Book a consultation - [Surrogacy in Georgia](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/surrogacy-in-georgia/): Due to significant changes in the Georgian surrogacy landscape, we have permanently closed our program in the country. The influx of foreign agencies—primarily Russian and Ukrainian—has led to a sharp decline in the availability of Georgian surrogates. Many agencies have turned to importing surrogate candidates from outside Georgia, including from Albania, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. This practice does not meet our ethical or logistical standards, and we consider it unworkable. Furthermore, the Georgian government has announced that it will ban surrogacy for foreign intended parents from 2026. - [Surrogacy in Greece](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/surrogacy-in-greece/): Until these criminal proceedings are resolved, the Greek legal system has become cautious in approving new surrogacy cases, and the availability of surrogate mothers has sharply declined. As a result, we are not currently accepting new applications for surrogacy in Greece. - [FAQ](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/faq/): We’ve organized the most common questions into categories to help you find answers quickly and easily.

Our answer is always depends on two elements. Firstly, whether the country in which they propose to undertake the surrogacy will allow a process where the intended parent has no biological link. Secondly, whether the nationality of the Intended Parents will support such a case by recognising the passing of citizenship by descent to the child without recourse to an adoption process (eg: Canada, Australia - yes, USA - no). - [Going Overseas for International Surrogacy – Why?](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/going-overseas-for-international-surrogacy-why/): Many people not actually involved in a surrogacy program themselves ask their friends, "Why do you go overseas when we have surrogacy programs here?" In most cases, the intended parents have already considered that question and decided to undertake an international program despite the greater convenience of a program at home. - [How are we matched with a surrogate?](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/how-are-we-matched-with-a-surrogate/): We have explained in an earlier post why there are delays in some international surrogacy programs – War in Ukraine, US Supreme Court decision on abortion. - [Things Intended Parents Should Know about International Surrogacy](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/things-intended-parents-should-know-about-international-surrogacy/): A question that often comes up in my conversations with prospective intended parents is: “What if the Surrogate changes her mind and wants to keep the baby?” I understand the concern of intended parents, given that the primary objective of a surrogacy program is to receive their baby at birth without any drama or hiccups. - [Surrogacy and the War in Ukraine](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/surrogacy-and-the-war-in-ukraine/): Some estimates claim that prior to February, Ukraine provided about 60% of the global market in surrogacy. In February, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the whole surrogacy industry in Ukraine halted. Consequently, all but Chinese nationals have also abandoned surrogacy programs in Russia. Global Surrogacy managed to get the last baby born in Russia to our clients less than five weeks after he was born in April. We also managed to get the embryos of all bar one of our clients out of Ukraine into another program. - [Colombia – Whose name is on the birth certificate?](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/colombia-birth-certificate/): On a trip to Mexico and Colombia last week, we met with our new Colombian lawyer, who has offered us a new procedure for obtaining the child's birth certificate with the intended parent's names, and only their names, on it.  The new procedure has been successfully employed several times and entails a significant development.  It also means the birth certificate can be available within a week after the child is born.  We want to be discreet about this process, but it works and is a significant advance on the procedure that was being followed up until last week. - [The Measure of a Surrogacy Agency is its Service During a Crisis](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/the-measure-of-a-surrogacy-agency-service-during-crisis/): We have previously announced the closure of our Russia program.  It is unfortunate given that our clients experienced great results from Russian clinics, but it is impossible to operate under the current circumstances where Russia has invaded Ukraine and suffered from crippling sanctions.  - [Russian Invasion of Ukraine – Impact on Surrogacy](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/russian-invasion-ukraine-surrogacy-impact/): We have all watched in horror the images of a war on civilians, including children, as images of maiming, destruction and death are spread across our media.  We honour our brave Ukrainian colleagues who have risked their lives to get the gametes and embryos of clients to safety and into neighbouring countries.  Some countries have stepped up and given refuge to pregnant surrogates, although the legal consequences of those surrogates giving birth in those third countries are still unknown.  As soon as the war stops and our Ukrainian colleagues return to their clinics and are able to safely offer their services, we will return with our clients to support them - morally and financially.  - [Our Russia Surrogacy Program is Suspended Until Putin is Gone](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/russia-surrogacy-suspended-until-putin-gone/): We have had a program in Russia since late 2017.  The colleagues we worked with in clinics and law firms were largely open and rational.  We first encountered problems in June 2020 when the unethical conduct of a few surrogacy agencies came to the attention of authorities.  Russian authorities responded with a hammer.  Doctors and administrators were arrested.  The immediate result was that the clinics and lawyers refused to continue providing services to single parents but then it expanded to a situation where services were refused to all foreign intended parents unless they attended the clinic and legal office in person in Russia.  Some clinics adopted these changes overnight and others gradually over months but ultimately, it has become so unreliable and subject to bureaucratic interference that we cannot continue our programs in Russia.  - [What is Surrogacy?](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/what-is-surrogacy/): "What does surrogate mean?"  Essentially a surrogate is the birth mother. Surrogacy is the act of a woman carrying to term an embryo (surrogate pregnancy) conceived from the sperm and egg of another man and woman where the child is intended to be the child of the person(s) who engage the surrogate through surrogacy arrangements. The man and woman (surrogate parents), may be a couple or single, could be the donors of their genetic material or they could engage donors separately.  In any event, the people who engage the surrogate are known as the intended parent(s).  If the woman surrogate parent is the one who provided the eggs then she is the biological mother. - [Is surrogacy legal in Thailand, Cambodia or Laos?](https://kinpathsurrogacy.com/surrogacy-legal-in-thailand/): Across the world, legalities and regulations differ when it comes to surrogacy.
