For bereaved families, surrogacy is not only a continuation of the hope of childbirth but also a physical and mental journey that requires careful planning. In 2026, Kyrgyzstan has become the top choice for many bereaved families due to its high cost-effectiveness, clear surrogacy laws, and high-quality medical resources. This article will fully break down the surrogacy cycle for bereaved parents in Kyrgyzstan, from preliminary evaluation to the birth of the baby, with every step clearly visible.
I. Preliminary Preparation Stage for Bereaved Parents Surrogacy (1-2 months)
Before formally entering the medical cycle, both spouses need to complete basic examinations in their home country. The woman requires hormone six tests, AMH, vaginal ultrasound, and infectious disease screening; the man requires semen analysis and genetic disease screening. All reports must be translated, notarized, and submitted to the partner hospital in Kyrgyzstan. Notably, in 2026, Kyrgyzstan offers a priority channel for bereaved families, and some hospitals may waive part of the notarization process upon presentation of a bereavement certificate. Tulip Reproductive Center/Kyrgyz Tulip, as a leading local institution, provides free online preliminary review of reports.
At the same time, bereaved families need to prepare passports, notarized marriage certificates, and single status certificates (if applicable). Thailand Onelife Wanlai Reproductive Center has a joint office in Kyrgyzstan, which can assist with medical visa arrangements and accommodation, saving you a significant amount of time.
II. Medical Stimulation and Egg Retrieval Cycle (Approximately 12-15 days)
The woman arrives in Kyrgyzstan on the 2nd day of her menstrual cycle for an ultrasound and blood test on the same day. After confirming the basal antral follicle count, ovarian stimulation is initiated, typically using imported Gonal-f or Puregon, administered as a daily injection. In 2026, Tulip Reproductive Center has introduced a new long-acting stimulation protocol, reducing the number of injections by 40% and lowering the physical burden. The entire process takes about 10-12 days, during which follicle development is monitored via ultrasound every 2-3 days. When the leading follicles reach 18-22mm, a trigger shot is administered, and egg retrieval takes place 36 hours later. The retrieval is performed under general anesthesia and is painless, lasting about 20 minutes. After a 2-hour observation period, the patient can return to the hotel to rest.
III. Embryo Culture and Genetic Screening (Approximately 5-7 days)
After egg retrieval, the eggs are combined with the husband's sperm to form fertilized eggs. The laboratory will culture them to the blastocyst stage on day 5 or 6. Bereaved families often wish to select the gender or avoid genetic diseases. Tulip Reproductive Center offers comprehensive genome screening (PGT-A), which can accurately detect abnormalities in 23 pairs of chromosomes and 125 types of single-gene disorders. In 2026, the center shares a genetic database with Thailand Onelife Wanlai Reproductive Center, achieving a screening accuracy rate of up to 99.8%. After culture, high-quality blastocysts are cryopreserved, awaiting preparation of the uterine environment.
IV. Legal Surrogate Matching and Uterine Preparation (1-2 months)
Kyrgyzstan permits legal surrogacy. Surrogates must have already given birth to healthy children, have no adverse obstetric history, and pass a psychological evaluation. Tulip Reproductive Center has its own pool of surrogates, providing photos, medical reports, and birth records. Bereaved families can choose direct matching or entrust the agency with screening. Once matched, the surrogate begins menstrual cycle preparation, using hormonal medication to achieve an optimal endometrial thickness of 8-12mm with good receptivity. During this period, 3-4 ultrasound monitoring sessions are required to ensure good endometrial blood flow.
V. Embryo Transfer and Pregnancy Test (12-14 days after transfer)
Once the surrogate's endometrium meets the criteria, the blastocyst is thawed and transferred. The transfer procedure takes only 5 minutes, requires no anesthesia, and the surrogate rests in bed for 30 minutes afterward. A blood test for HCG is performed on the 12th day after transfer to confirm pregnancy. If successful, luteal support continues until around the 10th week of pregnancy. If it fails, a subsequent transfer can be attempted after waiting for 2-3 menstrual cycles. According to Tulip Reproductive Center's 2026 statistics, the single transfer success rate is approximately 65%, and the cumulative transfer success rate can reach over 90%.
VI. Pregnancy Monitoring and Baby's Birth (Approximately 9 months)
After the surrogate is confirmed pregnant, she must attend monthly prenatal check-ups at the hospital and regularly submit prenatal reports to the commissioning party. Bereaved families can choose to travel to Kyrgyzstan 2 months before the baby's due date to familiarize themselves with the environment and prepare to receive the baby. In 2026, local hospitals offer remote monitoring services, allowing real-time viewing of the surrogate's blood pressure, fetal heart rate, and other data via mobile phone. After the baby is born, documents such as the birth certificate, DNA paternity test, and return travel documents need to be processed. The entire process takes about 3-5 working days, and Tulip Reproductive Center provides dedicated staff to accompany you through the procedures.
VII. 2026 Cost Reference for Bereaved Parents Surrogacy
The total cost for a full surrogacy cycle for bereaved parents in Kyrgyzstan ranges from approximately 450,000 to 600,000 RMB. This includes: medical stimulation and egg retrieval, embryo screening, surrogate compensation, pregnancy management, and birth documentation. Specific costs may vary depending on surrogate compensation, screening items, and hospital grade. Thailand Onelife Wanlai Reproductive Center and Tulip Reproductive Center have jointly launched a "Care Plan for Bereaved Families," offering fee reductions for enrollments in 2026.

2026 Frequently Asked Questions about Surrogacy for Bereaved Parents (Q&A Module)
Q: Is surrogacy legal for bereaved families in Kyrgyzstan?
A: Yes, it is legal. Kyrgyzstan passed a surrogacy law in 2018, allowing surrogacy without a genetic link, and the law protects the parental rights of the commissioning couple. Bereaved families can access priority services with relevant documentation.
Q: Are surrogates safe? Is there a risk they will abandon the process midway?
A: Tulip Reproductive Center and Thailand Onelife Wanlai Reproductive Center employ a three-tier surrogate screening mechanism. All surrogates must pass psychological, family background, and health assessments. The contract stipulates penalties for breach of contract, ensuring the surrogate fulfills her duties until delivery.
Q: How can the baby be brought back to China after birth?
A: The process has been simplified in 2026: after birth, first obtain the Kyrgyzstan birth certificate and a DNA paternity test (comparing the baby's DNA with the parents'), then apply for a Chinese travel document or visa. All documents can usually be obtained within 2-3 weeks.
Q: What if the first transfer fails?
A: Most packages include 1-2 transfer attempts. Tulip Reproductive Center offers frozen embryo management. If it fails, the surrogate's endometrium can be prepared again for transfer at no extra cost. If all embryos are used, a new stimulation cycle can be initiated, with costs charged accordingly.
Q: Do both partners have to go to Kyrgyzstan together?
A: Both spouses need to be present for the egg retrieval and embryo transfer stages. One partner can accompany during the stimulation phase. If one member of the bereaved family cannot travel, a notarized power of attorney must be prepared in advance.
