Law of Georgia “On Health Protection”
Article 143. Extracorporeal fertilization (IVF) is allowed:
a) For the purpose of treatment of infertility, as well as in case of risk of transmission of genetic disease on a wife’s or a husband’s part, by using sex cells or an embryo of the couple or a donor, if the couple’s written consent has been obtained.
b) If a woman has no uterus, for the purpose of transfer and growth of the embryo obtained as a result of fertilization to the uterus of another woman (“surrogate mother”). The couple’s written consent is obligatory.
The couple is considered to be parents in case of the childbirth with the responsibility and authority ensuing from it. A donor or a “surrogate mother” has no right to be recognized as a parent of the born child.
Article 144.
For the purpose of artificial fertilization it is possible to use female and male sex cells or an embryo conserved by the method of freezing. The time of conservation is determined according to the couple’s will by established procedure.
What is Gestational Surrogacy?
When it comes to gestational surrogacy, the surrogate (also called the gestational carrier) is not biologically related to the baby she is carrying. Instead, the embryo is created in the laboratory using IVF. The embryo might be created using the intended mother’s (or donor’s) egg and the intended father’s (or donor’s) sperm. It is then transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. Gestational Surrogacy is applied in most cases.
What is Traditional Surrogacy?
In terms of traditional surrogacy, the surrogate represents the egg donor and is the biological mother of the baby she is carrying; the embryos are created using sperm from the intended father or a donor in a process called IUI. This type of surrogacy is also considered as full surrogacy or genetic surrogacy. Traditional surrogacy is not as common as gestational one.
What is IVF?
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process of fertilization where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a liquid in a laboratory. After the fertilised egg (zygote) undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, it is implanted in the same or another woman's uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
Who are surrogates and how are they screened?
Surrogates are women of all different backgrounds that want to help intended parents add to their families. Some common requirements for surrogate mothers are:
Will egg donation effect my fertility?
No because the average woman is born with 2 million eggs. By puberty, that pool consists of about 400,000 follicles (eggs). From these, only 400 will reach maturity and be ovulated. This leaves approximately 399,600 unused. In a typical cycle a woman typically produces 15-20 eggs. Usually, only one is released for ovulation and the body discards the rest.
What about my privacy?
We take the privacy of our donors, surrogate mothers and intended parents very seriously. Nearly all of our partners are anonymous unless in rare cases where the donor/surrogate mother and the intended parents choose to meet. Any private information provided through applications, interviews or other documents are all confidential and strictly protected from unauthorized people.
