Prenatal Paternity Test: Certainty and Peace of Mind in Every Step of the Surrogacy Journey

As surrogacy becomes an increasingly sought-after option for intended parents around the world, it is essential to continuously update and strengthen the protocols that make it possible. Gestational surrogacy is not an isolated medical treatment, but rather a multidisciplinary process that brings together scientific, social, logistical, and legal aspects. And above all, it is based on a clear and respectful agreement between the intended parents and the surrogate mother.

What Is a Prenatal Paternity Test?

Prenatal paternity testing is a non-invasive genetic analysis that confirms the biological relationship between the intended father and the baby from the early stages of pregnancy—without posing any risk to the surrogate or the baby.

In gestational surrogacy treatments, this procedure adds an extra layer of security and transparency. It involves a blood sample from the surrogate and a sample from the intended father. It is completely safe and provides reliable results starting from the 10th week of pregnancy.

Why Is This Test So Important in the Context of Surrogacy?

Beyond providing genetic certainty to intended parents, prenatal paternity testing plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrogacy process and protecting the rights of the minor.

Its implementation significantly reduces emotional and legal risks, and strengthens various aspects of the surrogacy program. With this genetic evidence available from the early stages of pregnancy, the process moves forward with greater clarity, security, and trust.

Key benefits include:

• Strengthening trust and transparency between intended parents and the surrogate.

  
  

• Preventing the abandonment or rejection of the child due to doubts about genetic parentage.

• Protecting the minor’s rights, ensuring they are not placed in a state of legal or social vulnerability.

  
  

• Streamlining legal and administrative processes, such as birth registration or obtaining citizenship—especially in international surrogacy arrangements.

  
  

For intended parents, this test is a valuable tool that provides peace of mind, legal and emotional reassurance, and allows them to move forward on their path to parenthood with greater confidence and security.
