In any case, young (20-30 years old) healthy women who have their own healthy children are sought for donation of oocytes in the Stork Service center. Women with hereditary and chronic diseases who live in areas with unfavorable ecological conditions, who have mental disorders, who are overweight, or have harmful habits are not allowed to participate in the program. As an additional service, a donor of a certain ethnic group, model appearance, with creative abilities or a high level of IQ is selected. The selection of the phenotype in accordance with the wishes of customers can be carried out by photo.
Such a situation must be considered individually. If we are not talking about the presence of genetic abnormalities, the probability of a healthy baby is very high.
You will be contacted by the consultant of the Stork Service center to talk about the documents you need to prepare, and to appoint your date of arrival to us. After the interview and signing the contract with the Stork Service center, you will need to undergo a comprehensive medical examination. Only after receiving the results of the diagnosis and confirming your fitness for bearing the fetus will you be entered in the database of candidates for surrogacy. Specialists of the Stork Service center will offer you a family that will be ready to accept your help in bearing a child.
Legislation provides signing a special form of consent statement by a surrogate mother immediately after the child’s birth. In this document the woman confirms her agreement to record the biological parents on the birth certificate. Receiving the metric is supported by a qualified lawyer of the Stork Service center, so there are no problems or disturbance for the parents.
Maternal instinct is one of the most powerful behavioral stimuli for all living on our planet. The baby will fall into your arms immediately after birth, and you will instantly plunge into the aura of warm feelings towards them. The child will be yours genetically; therefore, soon family features will appear in their appearance. The world is changing rapidly. Until recently, people looked with wary eyes at children “created in a test tube.” But now IVF is a generally accepted medical procedure. Surrogacy is also a reproductive technology. A child, born by a surrogate, will be yours legally, medically and emotionally.
Actually, it depends on the biological parents themselves. After signing the contract with the Stork Service center and discussing their wishes, 2-3 candidates for surrogacy are offered for selection. Next, a personal meeting is organized and one of the candidates is approved. All these activities take from a few days to a few weeks.
Straight at the stage of selecting candidates for the surrogate mothers of our center, women undergo rigorous tests. The way of life in the present, the absence of problems with the law in the past, the attitude to their own children, and a number of other factors are taken into account. As an additional service, clients are offered the assistance of a private detective to verify a woman. We appreciate the calmness of our customers; therefore, we cooperate only with trustworthy surrogate mothers.
The diagnostic program for spouses is determined in each case individually. For the first interview it is necessary to present the conclusion of specialists’ diagnosis of infertility. The surrogacy option is selected depending on the cause of infertility. Sometimes the couple is sent for a consultation with a geneticist. Fundamental aspects in the preparation of the surrogacy program is the need to use the donor genetic material (oocytes or sperm), or the presence of frozen embryos.
Today, the practice of DNA research is widespread. You can order such an examination at any time to remove all doubts. However, the reputation of the Stork Service center absolutely excludes the possibility of providing untruthful information to biological parents.
According to the legislation, if the child has a genetic connection with only one of the spouses (with the father giving the sperm), the second of the spouses gets the parental rights automatically. The child’s birth certificate records the names of both biological parents. In this case, a surrogate mother, like a gestational courier, has no kinship with the baby and cannot claim it.
Yes. Stork Service center cooperates with experienced lawyers in international law. Immediately after the signing of the cooperation agreement with the clients, the specialists begin to study the legislative norms of the country regarding surrogacy. As parents bring their child home with a legally issued birth certificate, there are usually no problems with obtaining citizenship.
Specialists of the Stork Service center provide a meeting at the airport and transfer to the hotel, where rooms are pre-booked. During the trip you will be accompanied by an interpreter. If you wish, we can also arrange tourist support. Georgia is a wonderful, hospitable country. Recent years have been associated with the active development of infrastructure. Most residents are fluent in Russian and English. Guests in Georgia feel comfortable.
The standard protocol of examination, hormonal stimulation and the production of oocytes take about three weeks. In some cases, the first stage of ovarian stimulation can be done in your home country. If this option is planned, the duration of stay in Georgia is reduced to one week. During this time, ultrasound investigation is performed and the necessary stage of maturation of the follicles is confirmed. Then, under anesthesia, the ova are removed through ovarian puncture. However, only a doctor can determine the most suitable way for you to receive ova.
Of course. Special attention in our center is given to psychological testing. We make sure that women are clearly aware of the step they are taking, as well as the lack of genetic kinship with the child. During interviews with specialists the level of understanding, attentiveness, and adequacy of perceived information becomes clear.
No. According to the legal procedures established in the legislation of Georgia, only the biological parents are recorded in the metric. You do not have to change this document. However, in some countries, legalization of a child born in another country is a problem. We recommend that you take advantage of the support of qualified lawyers of the Stork Service center and do not worry about the legal side of things.
Surrogacy is a beautiful way to grow your family — with the help of a compassionate woman who carries your baby for you. There are three main types:
- Gestational surrogacy (our standard): The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child. The embryo is created using your or a donor’s egg and is transferred to the surrogate’s uterus through IVF.
- Traditional surrogacy: The surrogate uses her own egg, making her the biological mother. Due to legal and ethical complexities, this method is not used in most countries.
- Gestational surrogacy in same-sex female couples: One partner provides the egg, and the other carries the pregnancy. This option allows both partners to feel deeply involved in the journey.
At Stork Service, we believe in transparency and value. Our surrogacy programs start at $45,000 USD. The total cost depends on several factors:
- The country where the program takes place (Georgia or Armenia)
- Legal and medical services, including IVF, testing, and screenings

- Number of embryo transfers
- Any additional surrogates (you receive multi-surrogate discounts!)
- Accommodation, insurance, and document assistance
