2
Signing the contract with the clinic
After agreeing on the treatment plan, a contract is signed with the clinic, outlining all stages and conditions of the program.
3
Embryo Creation or Preparation
Embryos are created using your own or donor cells, or existing frozen embryos. Genetic testing of embryos may be performed before transfer if recommended.
4
Legal preparation
We arrange a notarized agreement between the parents and the surrogate, including certified translations and documentation according to Georgian law. All documents can be signed remotely by power of attorney.
5
Surrogate Matching & Screening
All candidates undergo medical and psychological evaluation. If needed, a replacement surrogate can be assigned based on medical criteria.
6
Embryo transfer
The embryo is transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. If required, a repeat transfer is performed according to the program terms.
7
Pregnancy and delivery
Pregnancy is monitored by EFC specialists with regular reports, ultrasound photos, and video updates. Delivery takes place at one of Tbilisi’s top maternity hospitals.
8
Documentation
After the birth, we assist you with obtaining the birth certificate and preparing all necessary documents for your child’s departure from Georgia.
Our team
We believe that both advanced technology and human connection are crucial in every surrogacy journey.
The doctors, embryologists, coordinators, and legal experts at EFC work together to ensure every family feels supported, calm, and confident throughout the entire process.
Yes, a replacement is available for medical reasons without limitation.
How long should we plan to stay in Georgia for the surrogacy program?
The duration of your stay depends on the treatment plan and whose reproductive cells are used. If the intended mother’s own eggs are used, she will need to come for about two weeks for ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, while the intended father stays for 1–3 days to provide sperm. If donor eggs are used, only the intended father needs to come to provide sperm.
How many times do we need to travel to Georgia, and how long is each visit?
Usually, two visits are required: the first to provide the genetic material, and the second at the time of the baby’s birth.
Do both parents need to be present in person to sign contracts with the clinic and the surrogate?
No. All agreements are notarized and can be signed remotely by power of attorney. The clinic fully manages this process.
How is the baby’s birth certificate issued?
The clinic handles the entire process. We submit all required documents to the Georgian House of Justice to obtain the birth certificate.
How long does it take to receive the birth certificate after delivery?
Usually from one to four weeks.
Is surrogacy legal in Georgia for international couples?
Yes. Surrogacy is officially permitted and fully regulated by Georgian law.
Who can participate in the program?
Surrogacy programs in Georgia are open to heterosexual couples who have been in an official or civil marriage for at least one year.
Where are the surrogates from, and what are the requirements?
Our surrogates are from Georgia, Russia, and Kazakhstan. All surrogates must be physically and psychologically healthy, have at least one biological child, and be under 40 years old.
Do surrogates undergo medical and psychological testing?
Yes. Every candidate undergoes a full medical examination according to a strict protocol, including a psychological assessment.
Are surrogates tested for alcohol, nicotine, and drug use?
Yes. These tests are part of the standard screening protocol and may be repeated during the program.
How is the health and lifestyle of the surrogate monitored during pregnancy?
The pregnancy is supervised by EFC doctors. Each surrogate has a personal coordinator who stays in touch 24/7, monitors scheduled check-ups, and assists with any medical or everyday needs.
Where do surrogates live during the program, and who helps them with daily needs?
Most surrogates live with their families. If they come from another country, the clinic provides housing — typically shared apartments with two surrogates per flat, each with a private room. A housekeeper visits once a week to help with cleaning.
Where are pregnancy monitoring and delivery carried out?
Pregnancy is monitored at our clinic, and deliveries take place at Tbilisi’s leading maternity hospitals — Gagua or Gudushauri.
Do surrogates stay in Georgia for the entire program?
Surrogates from Georgia and Kazakhstan reside in the country throughout the program. Surrogates from Russia arrive in Georgia at around the 22nd week of pregnancy and stay until delivery.
What is the age range of surrogates?
Up to 40 years old, with the average age being around 30.
Can two embryos be transferred at the same time?
Yes, provided the surrogate agrees and there are no medical contraindications — such as a previous cesarean section, high risk of multiple pregnancy, or other restrictions. The decision is made by the reproductive specialist.
How are surrogates selected?
Candidates first meet with a coordinator and then undergo a full medical evaluation according to the clinic’s protocol.
What languages do the doctors and coordinators speak?
The main languages are Georgian, Russian, and English. Coordinators also speak more than ten languages, including Chinese and Hebrew.
How many transfers are included in the programs?
Standard programs include two frozen embryo transfers, while the “Guarantee” program offers unlimited transfers.
Can the surrogate be replaced?
Yes, a replacement is available for medical reasons without limitation.
Who handles the legal process?
EFC takes full responsibility for the legal process — from preparing and notarizing contracts to obtaining the birth certificate at the House of Justice in Georgia.
Can donor eggs be used?
Yes. We offer access to our own donor database, and programs with donor oocytes include two embryo transfers.
Is there a guaranteed-result program?
Yes, the “Guarantee” program includes unlimited IVF/ICSI cycles and unlimited transfers until a live birth.
How is payment structured?
Payments are made step-by-step — from contract signing to the 18th week of pregnancy. The compensation for the surrogate is paid directly to her account. Specific amounts and stages depend on the chosen program.
This information is for general reference only and does not replace personal consultation. Final decisions regarding examinations and treatment programs are made by your EFC physician.
