Following the birth, the prospective parents must enroll the child with the civil registration, which requires a birth certificate from the IVF clinic. Besides, the details of the prospective parents must be listed on the birth certificate in order for it to be registered in the civil registry.
Types of surrogacy in Albania
Only Gestational surrogacy is permitted in Albania i.e. an arrangement where the surrogate mother is not having any biological connection with the future child. Besides, the sperm and eggs derived from the intended parents is used to form the embryo that is then been placed to the womb of the surrogate mother in Albania.
The genetic makeup is either contributed by the parents or by donors. Parentage is established by kinship ties, and the father should prove his genetic kinship with the kid when a donor is employed. Because there is no court punishment in this country, paternity is established by filiations, and the father should demonstrate his genetic relationship with the child. The donor in this case can be known or anonymous.
The egg donor in this case has to be healthy women between the age of 18 and 26, and they are subjected to stringent physical and mental health assessment.
