parental rights.
Article 143, Section b: Surrogacy, the beautiful act of compassion and hope, is permitted in the extraordinary circumstance where a woman is without a womb. Its purpose is to nurture and empower the precious embryo, conceived with love, by transferring it to the sanctuary of another remarkable woman, known as the “gestational angel.”
In Georgia, only those couples who can demonstrate a minimum of one year of cohabitation will be eligible to partake in this remarkable experience. The woman, will present a medical report outlining the reasons why she is unable to carry a healthy pregnancy. Furthermore, the law requires at least one of the two parties to contribute their genetic material.
Requirements to start a process in Georgia
Not every citizen can initiate a surrogacy process in Georgia. In order to become intended parents, there are a number of legal and medical requirements that must be met.
Heterosexual marriages and heterosexual couples
All those heterosexual couples who have been married for at least a year or can prove their cohabitation during that year, and whose female partner is unable to conceive or for whom pregnancy may pose a risk to the mother or the fetus, will have the opportunity to embark on a remarkable journey of surrogacy in the beautiful country of Georgia.
Single men or single women
In Georgia, single persons will not be able to carry out a surrogacy procedure, even if the single person is a woman who is unable to carry out a gestational surrogacy procedure. For single men there are programs in Mexico, Colombia and Czech Republic. For single women we have surrogacy programs in Greece.
LGBTQ+ couples or marriages
In Georgia, same-sex couples or married couples cannot initiate a surrogacy procedure either. For gay or boy couples we have programs in Mexico, Colombia and the Czech Republic. For lesbian or gay couples we have programs in Colombia, Mexico or Greece.

Registration in the Civil Registry and obtaining the baby passport
Shortly after the birth, the baby will be registered in the Georgian Civil Registry in the name of the intended parents, and that is why the surrogate mother will have no rights whatsoever over the newborn.
The next step will be to obtain a passport for the child so that the parents can return to their country with the baby.
Obtaining Citizenship and passport
In most cases, the baby will be registered through the consulate of the country of the intended parents, thus obtaining the nationality of at least the father. However, there are countries that refuse to register the baby, issuing in that case a certificate of refusal of registration, a document necessary for the newborn to obtain Georgian nationality and passport.

Through the process, we discovered that choosing a surrogacy agency was key. The professionalism and dedication of OneSurrogacy gave us the blessing of becoming parents and will remain in our hearts forever.
