What Is Unique About the Egg Donation Program at surrogacy.ge?

Updated

The egg donation program at surrogacy.ge is built around three features that are uncommon in many clinics: donors are non-anonymous, the intended couple can meet the donor in person, and the donor's DNA testing is allowed. The program also states that egg donation comes with an unlimited quantity of eggs, and the clinic works from its own in-house database of egg donors and surrogate mothers. These conditions apply to the clinic's egg donation services as described on its site; specific medical eligibility and matching criteria are set during consultation.

Non-anonymous donors instead of anonymous ones

The clinic describes its egg donors as non-anonymous. This means the donation is not structured to keep the donor's identity permanently hidden from the intended parents.

For intended parents, this changes what information and contact may be available compared with a fully anonymous donation model. The clinic states that the couple can meet with the donor, which is the practical expression of the non-anonymous approach.

DNA testing of the donor is allowed

A second distinctive point is that donor DNA testing is allowed. This gives intended parents the option to obtain genetic information about the donor rather than relying only on the clinic's screening.

If genetic background matters to your decision — for example, because you want to review heritable conditions or ancestry information — this is a feature to confirm and arrange during the consultation, since the clinic presents it as an allowed option rather than an automatic step.

Meeting both the donor and the surrogate mother

The clinic states that the couple can meet with both the egg donor and the surrogate mother. In programs where donors and surrogates remain anonymous, this kind of direct meeting is not possible.

Meeting the donor and the surrogate mother in person lets intended parents:

  • Put a face and a person behind the donation rather than working only through the clinic
  • Ask questions directly during the process
  • Make a more informed decision about matching

Unlimited quantity of eggs

The egg donation program is described as offering an unlimited quantity of eggs. This matters because egg donation cycles can vary in how many usable eggs are produced, and some programs cap the number provided.

The clinic pairs this with a stated success rate of a minimum of 80% with one attempt for the combined egg donation plus surrogacy program. That figure is the clinic's own claim and applies to that combined program, not to egg donation in isolation.

The clinic's own donor and surrogate database

Rather than sourcing donors externally, surrogacy.ge maintains its own database of surrogate mothers and egg donors. Working from an in-house database is presented as one of the clinic's advantages.

For intended parents, an internal database generally means the clinic controls screening, matching, and record-keeping for the donors it offers. It is worth asking during consultation how donors enter the database, what screening they undergo, and how matching is handled.

How these features fit together

Feature What it means for intended parents
Non-anonymous donors Donor identity is not permanently withheld
DNA testing allowed Genetic information about the donor can be requested
Meeting donor and surrogate Direct in-person contact is possible
Unlimited eggs No stated cap on the number of eggs in the donation program
Own database Donors and surrogates are managed in-house by the clinic

What to confirm before deciding

The clinic offers free consultations until the contract is concluded, and contact languages include Georgian, English, and Russian. Use that stage to pin down the details that the website describes only in general terms:

  • Exactly what identifying information about the donor you will receive, and when
  • How DNA testing is arranged, who pays for it, and what the results cover
  • How the "unlimited quantity of eggs" works in practice across cycles
  • How donors are screened before entering the clinic's database
  • What the fixed price includes, since the clinic states there are no hidden fees

The clinic also notes that under the Law of Georgia "On Health Protection," the surrogate mother and egg donor have no parental rights — a point worth reviewing alongside the legal section of the site.
