Surrogacy in Albania

Surrogacy in Albania: Costs and Legalities

Albania is a popular surrogacy destination for same-sex couples, singles, and heterosexual couples due to medical and fertility tourism. 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. 

Is Surrogacy Legal 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.

How Does Surrogacy Work in Albania?

If you’re considering Albania for surrogacy, here’s what to expect from the process with WCOB:

 

  1. Before starting the process, we will meet for an initial consultation with you, during which we will discuss your needs, preferences, and any medical history that might impact the process. We will also ask you about your surrogacy dreams, goals, and fears. We’ve developed the initial consultation to get to know you and your story and to work on our mutual plan to achieve your goal. Feel free to ask any questions and address any concerns you might have.

  1. Immediately after the initial consultation, we will find you a surrogate fitting your criteria. Our matching process is designed to find the best compatible option for you. It’s essential for us that you feel comfortable verbalizing your preferences and concerns about your future surrogate.

  1. After you are matched with the compatible surrogate, both you and the surrogate will undergo thorough medical testing to ensure you are free from infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and other health issues affecting the pregnancy or the baby.

Meanwhile, our legal team will work on a legal contract outlining the surrogacy arrangement's rights, responsibilities, expectations, and compensation.

  1. The next step is when we start working on embryo transfer, pregnancy, and childbirth. You or, if needed, our donors will provide genetic material through in-vitro fertilization (IVF). In Albania, you can choose your egg donor locally or from other countries.

Then, skilled embryologists will fertilize the eggs with sperm, creating embryos with the potential to develop into healthy babies. The resulting embryo(s) is/are then transferred to your surrogate's uterus, marking the start of the pregnancy. Throughout this critical phase, we provide regular monitoring and medical care to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Commercial Surrogacy in Albania

Albania is one of the few countries where commercial surrogacy is not prohibited by law, which makes the process smoother for intended parents. This is one of the reasons why Albania has been at the top of the list for people pursuing surrogacy. 

 

Commercial or compensated surrogacy assumes that the surrogate receives additional payment for her services apart from expenses during pregnancy.

To Sum Up

Surrogacy law in Albania is currently unregulated, and potential supportive legislation is under review. The country’s law neither supports nor bans surrogacy, which allows for a smooth legal process for intended parents. Only gestational surrogacy, in which the surrogate has no biological connection to the future child, is permitted.

Albania is located close to other European countries, and the surrogacy process is less expensive compared to other destinations. In Albania, we also offer shorter wait times due to the variety of local and international donors.

 

With WCOB, we offer an easy four-stage process to parenthood: initial consultation, surrogacy matching, medical testing and legal, embryo transfer, pregnancy, and childbirth. We support the intended parents and a surrogate throughout the entire process.
