Re. N.A ET AL
Gestational surrogacy is a form of assisted reproductive technology recognized by Rwandan law. The agreement between the parties is valid and enforceable. The child born through this process must be registered under the names of the genetic parents (N.A and M.O) but should remain with the surrogate mother (M.G) for six months post-birth for breastfeeding, unless medically impossible. The lower court erred in restricting the scope of assisted reproduction to exclude surrogacy.
