Couples looking to have children often turn to surrogacy agencies in Georgia without understanding the hidden costs

Georgia has emerged as a primary destination for international surrogacy services following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Many couples seeking to start families through these agencies report being unprepared for the significant financial burdens associated with the process.

Interviews with prospective and current parents highlight a lack of transparency regarding the total expenses involved in the industry. The rapid growth of the surrogacy sector in the region has outpaced the awareness of these hidden costs, creating challenges for those navigating the surrogacy process.
