Abstract. Today, surrogacy procedures offer medical solutions to intended parents who otherwise cannot have a child naturally. Various legal and ethical issues arise from both traditional and gestational surrogacy from the child’s point of view. To balance the rights of children and parents, international legal documents and case law of the European Court on Human Rights, which deliver approaches to ensure the best interest of the child and the child’s right to identity as highlighted in the United Nations Convention on Children’s Rights, are considered in surrogacy procedures where the legal situation is complex due to the different national regulations.

Keywords: cross-border surrogacy, best interest of the child, legal parent– child relationship
