Cambodia

Cambodia is a country in the South-sea. Vietnam and Thailand are their surrounding countries. In Cambodia, surrogacy was never regulated. It was neither permitted nor restricted. It was the most liberal country with regard to surrogacy. Many surrogate mothers also came from there. 

When India, Nepal and Thailand, banned surrogacy, Cambodia became the hub for “fertility tourism”. However, everything changed after 2016. What, you must be wondering? Keep reading, you will know. 

Is surrogacy legal in Cambodia?

Surrogacy has been banned in Cambodia since November 2016. All the local authorities and medical professionals have to follow the ruling in a strict manner. Other ART techniques are allowed but surrogacy is totally banned from the territories of Cambodia. 

So, now what? Will your dream of becoming a parent never come true? Don’t worry there are alternatives for you. Let’s see what are they.

What is the alternative for surrogacy in Cambodia?

If you are a Cambodian couple and want to go for surrogacy, the best countries are Kenya and Ukraine. In both countries, there are favorable policies and medical facilities. Can get the best surrogacy assistance there. 

Surrogacy in Kenya– For the start, in Kenya, the laws are supportive as well as affordable for surrogacy. In Kenya, even single parents can go for surrogacy. In Kenya, the intended parents are given the status of parents even before the child is born. 

In Kenya, the surrogacy cost can range between $45,000 to $60,000. In Kenya, if you find it costly or can’t travel there for some reason, you can even send frozen sperms or embryos for the process.

Surrogacy in Ukraine- In Ukraine, surrogacy is fully permissible. In Ukraine, there would be no problem in getting the parentage of the child for the intended parents. Overall surrogacy cost would be around $42,000. However, here, only heterosexual couples are permitted to go for surrogacy.
