Georgia's Surrogacy Boom Came After the 2022 Invasion
Georgia became a hub for surrogate pregnancies after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Deutsche Welle reports, and the outlet spoke with parents — and people hoping to become parents — about the hidden costs of what it describes as a booming industry. It is a story about geography as much as medicine: where a service is offered can shift when the region next door goes to war.

Take
The interesting part is the map. A war next door helped turn one country into the place people travel to for surrogacy.
Pushback
Timing isn't cause. Being the hub that emerged in that period doesn't by itself explain why parents chose Georgia over anywhere else.
