No problems have ever aroused on the part of surrogate mother or gamete donor to the couple during the longstanding work of the Surrogate Motherhood Center of Georgia because candidates are selected with great care. Each candidate is personally studied by the Director of the Center on the basis of repeated meetings with them. The Center makes the contract with the childless family as well as with the surrogate mother, egg donor or sperm donor. 

Our surrogates and donors come from different ethnic backgrounds and include Caucasians (Georgians, Armenians, Ossetians) as well as Slovenians (Russians, Ukrainians).

In the case when a couple requires a gestational surrogacy, the genetic information of the surrogate mother has no influence on the child. This method is used when the surrogate mother will carry the embryo, conceived with gametes (egg and spermatozoon) of the intended parents and/or Donor and then placed in the surrogate mother’s uterus.

The age of potential surrogates varies from 20 to 35 years-old while the age of egg donors is between 20 to 32 years-old. Both surrogates and donors have their own children. Most surrogates are married, husbands of whom fully understand and agree with their wife’s decision.

Advantages surrogate mothers and egg donors of our surrogacy agency have are as follows:

1. The couple will select 2-3 potential egg donor candidates by photos and after making agreement with the center the couple will have a right to meet candidates personally, interview them and make the final choice. Egg donor compensation makes up maximum 1000 Euros.

2. When artificial fertilization procedure is carried out in Georgian clinic, prior to confirmation of pregnancy our surrogate mothers request from the infertile couple to reimburse only the transportation costs required to reach the place of the medical procedures and the costs of expended working time, which in total makes up 100 euros at most per each In Vitro Fertilization attempt.

3. Upon the confirmation of pregnancy, compensation and expenses of the surrogate mother does not exceed EUR 9 000 during the pregnancy period and after the birth of a child (post-natal rehabilitation period). The major part of the surrogate mother’s compensation shall be paid after the seventeenth week of pregnancy and in the post-natal rehabilitation period.

4. If the infertile couple prefers the potential surrogate mother or egg donor to apply the IVF procedures in another country, or if the surrogate mother must be in another country during pregnancy and delivery, the compensation fee for the surrogate mother or egg donor remains the same, however, the parents-to be, are obliged to cover donor’s or surrogate’s travel expenses, as well as food and living costs. Moreover, a surrogate mother and an egg donor must receive 10-15 euros per day for incidental personal costs during their stay abroad.
5. Our surrogate motherhood agency selects only those surrogate mothers and egg donors who have children, made decision about surrogacy and donation several months ago, have a stable character and are punctual and responsible persons.
