surrogacy in Ukraine

Surrogacy in Ukraine involves a woman, known as a surrogate mother, carrying a pregnancy on behalf of intended parents who cannot conceive naturally. Typically, the process uses the intended parents’ or donors’ embryo(s) transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. Ukrainian law allows legally recognized agreements, making surrogacy accessible to both heterosexual and same-sex couples, provided certain eligibility criteria are met. The process is regulated through contracts, and the intended parents can obtain legal parenthood after birth. Ukraine’s relatively permissive legal framework and lower costs have made it a popular destination for international clients seeking surrogacy services.
