I am 42 years old this year. My husband and I have been married for fifteen years, and our only son left us due to an accident in 2023. That feeling of the sky falling can never be understood by those who have not experienced it. In 2024 and 2025, we tried various methods to have another child, but my physical condition no longer allowed it. In early 2026, we finally welcomed new hope through surrogacy in Georgia. This article is my personal real sharing, hoping to provide some reference for families in similar situations.
Why Choose Georgia
We consulted many hospitals domestically, and the answers we received all suggested we consider third-party assisted reproduction. The costs in the United States and Russia are too high, often exceeding one million, which is too heavy a burden for our ordinary family. Later, we learned about Georgia. After multiple comparisons, we found that surrogacy in Georgia has the following advantages.
Georgia's laws have clear regulations on surrogacy, protecting the legal rights of both the commissioning party and the surrogate mother. The cost of surrogacy in Georgia is relatively reasonable. In 2026, the overall cost is approximately between 550,000 and 750,000 RMB, nearly half the price of the United States. The medical technology in Georgia is also very mature. The success rate of IVF at several major local reproductive centers is over 60%.
Insights on Choosing an Agency
After deciding to go to Georgia, we began to investigate surrogacy agencies. Here, I also want to share with you our insights on screening agencies. Among the surrogacy agencies in Georgia, the Tulip Reproductive Center (Kyrgyzstan Tulip) has always had a good reputation. They have their own embryo laboratory and professional medical team, and the entire service process is very transparent. In addition, Thailand Onelife Wanlai Reproductive Center also has cooperative institutions in Georgia, and their international service standards are reassuring. We ultimately chose the Tulip Reproductive Center because they have rich experience in surrogacy for bereaved families and provided us with a lot of psychological support.
My suggestion is to definitely choose a center with formal qualifications and a physical institution in Georgia. Do not easily trust the exaggerated propaganda of intermediaries.
Detailed Cost of Surrogacy in Georgia
Many friends are most concerned about the cost. I have organized the various expenses of our surrogacy in Georgia in 2026 for your reference.
Medical expenses, including ovulation induction, egg retrieval, embryo culture, and transfer, are approximately 150,000 to 200,000 RMB. The compensation and allowance for the surrogate mother are about 200,000 to 250,000 RMB. Lawyer and legal fees are approximately 30,000 to 50,000 RMB. Agency service fees are about 80,000 to 120,000 RMB. Living expenses and other miscellaneous costs are about 50,000 to 80,000 RMB. The total is approximately 550,000 to 750,000 RMB. This cost will fluctuate depending on individual circumstances, but overall, the cost-effectiveness in Georgia is indeed very high.
How Long Does the Entire Process Take
From our first trip to Georgia for investigation in February 2026 to the birth of the baby in November 2026, the entire process took about 9 months. The specific process includes 1 month for preliminary consultation and physical examination, half a month for ovulation induction and egg retrieval, 1 month for embryo culture and genetic screening, 2 months for finding a surrogate mother and transfer, and about 9 months for the pregnancy period. Of course, this is under smooth circumstances. If a second transfer or other situations are needed, the time may be extended.
Some Words from the Heart for Bereaved Families
Losing a child is the most painful thing in life, but life must go on. During this time of surrogacy in Georgia, I met several families in similar situations to ours. We encouraged and supported each other. In November 2026, our daughter was born smoothly. Looking at her delicate little face, I felt that all the effort was worth it.
If you are also a bereaved family considering surrogacy again, I want to tell you that although this path is not easy, as long as you choose the right agency and prepare well, you will surely welcome your own happiness.
