The country is conveniently located in Europe and allows easy travel from various parts of the world. Continue reading to learn about the process, costs, and legislation of surrogacy in Albania.
Surrogacy law in Albania is currently unregulated, and potential supportive legislation is under review. Albanian legislation does not specify whether it is permitted for gay couples to become parents through surrogacy either. At the same time, surrogacy agreements are legally binding, and courts will uphold them if both parties sign in good faith and with the advice of an attorney.
There is one legal limitation concerning surrogacy in Albania: only gestational surrogacy is permitted where the surrogate is not biologically related to the child. In this case, the biological material from intended parents or donors is used to create embryos, which are then transferred into a surrogate’s uterus.
