TBILISI - This article aims to map the thriving surrogacy business between Israel and Georgia, with a particular focus on the role of women in this increasingly global and more lucrative baby business.

Based on fieldwork conducted in Israel/Palestine (August 2017) and Georgia (May 2018), the authors highlight both the Israeli demand side and the Georgian supply side of international surrogacy. What's the process and how do the financial transactions work? Why are more Israelis choosing Georgian surrogates and why are more Georgian women choosing surrogacy?
