GREECE allows foreign citizens to carry out surrogacy processes since the second half of 2015. In Greece, surrogacy processes have been carried out since 2004, but only for residents in the country.
GREECE offers the advantage of obtaining a court ruling for surrogacy, which together with the birth certificate, both documents in the name of the two intending parents, allows the registration of the child. Some agencies, mainly those that market the USA as a destination, they have seen a dangerous competitor in Greece, and are dedicated to discrediting this destination, as the only way to safeguard their interests. The consulate of Spain in Athens, has guaranteed the registration of children born in Greece by surrogacy, with a judicial sentence of a country of the EEC. Furthermore, Greece is within the Schengen area, so we do not have to cross borders with the baby.In this country, surrogacy can only be performed in heterosexual couples (married or unmarried) as well as single women, totally excluding homosexual couples ir single men seeking fatherhood.
