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.

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, the optimal age threshold for surrogacy is from 21 to 39 years (inclusive), while the upper age threshold for surrogacy is 40 years in leading clinics.

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).

In 2025, couples from EU countries where surrogacy is prohibited continue to look for reliable options for reproductive medicine programs abroad.

In 2026, expectant parents do not always understand the difference between gestational and traditional surrogacy.

Surrogacy in Colombia in 2026, against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and legislative changes in Georgia, Greece and Argentina, is being actively promoted as a form of reproductive tourism.

Despite the long history of gestational surrogacy (the first case dates back to 1985), there are still many myths surrounding the procedure that cast a shadow on the facts about surrogacy.

The decision to involve a surrogate mother in the reproductive program requires being well-informed and conducting a balanced analysis of multiple factors.
