Legal Rights & Protection

Legal Structure in Georgia

Gestational surrogacy in Georgia operates within a defined legal framework. Agreements are formalized through written contracts and supported by independent legal professionals.

ART Parenthood Global Pathways coordinates communication, but does not provide legal advice. All legal matters are handled by qualified lawyers licensed to practice in Georgia.

Independent Legal Representation

Each surrogate is entitled to independent legal representation.

Before signing any agreement, the surrogate:

• Receives full explanation of contractual terms
• Has the opportunity to consult a lawyer
• Reviews obligations and rights in detail
• Signs only after voluntary informed consent

Legal agreements are not valid without informed understanding and voluntary participation.


Surrogacy Agreement

A formal surrogacy contract typically addresses:

• Roles and responsibilities of all parties
• Medical decision-making framework
• Compensation structure (as permitted by law)
• Confidentiality provisions
• Birth registration procedures
• Dispute resolution mechanisms

All contracts are prepared and reviewed by legal professionals.

Parental Rights & Birth Registration

Under Georgian law, intended parents are recognized in accordance with the applicable legal framework at the time of birth, subject to compliance with statutory requirements.

Legal documentation and birth registration procedures are handled by authorized legal representatives and relevant civil registry authorities.


Voluntary Participation & Consent

Participation in surrogacy is voluntary.

A surrogate may withdraw prior to embryo transfer, subject to contractual and medical procedures. Informed consent is mandatory before any medical intervention.

Legal safeguards exist to ensure that participation is not coerced or misrepresented.

Confidentiality & Privacy Protections

Surrogacy agreements include confidentiality provisions.

Personal identity, medical information, and contractual terms are handled discreetly and shared only with relevant professionals such as:

• Licensed clinics
• Authorized lawyers
• Civil registry authorities

No surrogate profiles are publicly displayed.

Dispute Resolution

Contracts may outline mechanisms for resolving disagreements, which can include:

• Mediation
• Legal consultation
• Court procedures in Georgia, if required

Legal recourse is available through Georgian courts in accordance with applicable law.
