On 12 June 2023, the Georgian Prime Minister announced that surrogacy in Georgia will be prohibited for overseas intended parents, with only Georgian citizens able to access it.

Georgia has become increasingly popular among international intended parents following the war in Ukraine, as one of only a few countries with a clear surrogacy law framework which recognises the intended parents as the legal parents from birth.
