What To Expect With International Surrogacy In 2025
Surrogacy has become a popular option for individuals and couples seeking to build their families. Little Embryos specializes in international surrogacy programs, offering tailored solutions in Georgia, Mexico, and Cyprus.
Legal Considerations In International Surrogacy
Navigating surrogacy laws across borders can be complex. Little Embryos provides expert legal guidance to ensure a seamless process for intended parents. Each destination—Georgia, Mexico, and Cyprus—has its own legal framework:
Georgia
Surrogacy has been legally regulated since 2007. Intended parents are recognized as legal parents from birth, simplifying the process. Contracts are legally binding, and the surrogate holds no rights to the child. The intended parents are listed on the birth certificate
Mexico
Recent reforms have made surrogacy accessible to single parents and same-sex couples. Legal contracts are notarized in both Spanish and English, ensuring clarity and protection. The birth certificate can be listed with one parent or as a couple.
Cyprus
Surrogacy contracts are enforceable and is open to single dads and heterosexual couples. The surrogate and father’s name is listed on the birth certificate.
Financial Considerations In International Surrogacy
International surrogacy involves several financial aspects to consider:
Medical Procedures: Fertility treatments and IVF cycles.
Surrogate Compensation: Expenses related to surrogate care.
Legal Fees: Costs associated with drafting and executing contracts.
Travel and Accommodation: Expenses for intended parents during travel.
Creating a detailed budget and exploring financing options can help manage these costs effectively.
Medical Considerations In International Surrogacy
Pre-surrogacy medical evaluations are crucial for ensuring success. These include fertility assessments, genetic screening, and infectious disease testing. Advanced technologies like Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) are available to enhance embryo selection and improve pregnancy outcomes.
The timeline for international surrogacy typically spans 12–18 months, including:
- Initial medical evaluations for intended parents and surrogates.
- IVF procedures such as egg retrieval and fertilization.
- Embryo transfer to the surrogate’s uterus.
- Pregnancy monitoring through regular check-ups.
- Delivery at a preselected hospital.
Little Embryos ensures that surrogates receive top-tier prenatal care while keeping intended parents involved throughout the journey.
