Surrogates and adoption in Germany

In this article, we communicate about everything related to surrogates in Germany for our pride series. Many parents who are unable to have biological children, including gay men, might think about surrogacy for their family planning. But, it’s important to observe that surrogacy isn’t only illegal in Germany, but it’s a criminal offence for doctors or medical professionals who help someone. This also includes egg donation from one woman to another for any reason.

What the German government says about surrogacy

Ways to develop a parent if you're LGBT+

There are several ways you could turn into a parent if getting pregnant by having sex is not an option for you.

Possible ways to become a parent include:

  • donor insemination
  • IUI (intrauterine insemination)
  • surrogacy
  • adoption or fostering
  • co-parenting

There are also several ways that could help people with fertility problems have a child, including IVF (in vitro fertilisation).

IUI and IVF can sometimes be done on the NHS. This depends on things like your age. Check with a GP or local integrated care board (ICB) to identify out about what might be present to you.

Surrogacy is not available on the NHS.

All these options can be explored by anyone, including single people and same sex couples.
