I can't afford to have a baby right now, I want to ask my sister to be a gestational carrier. But now my sister is still unmarried and gives birth like that, is she allowed to be a gestational carrier in Vietnam?
According to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 95 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014, conditions for altruistic gestational surrogacy are as follows:
3. A gestational carrier must fully satisfy the following conditions:
a/ She is a next of kin of the same line of the wife or husband who asks for gestational surrogacy;
b/ She has given birth and is permitted for gestational surrogacy only once;
c/ She is at a suitable age and is certified by a competent health organization as eligible for gestational surrogacy;
d/ In case she is married, she obtains her husband’s written consent;
dd/ She has received health, legal and psychological counseling.
Thus, according to the above provisions in Vietnam, the person who has not given birth will not be eligible for a gestational carrier request. Then you won't be able to ask your sister to be a surrogate mother.
Best Regards!
