EnglishHow New Life Georgia Selects and Cares for Surrogate Mothers
Updated
New Life Georgia selects surrogate mothers from what it describes as a large database of Georgian surrogates, supplemented by surrogates of other nationalities such as Ukrainian, Mexican, and Indian women. Once a surrogate is matched with intended parents, the program provides psychological counseling, ongoing guidance, and medical care with the stated goal of creating the conditions for a healthy birth. The website does not publish its specific screening criteria, medical prerequisites, or the full matching process, so those details should be confirmed directly with the provider before you commit.
Where the surrogates come from
New Life presents two pools of candidates:
- Georgian surrogates — the core of the program, based in Tbilisi, where the affiliated fertility clinic operates.
- Surrogates of other nationalities — the site names Ukraine, Mexico, and India among the countries of origin represented in its network.
The practical implication is that intended parents are not limited to one nationality of surrogate. Which pool applies to a given case, and how nationality affects the legal position of the child, is a question for the provider and your own legal advisor — the homepage does not spell this out.
What the care program includes
The site describes surrogate care as a structured package built around three elements:
- Psychological counseling — support for the surrogate through the process.
- Constant guidance — ongoing supervision rather than a one-time handoff.
- Proper medical care — delivered through the affiliated fertility clinic in Tbilisi, which the site says offers IVF, egg donation, PGD, ICSI, MESA, and TESE.
The stated objective is to give each surrogate "the best possible conditions required for a successful birth of a healthy baby." In other words, the care program is framed as a risk-reduction measure for the pregnancy, not just a courtesy to the surrogate.
The clinic behind the medical care
Because the medical side of surrogate care runs through New Life's own fertility clinic in Georgia, the same facility handles the IVF cycle, any egg donation, and embryo screening (PGD/PGS) before transfer. The site also lists surrogacy for HIV-positive intended parents among its services, which implies the clinic has protocols for that situation — but the specifics are not published and should be asked about directly.
What the site does not tell you
The homepage is marketing material, and several things a prospective parent would want to know are absent:
| Question | What the site says |
|---|---|
| Screening criteria for surrogates (age, health history, prior births) | Not published |
| How surrogates are matched with intended parents | Not published |
| Compensation arrangements for surrogates | Not published |
| Nationality rules and their legal effect | Not published |
| Success rates specific to surrogacy (vs. general IVF claims) | Only general claims, no breakdown |
The site does make two broader claims that bear on trust: that New Life babies account for 89% of surrogacy baby registrations at Georgia's Public Registry, citing Ministry of Justice data, and that the organization has been involved in more than 11,000 births. These are the provider's own figures and are worth verifying independently if they matter to your decision.
Questions to ask before choosing a surrogate program
Because the published information stops at the level of "we screen and care for surrogates," the useful next step is a direct conversation. Ask specifically:
- What medical and psychological screening does a surrogate undergo before matching, and can you see the protocol?
- How is the surrogate's nationality decided for my case, and what does that mean for the legal parentage process?
- Who provides the psychological counseling, and how often does the surrogate see them during pregnancy?
- What happens if the surrogate withdraws, or if the pregnancy is not successful — how does the guarantee program (if chosen) apply?
- Can you speak with the clinic directly about the medical protocol for my situation?
The site advertises free face-to-face consultations in several European and Middle Eastern cities on set dates, and free airport pickup, translator services, and nanny matching for clients — these are reasonable occasions to put the screening and care questions to a representative in person.
Bottom line
New Life Georgia offers a defined surrogate care package — counseling, guidance, and clinic-based medical care — drawn from a database that includes Georgian women and surrogates from several other countries. That is enough to know the shape of the service, but not enough to judge its rigor. Treat the screening criteria and matching process as open questions, and get them answered in writing before proceeding.
