What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is the process in which an embryo is carried by another person in the service of an intended parent or couple. It can either be traditional surrogacy or gestational surrogacy.

In traditional surrogacy, the man’s sperm is used to fertilize the surrogate mother’s egg in her womb and the surrogate mother carries the baby for the intended parents.

In gestational surrogacy, the egg and sperm are fertilized in vitro, and then the resulting embryo is implanted in the surrogate mother’s womb.

In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother is biologically the mother of the child, the legalities are somewhat more complicated, and there are chances of the mother being emotionally attached to the baby. There are no such issues in gestational surrogacy, and therefore it is usually recommended by most experts.

Ukraine Surrogacy

More and more people are opting for commercial surrogacy in Ukraine as

• Ukraine is one of the most surrogacy-friendly countries in the world today.
• Unlike in other countries, the intended couple does not have to “adopt” the child. The child is registered at birth as the baby of the intended parents and never the surrogate’s.
• Gender selection is allowed legally in Ukraine.

However, only married couples are allowed to take part in Ukraine surrogacy services.

Visiting Ukraine for Surrogacy

Intended parents have to be in Ukraine during the first and the last steps of the procedure, so they have to go to Ukraine twice within the process.

• First visit – For egg and sperm extraction, which usually takes less than 5 days.
• Second visit – Before the child is born, to become the parents at birth and then to process the baby’s papers for going back to the intended parents’ home country.
