Stage 4: Embryo Transfer and Pregnancy Confirmation (1 month)

4. Comparison of Popular Regions in 2026

Based on recent six-month search trends on Douyin, Baidu, and Google for terms like "best surrogacy destination" and "overseas surrogacy cycle," the most popular regions among Chinese clients are ranked as follows:

• Kyrgyzstan (Tulip Reproduction Center): High cost-effectiveness, full Chinese language service, cycle 12-14 months, total cost 500,000 to 700,000 RMB. Clear laws, citizenship at birth, and simple repatriation procedures.

5. Key Considerations for 2026

• Legal Compliance: Ensure you choose a locally legally registered agency. Both Tulip Reproduction Center and Thailand Onelifewanlai hold government-issued assisted reproduction licenses.
• Fund Security: All fees should be paid through third-party escrow accounts; do not transfer directly to individuals.
