How does the guaranteed childbirth or 100% money refund program work at surrogacy.ge?
Updated
The program bundles surrogacy with egg donation into a single fixed-price package: the clinic commits to "Childbirth or 100% money refund," meaning that if no child is born, the intended parents get their money back. According to the clinic, the package includes unlimited IVF attempts, egg donation and surrogacy attempts, plus pregnancy care, all for one fixed price. The program has been offered since 2010, and the clinic describes it as the best option it offers to couples.
What the guarantee covers
Based on the clinic's own description, the guaranteed childbirth program combines two services that are usually priced and managed separately:
- Surrogacy — a surrogate mother carries the pregnancy.
- Egg donation — donor eggs are used, with the clinic stating it maintains its own database of egg donors.
These are sold together as one guaranteed package rather than as separate procedures.
What is included for the fixed price
The clinic lists the following elements as part of the guaranteed program:
| Included element | What the clinic states |
|---|---|
| IVF attempts | Unlimited |
| Egg donation | Unlimited attempts |
| Surrogacy attempts | Unlimited attempts |
| Pregnancy care | Included |
| Price | Fixed, with the clinic claiming "no hidden fees" |
The "unlimited attempts" wording is the core of the offer: instead of paying per cycle, the couple pays once and the clinic continues attempts until a birth occurs or the refund condition is triggered.
The refund condition
The guarantee is stated as "Childbirth or 100% money refund." In plain terms, the clinic's commitment is binary:
- If a child is born through the program, the process concludes as planned.
- If childbirth does not occur, the clinic states the full amount paid is refunded.
The website does not publish the detailed contractual terms behind this — for example, how "childbirth" is defined, what timeline applies, or what exclusions exist. Those specifics would need to be confirmed directly with the clinic before relying on the guarantee.
Why the guarantee is tied to egg donation
The clinic pairs the guarantee with egg donation rather than offering it for surrogacy alone. It also cites a success rate of minimum 80% with one attempt specifically for the egg donation + surrogacy combination. This suggests the guarantee is structured around the combination the clinic considers most reliable, not around surrogacy using the intended mother's own eggs.
Track record and context
- The clinic states the guaranteed childbirth program has operated since 2010.
- It says it handled the first case of a guaranteed childbirth program in the country, involving a US couple featured on Georgian TV news in 2011.
- It also claims the first surrogacy babies in the country were born through its work.
- The clinic describes its experience as spanning 2000–2024, with doctors having 25 years of experience in the field.
Legal point worth noting
The clinic states that under the Law of Georgia "On Health Protection," the surrogate mother and egg donor have no parental rights. This is relevant to the guarantee because it clarifies that the intended parents are the legal parents, which is typically a precondition for a program of this kind to function.
What to verify before committing
The website presents the guarantee in marketing terms. Before treating it as a binding commitment, confirm with the clinic:
- The exact definition of "childbirth" used in the contract.
- The refund timeline and process if the condition is triggered.
- Whether the fixed price covers all medical, legal and administrative costs, given the "no hidden fees" claim.
- What happens if the couple withdraws rather than the program failing.
- The full terms of the unlimited-attempts clause, including any time limits.
