Georgia is recognized globally for its favorable and clear legal framework regarding surrogacy, offering a secure path to parenthood for couples facing infertility. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we provide specialized legal expertise in surrogacy law, guiding intended parents through every stage of this complex journey. Our services in Tbilisi are designed to ensure a legally sound process, from drafting the initial surrogacy agreement to establishing your full and undisputed parental rights upon the birth of your child, all in strict accordance with Georgian legislation, specifically the Law on Health Protection.
A key advantage of Georgia's surrogacy laws is the explicit recognition of the intended parents as the legal parents from the moment of conception. Provided that the embryo transferred to the surrogate mother was obtained from the genetic material of the intended parents, they are immediately considered the legal mother and father. This means the surrogate mother has no parental rights over the child at any point, which provides immense security and clarity for intended parents. This legal certainty removes the need for any adoption process following the birth, simplifying the path to legal parenthood.
The cornerstone of any successful surrogacy arrangement is a comprehensive and professionally drafted legal agreement. This contract is a critical document that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and intentions of all parties involved—the intended parents and the surrogate mother. It covers essential aspects such as financial arrangements, medical procedures, and codes of conduct during the pregnancy. Our experienced lawyers draft bespoke surrogacy agreements that are tailored to your specific situation, ensuring they are fully enforceable under Georgian law and protect your interests completely.
The final and most crucial step in the legal process is obtaining the child's birth certificate. In Georgia, the birth certificate is issued shortly after birth and names the intended parents directly as the mother and father. The surrogate mother's name does not appear on this document. Our team at Legal Sandbox Georgia manages this entire registration process, liaising with the relevant government agencies to ensure all paperwork is filed correctly and the birth certificate is issued promptly. We provide end-to-end legal support, allowing you to focus on welcoming your new child into your family.
