Surrogacy legislation differs around countries. Some states ban it, some support. Russia is one of the best choices for intended parents, considering going surrogacy programs as treatment for infertility. In this short post I will overview the main points of taking surrogacy program in Russia. 1) Russian laws on surrogacy The use of assisted reproductive technologies in Russia is regulated by the federal law on healthcare. Who can apply for surrogacy programs in Russia? According to the healthcare law of Russia surrogacy is considered as a medical technology for infertility treatment. It is available for a couple (a man and a woman) or a single woman, having medical indications for taking part in the surrogacy program. Who can become a surrogate mother? According to the law, a woman from 20 to 35 y.o. having at least one child of her own. How complicated is the surrogacy process? It has a regular number of steps which are clearly described by the law. For better coordination of the process it is recommended to use the help of surrogacy facilitators for international parents such as specialized agencies which will provide overall informational, legal and organizational support. How do biological parents become legal parents? The process of getting an official birth certificate with names of biological parents is clear. First, the surrogate gives her notarized agreement for baby having names of his biological parents in the birth certificate. Second, intended parents get official confirmations from the clinic, having processed their surrogacy treatment. Third, parents get the birth certificate, based on the previous documents, and become legal parents. The number of babies born through surrogacy for international families is growing year by year. 2) The quality of medical service in Russia Russia has got a high level of the quality of medical assistance, the reproductive and fertility sphere included. There are best clinics and skilled medical professionals due to a long history of assisted reproductive technologies in Russia. The first "surrogate" babies (twin girls) were born in 1995 in St-Petersburg. This city is recognized as the "capital of ART" (assisted reproductive technologies) in Russia. 3) Geographical benefits of doing surrogacy in Russia Most fertility clinics and surrogacy agencies are located in Moscow and St-Petersburg. These are two capitals of Russia situated in the European part of the country, which is hardly farther than 3 hours flight from any capital city in EU. 4) Financial costs of doing surrogacy program in Russia The average total cost of the full cycle of surrogacy in Russia varies from 35 000 euros to 60 000 euros, depending on the services included and number of IVF tries. In comparison to other countries, Russia has a high quality and middle price ranges for surrogacy programs.
