Surrogacy Laws in Turkey

Legal work, recruitment of surrogate mothers, birth of babies and lawsuits all take place in the United States, while the actual preparation for IVF takes place in Cyprus. Cypriot legal guidelines no longer have a definition of surrogacy; Therefore, all documents created here in Cyprus have no legal basis (surrogacy for medical reasons is legal in northern Cyprus). That`s why we do all our surrogacy cases in the United States to make things one hundred percent legal and reliable. The reality that your IVF treatment takes place in Cyprus is something that diminishes the value and actually offers a greater chance of accomplishment. Surrogacy news has always been a hot topic in the Turkish media, whether it`s Turkish celebrities expressing a desire to have a child through a surrogate or unconfirmed reports that Kim Kardashian has hired a surrogate to give birth to her third child. But the recent spate of media news about surrogacy revolves around the introduction of a bill that would punish surrogates with two to five years in prison. Turkish Medical Services (TMS) explains what surrogacy is: Surrogacy is a procedure that can quickly become much easier to understand if you learn more at first. No! While different prices may apply with respect to the details of immigration and the final disposition of the baby, these costs are paid directly to the person(s) providing the services (surrogacy or immigration lawyers, etc.). We do not punish a couple who exist primarily because of their residence. Under no circumstances is there any foreign or foreign supplement charged by us.

From time to time, if important documents or consultation have been required to issue a temporary visa for hospital treatment, we charge a nominal fee for those additional efforts undertaken by us on behalf of a patient. Discussions about surrogacy in Turkey have even included polygamy. A controversy arose a few months ago when Sukran Sipka, a law professor at Istanbul`s Kemerburgaz University, insisted at a conference that “kuma,” a narrow-minded term for a second, often younger woman in a polygamous household, is a Turkish type of surrogacy. She explained that in Turkey, women who cannot have children are rejected, so husbands are advised to have a child by another woman. In official records, this child is registered with the name of the official wife, just as children born to surrogate mothers would be registered for her. At the time, Sipka called for new regulations to legalize surrogacy as a societal need for families who could benefit from medical advances but can`t due to legal loopholes. Sipka`s lyrics were seen as supporting the legalization of polygamy, while she denied any alleged support for Kuma, saying her words had been misquoted and misinterpreted. The adultery argument is a common basis for the prohibition of surrogacy within Sunni Islam, as a man`s sperm is inserted into the womb of a woman other than his wife, which is forbidden by verses in the Qur`an. Other reasons for banning surrogacy, according to Ruaim Muaygil, are “the preservation of filiation, the exclusion of third parties in reproduction, the preservation of the rights of the child and protection against the negative effects of surrogacy”.

On the other hand, more progressive professionals and academics like Muaygil clarify between traditional and gestational surrogacy, using Islamic law and bioethics alongside medical evidence to show that “surrogacy is not only in line with Sunni Islamic teachings, but also ethically justified and medically necessary.” The last paragraph of the draft adds that the sanctions provided for by law are applicable even if surrogacy takes place in a country where it is legal. Most U.S. states require that at least one of the intended parents be biologically related to the child born through surrogacy. So, as long as one of the intended parents has a biological link, the use of donor eggs or donor sperm is an alternative that can be made available to our patients. Some states allow surrogacy arrangements without biological link to the child (with egg and sperm donor). There are not many States that offer this option; Recruitment of surrogates will take longer. Sınar says Turkey has joined other countries in banning online advertising for surrogacy abroad, but “things work differently” in some countries like Ukraine, Georgia and Cyprus, where the surrogacy industry is thriving. The next law making surrogacy illegal in Turkey could be based on the bloodline preservation argument and reflect the ruling party`s moral and religious worldviews, but the threat of jail time cannot stop Turkish citizens desperate to become parents from seeking a solution in an illegal market. Once an appropriate game has been organized, the limiting question is to complete all the appropriate legal formalities. Once there is a signed surrogacy agreement, the cycles of the expectant mother (or egg donor/donor) and surrogate mother are analyzed and preparations are made to initiate the treatment cycle.

We are able to take into account the planning requirements of everyone involved in the process. Our affiliated clinics can usually meet any pairing or replacement planning requirements with modern cycle control techniques. However, the reasons are different, however, a solution is sought to find surrogate mothers through the services of surrogacy agencies in Turkey, which promote “packages” and refer to the process as “health tourism”. But the new law, reported by Hürriyet journalist Meltem Özgenc, aims to fill the grey area and completely ban surrogacy by Turkish citizens, including abroad. It also prohibits the “mediation”, “support”, “encouragement” or “promotion” of surrogacy. Surrogacy success rates can be very remarkable, especially in countries with high-quality facilities, including Cyprus. However, this is also due to the country`s legislative platform that determines how it can be dealt with. Cyprus-America Surrogacy Offerings (CASS) is a unique surrogacy program where legal processes are organized with our American partners “The Surrogacy organisation” in the United States within the framework of the United States legal system. Surrogacy laws are virtually defined in the United States, and the legal machine is well-equipped to meet criminal necessities in a surrogacy arrangement. Therefore, we ensure that your “replacement recruitment”, “surrogacy contract”, “baby birth” and “legal proceedings” are handled with the help of our US partners, so that the legal work is regulated by the legal system of the United States in order to provide you with a reliable contract. The real IVF treatment takes place in Cyprus, with your surrogate traveling to Cyprus for the embryo change method. The price of IVF treatment is significantly lower than in America; Therefore, the total price of your surrogacy software turns out to be much lower than a surrogacy association in a US healthcare facility.
