In modern society, the birth of a child is one of the goals of the emergence of a marital union, which is encouraged and supported in every possible way by both society and the state. In a situation where the birth of a baby is impossible for medical reasons (infertility), the achievement of the designated goal becomes extremely difficult. In such a situation, one of the solutions is to implement surrogacy. It is becoming extremely popular today.
In this review, we will characterize the specifics of surrogacy in Cyprus, and also describe the requirements that apply to a surrogate mother from/in Cyprus. If you would like any further information on the subject of surrogacy in Cyprus (cost of the program, if the price is fixed, if there are any additional money fees, who can get a discount, how does it work, how much time it requires, what is your main rights, etc.), visit the website worldcenterofbaby.com/countries/cyprus/ of the agency World Center of Baby, since using its services is rather beneficial.
General Features of the Surrogacy Process in Cyprus
According to the best experts of the clinic World Center of Baby, surrogacy in Cyprus is not regulated by law. Agencies working in this area are very careful about drafting the surrogacy agreement since this is a single document that regulates relations with a surrogate mother.
Regardless of the provisions of the surrogacy agreement, the surrogate woman will be considered the legal mom of a child born out of wedlock. A genetic link to an alleged dad can be established genetically through DNA analysis or medical records from a reproductive clinic. Thus, a child can be registered in the name of a surrogate mother and genetic dad by his voluntary recognition or a court decision. The next step for intended parents is the adoption of the child through a court hearing.
The surrogacy cost in Cyprus is around US $ 60,000. Most often, married couples use this expensive maternal program. LGBT (gay men, bisexual, etc.) also have this right, however, they often worry about being ridiculed.
What Are the Requirements for a Surrogate Mother?
Pay attention that surrogate moms can be female representatives who voluntarily agree to participate in the program. Requirements for surrogate mothers:
- Age from 20 to 35 years old;
- Having own healthy child;
- Perfect mental and somatic health.
Contraindications for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer into the uterine cavity in the surrogacy program and both examinations of a married couple are the same as in vitro fertilization, in particular:
- Somatic and mental illnesses that are contraindications for carrying pregnancy and childbirth;
- Congenital malformations or acquired deformities of the uterine cavity, in which it is impossible to implant embryos or carry a pregnancy;
- Acute inflammatory diseases of any localization, etc.
