In this country, the following people can carry out surrogacy procedures:
Law 8876, dated 4.4.2002 on Reproductive Health, in article 43 recognizes surrogacy as a valid technique of assisted reproduction, although it does not subsequently have any regulations.
This is why these processes can be done legally in this countries, as it has been done for the last 4 years. Often ALBANIA becomes the best option for economic reasons since the programs in ALBANIA costs half the amount of a program in the USA or CANADA, which has made them the preferred program for many Europeans. The geographical proximity to this country also makes many couples choose this destination when it comes to surrogacy.
As in most countries, the surrogacy that is done in ALBANIA is the complete Gestation, one which the surrogate carrier does not provide genetic material, which is prohibited in the majority of countries that perform surrogate gestation.
The genetic material is either provided by the intended parents or through a donor. When we resort to a donor, it can only be an egg donor, since in this country there has no judicial ruling. Paternity is determined by affiliation, and the father must prove his biological relationship with the baby. The donor can be anonymous or chosen.

After the birth, the intended parents must register the baby in the registry office. A birth certificate issued by the clinic must be provided. In the certificate issued by the civil registry of Tirana, both the biological father and the surrogate appear.
At the same time, we will obtain the waiver of the surrogate, which we may need later in your country of origin if you want the baby to be adopted by your partner or spouse.
Albania has replaced Russia in the world map of surrogacy (Russia banned surrogacy on 14.12.2023 to foreigners.) It does not require a medical certificate to prove medical reasons that prevents a heterosexual couple to have children, and allows surrogacy to single men or male homosexual couples.
Our staff will assist you in our office in Tirana (Albania) in your language. In a surrogacy process where legal issues are mixed with medical issues, it is important to speak the same language and understand each other. With Gestlife, you will never feel like a stranger in a foreign country.
It is something that seems obvious, but with some agencies you are lucky to speak to an advisor in your language. As soon as you sign the contract, the rest of the staff most likely does not speak English, and you have to have a translator. Make sure if you talk to other agencies that this doesn’t happen. A year and a half (the length of the surrogacy process) having to speak in other languages is very stressful.
