2. How to widen the gap in costs? An in-depth analysis of the budget structures of the three countries

🇬🇪 Georgia

About RMB 600,000–900,000

Georgia's medical system is relatively complete, and the cost is slightly higher than that of Kyrgyzstan. The main reason is that the local cost of living and medical supporting expenses are higher. Georgia's surrogacy laws have a long history and the process is standardized, but it is only open to married couples, limiting the scope of the applicable population.

🇺🇸 United States (California/Nevada, etc.)

Approximately 1.5-2.5 million RMB

The cost of surrogacy in the United States is high because the compensation for surrogacy volunteers (approximately 400,000-600,000 yuan), lawyer fees, insurance premiums, and medical expenses are much higher than in other countries. But correspondingly, the legal protection is the strongest, the medical level is the highest, and the child obtains U.S. citizenship upon birth.

3. In-depth comparison of legal protection: Which country has higher certainty?

Kyrgyzstan: The new law is clear and notarization is guaranteed

The new law in 2024 (Article 104 of the Citizen Health Protection Law) clarifies that surrogacy is legal, and the contract is signed by a notary office to have full legal effect. The surrogate mother does not enjoy legal parental rights. Open to foreign clients and standardized procedures.

Georgia: long history and well-established lawyer system

Georgia's surrogacy laws have been in operation for many years, the lawyer system is mature, and the birth certificate can directly register the client as the parent. But only for married couples, and medical necessity must be proven (that is, the client woman cannot become pregnant naturally).

The United States: The legal protection is the strongest, but the most complex

The United States (especially California) has the most complete legal system for surrogacy: the court can issue a "parental order" before the child is born to confirm the legal parentage of the client. Applicable to the widest group of people, including same-sex couples. However, the process is the most complicated, the lawyers are most involved, and the fees are also the highest.
