Editorial revision: 2026-10-04. Untraceable price estimates and citizenship guarantees were removed. Individual legal advice requires the project state, rules applicable at birth and family records.
A U.S. surrogacy programme combines state law, clinical care, agreements, insurance and documents after birth. Identify the project state, carrier residence and expected place of birth before obtaining clinical, legal and cost assessments.
Gestational agreements and parentage procedures vary by state. Nevada NRS 126 addresses agreements, participant conditions and parentage; California Family Code section 7962 is a separate state reference. Review jurisdiction, clinical indications, gamete sources and residence arrangements. A single, partnered or married applicant is assessed under the selected state's complete conditions.
Ask counsel to identify independent representation, the sequence of signing and clinical treatment, the competent court, any pre- or post-birth procedure, vital-record requirements and destination recognition. Hospitals, courts and vital-records offices have separate roles.
The agreement also covers informed consent, the carrier's medical autonomy, financial support, insurance exclusions, disputes and unexpected events. Clinical decisions involve the person receiving care and their treating team under applicable rules; agency coordination should be distinguished from clinical and legal services.
U.S. citizenship depends on the federal rules and court orders applicable at birth and the individual facts. This page gives no automatic-citizenship promise or citizenship investment claim. A state parentage order, birth record, U.S. passport, Chinese nationality and Chinese travel document each have separate requirements.
Before payment, prepare parental nationality, residence and relationship records, gamete-source information, expected birthplace and the parentage plan for U.S. counsel and the intended consular or registration authority. See the nationality and birth-document guide and China return-document guide.
Matching, embryo preparation, transfer outcomes, pregnancy and document processing affect duration. A schedule should state the responsible provider, prerequisite records, estimated window and cost of delay. See the U.S. cost breakdown.
Use the same family facts and cost scope for each country. Kyrgyzstan requires review of nationality, residence, clinical conditions and applicable procedures. Georgia's Order 598 includes relationship evidence for a man and woman married for at least one year or in continuous actual cohabitation for at least one year, with cohabitation evidence reviewed by a notary. Other eligibility, registration and cross-border requirements also apply.
Continue with the Kyrgyzstan pathway, Georgia guide and country cost comparison. Any advertised protection should be tied to a contract duty, insurance policy or specified professional service.
The state statutes below concern gestational agreements and parentage; the Georgian order concerns relationship evidence. They do not provide programme prices. Independent counsel in the relevant jurisdiction should confirm applicable text, procedure and recent court decisions before signing.
