The option of Surrogacy can play a significant role for couples facing medical or social obstacles in achieving their dream of parenthood. In this procedure, a third person, a surrogate mother, carries a pregnancy for the intended parents. It is a complex yet promising opportunity to achieve parenthood.
Surrogacy refers to a treatment in which an embryo – created from the fertilization of the intended mother’s or a donor’s eggs with the partner’s or a donor’s sperm – is transferred into another woman’s uterus. This woman, the surrogate mother, carries the embryo and enables the couple to become parents.
Surrogacy is mainly considered when the intended mother lacks a uterus or cannot become pregnant due to medical reasons without endangering her life.
The process begins with an IVF treatment using the eggs and/or sperm of the couple. Simultaneously, the uterine lining of the surrogate mother is prepared with carefully selected medications to create the best conditions for embryo implantation. The embryo is then transferred into the surrogate mother’s uterus under precise ultrasound guidance.

Legal Requirements for Surrogacy in Cyprus Surrogacy in Cyprus is subject to specific legal provisions introduced in May 2015. These regulations mainly apply to married couples or couples in registered partnerships residing in Cyprus. It’s important to note that currently, non-Cypriots cannot undergo surrogacy treatment in Cyprus. Changes in legislation are under preparation.
