Surrogacy in Albania is a possible option for couples and individuals who cannot afford the very expensive surrogacy services and medical support available in other European countries. In many cases, especially in the USA and Canada, companies offering surrogacy services, through advertising and through their connections with parents who are financially supported by them (i.e. not held to fair standards), claim that the USA is the only realistic, serious and reliable place to turn to.

Surrogacy in Albania — what should expectant parents know?

Surrogacy in Albania is not regulated, permitted and not restricted. Therefore, any couple or person, regardless of their sexual orientation, can apply for surrogacy.

One of the main advantages of applying to surrogacy clinics in Albania is that the cost of services is lower than in other countries such as the UK and USA. Due to the proximity of Albania to other European countries, many couples choose surrogacy in Albania because of the low prices of surrogacy and modern medical facilities.

Is surrogacy legal in Albania?

In Albania, there are no normative acts regulating surrogacy or surrogacy agencies. According to Article 261 of the Family Code of Albania, surrogacy is subject to the same rules as adoption. This means that surrogacy in Albania requires an adoption procedure. This, like in many other countries, requires the approval of the adoption commission and a court hearing. Albanian law on surrogacy means that obtaining full legal custody and travel documents for a child after birth may take longer.

The surrogacy contract is the only contract that defines the relationship between the surrogate mother and surrogate parent. However, it is not clear whether such a contract is binding and what happens if the surrogate changes her mind. Therefore, both parties must act in good faith. In addition, in the birth of a child through surrogacy, a civil birth certificate is issued in the name of the woman giving birth and the genetic father of the child, as there is no established way of obtaining a birth certificate.

Surrogacy in Albania is a process

After a child is born, parents must register the child as a citizen, for which they ll need to obtain a birth certificate from an IVF clinic.

Types of surrogacy in Albania

In Albania, only gestational surrogacy -an arrangement in which the surrogate mother has no biological connection to the future child-is allowed. The sperm and eggs of the intended parents are used to create an embryo, which is then returned to the surrogate’s uterus in Albania. The genetic makeup is determined by the parents or the donor. The blood relationship is established through parentage, and if a donor is to be involved, the father must prove his genetic relationship to the child.

Since there are no judicial sanctions, paternity is established by descent, and the father must prove his genetic relationship to the child. In this case, the donor can be known or anonymous.

The egg donor must be a healthy woman between 18 and 26 years of age who has undergone a rigorous physical and mental health examination.

Cost of surrogacy in Albania

The cost of surrogacy in Albania varies greatly between different consultants and agencies. It also depends on various aspects such as the number of IVF cycles, the cost of IVF drugs and the cost of surrogacy in Albania.
