Eligibility for surrogacy depends on the country where the program is carried out. In many cases, surrogacy is available to people who have medical contraindications to pregnancy, a history of repeated unsuccessful IVF attempts, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Whether married couples, unmarried partners, same-sex couples, or single people can access surrogacy depends on the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
Relationships with a surrogate mother are not a side effect of the program, but one of the key factors in its success.
In 2026, the idea of finding cheaper surrogacy services is very understandable. The financial downturn and constantly rising medical costs make an already expensive programme even more difficult for intended parents to access. But in the search for cheap surrogacy, you can lose the most important thing – the birth of your long-awaited child and a lot of money.
By 2026, surrogacy in Greece remains not only legal, but also a detailed regulated process.
The question of whether a surrogate mother is biologically related to the child is key for all future parents. The child is genetically related exclusively to his biological parents or 50% to donors, and the surrogate mother provides only temporary physiological support.
In 2026, in vitro fertilization (IVF) provides the basic standard for the most accurate assessment of embryo quality and potential – preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which includes PGT-M (detection of monogenic diseases) and PGT-A (aneuploidy screening).
How soon you can find out the sex of the baby is the only reliable answer: at 9-10 weeks of pregnancy using a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) with > accuracy of 99%.
