Surrogacy in South Africa is a carefully regulated journey with clear legal and ethical guidelines designed to protect everyone involved, especially the child. Whether you're a hopeful parent or a potential surrogate, understanding how this step-by-step process works is essential. From High Court approval to post-birth handover, each phase is grounded in transparency, consent and medical oversight. Unlike many countries, only altruistic surrogacy is legal in South Africa, meaning surrogates cannot be paid beyond medical and related expenses. Find out exactly what’s required to begin this extraordinary journey and how the law supports your path to parenthood.
