Georgia is the second most cost-effective surrogacy destination in the Militta network. Programs start at $52,500, about $11,000 above Ukraine, and offer the same direct parentage-at-birth legal framework for married heterosexual couples. This article explains what a Georgian program costs in 2026, what is included, and what is quoted separately.
Quick answer: how much does surrogacy in Georgia cost?
Militta offers two program tiers in Georgia. The Basic program costs $52,500 to $62,500. The Guaranteed program costs $75,000 to $82,500 and continues until a live birth. Add-ons such as PGT-A genetic testing, donor gametes and apostille are quoted separately when they apply to your case.
What is included in the program fee
The Basic program covers:
- IVF cycle with the intended parents' gametes
- Embryo culture and embryo transfer
- Surrogate compensation, allowance, insurance and prenatal care
- Clinic fees from cycle to delivery
- Notarised surrogacy agreement and legal representation
- Birth registration and Georgian birth certificate
- Dedicated case manager reachable on WhatsApp
The Guaranteed program covers the same journey, with repeat embryo transfers and, if necessary, a replacement surrogate included until a live birth.
Neither tier covers your travel, apostille, embassy fees or the post-birth exit procedure in your home country. These are listed separately and priced in writing before signing.
Surrogate compensation
Surrogate compensation is the largest component of the program fee. It includes base compensation, a monthly allowance during pregnancy, milestone payments and a maternity allowance, and it is held in escrow and released milestone by milestone. It is part of the program fee and is not billed to you separately.
Twin pregnancy and a medically indicated Caesarean section are the only realistic mid-program changes, and how they are handled is written into the contract before signing.
Quoted separately
- PGT-A genetic testing. Recommended when intended-parent age is over 38 or after recurrent miscarriage.
- Donor eggs, fresh or frozen, from the Georgian database.
- Donor sperm, from the Georgian database or an international sperm bank.
- Additional IVF cycle if the first does not produce viable embryos.
- Apostille and translations on the Georgian birth certificate.
- Travel and accommodation. Most intended parents travel to Tbilisi twice: once for IVF and once around the birth.
Payment schedule and escrow
Every Militta Georgian program uses milestone-based escrow. The program fee is split into instalments tied to documented stages: onboarding, IVF start, surrogate match, confirmed pregnancy, second-trimester checkpoint and delivery. The exact schedule is part of your contract.
How does Georgia compare to other destinations?
Georgia's Basic program starts about $11,000 above Ukraine's, and its Guaranteed program sits in the same range as Latin American destinations. Its main appeal is a legal framework very similar to Ukraine's (direct parentage on the birth certificate, no court step) combined with a reputation for tighter clinical regulation and a slightly shorter post-birth procedure. For couples weighing Ukraine vs Georgia, the choice usually comes down to your home embassy location and how confident you feel about Ukraine's wartime context. See our note on Ukraine safety.
What Georgia is not for
Georgia restricts surrogacy to married heterosexual couples with a documented medical indication. Same-sex couples and single intended parents are not eligible. For those families we recommend Colombia, Mexico or the USA.
