Re. N.A N’UNDI

Gestational surrogacy is permitted under Rwandan law as a form of assisted reproductive technology when agreed by the parties. The child born from such arrangement must be registered under the names of the genetic parents (N.A and M.O), but for the first six months after birth, the child should remain with the surrogate mother (M.G) for breastfeeding, unless medically impossible. The surrogacy agreement is valid and enforceable.
