In the jurisdiction of Georgia, the legal foundation of any surrogacy arrangement rests entirely upon the strength and precision of the initial contract. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we specialize in drafting comprehensive Surrogacy Agreements that serve as the primary governing instrument between Intended Parents and the surrogate mother. Unlike many other jurisdictions where court orders are required pre-birth to establish parentage, Georgia utilizes a contract-based model supported by Article 143 of the Law of Georgia on Health Care. This specific legal framework means that the document we draft for you is not merely a formality but the definitive proof required by the Public Service Hall to issue a birth certificate in your names immediately upon the child’s delivery. We ensure that every clause is enforceable, clearly defining the transfer of parental rights and strictly prohibiting the surrogate from claiming any legal relationship to the child after birth.
Our drafting process is exhaustive and anticipates every potential medical and legal contingency to mitigate risk for Intended Parents. We incorporate detailed provisions regarding the surrogate’s lifestyle obligations during gestation, including dietary restrictions, travel limitations, and adherence to medical protocols prescribed by your IVF clinic. Furthermore, we address complex and sensitive issues such as compensation milestones, financial liabilities in the event of miscarriage, and specific policies regarding selective reduction or termination for medical reasons. By clarifying these terms prior to the embryo transfer, we prevent future disputes and ensure that all parties enter the arrangement with fully informed consent. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that your journey to parenthood is legally insulated from ambiguity.
Beyond the contract itself, our service encompasses the pre-conception legal due diligence required to validate your eligibility under Georgian law. We verify that your marital status or proof of cohabitation meets the strict criteria set forth by the Ministry of Health and Labour, ensuring you are legally qualified to engage in a surrogacy program before any medical procedures begin. We also ensure the agreement aligns with the latest regulations concerning notarization and donor anonymity if applicable. By engaging Legal Sandbox Georgia at this foundational stage, you are securing a legal safety net that protects your financial investment and, most importantly, your future legal status as the sole parents of your child.
