How Surrogacy Works in Ukraine

Consultation

Speak with us to get all your questions answered, address your concerns, and gain a clear understanding of the process. It is essential you feel confident and comfortable before moving forward. To recommend the surrogacy program most likely to succeed for you, we ask for your previous medical history, test results, prior IVF protocols, embryo development videos, and any other relevant records. Our doctors review this information at no charge and give honest input on your real success rates and the program best suited to your situation. This free analysis helps you avoid treatments with a low probability of success, saves money, and improves your chances by ensuring the medical team is fully informed. Together you decide which program fits your situation and budget — or we build a personalized program around your unique needs.

CONCLUDE OUR SERVICES AGREEMENT

We help you compile all required legal, medical, and shipping documentation — drafting every necessary document and providing clear instructions and contacts. Some countries require specific paperwork at the start or at defined points during the surrogacy process; we make sure everything is filed correctly and on time. If we are unable to complete your documentation and get you accepted into a Ukrainian surrogacy program, we refund your first payment in full.

DONOR SELECTION

We work with your criteria and timeline to present outstanding egg donors in Ukraine. Our donors undergo the most thorough testing of any agency in Ukraine. While donors are anonymous under Ukrainian law, you receive photos, height, weight, education level, and full medical history. Many are repeat donors, and we can share their past success records to help you choose with confidence. You can also review our donor database to compare available profiles.

IVF+ICSI+PGD 24

Our embryologists create and carefully nurture your embryos to 5- or 6-day blastocysts as part of your surrogacy program. We strongly recommend preimplantation genetic testing (PGD-24) on all embryos to identify chromosomal abnormalities — this significantly improves the chance of a successful pregnancy. PGD-24 also enables gender selection in eligible cases. Results are typically available within three weeks, after which remaining viable embryos are cryopreserved.

SURROGATE SELECTION

We select surrogates based on your preferences, blood type, your country's legal requirements, and the level of contact you would like to have with them. This is entirely up to you. We encourage and facilitate close contact so you can be part of your child's first nine months. You may ask as many questions as you like about your surrogate and meet her virtually or in person before proceeding. Learn more about how surrogates are selected and supported.

TRANSFER/IMPLANTATION DAY

On transfer day, the embryologist selects the highest-graded embryo that passed PGD-24 screening. The transfer itself is a brief, minimally invasive procedure — no general anesthesia is required. We typically transfer a single blastocyst to maximize safety for both your surrogate and baby. Any remaining viable embryos stay cryopreserved for future use. Ten days after the transfer, your surrogate takes a blood test to confirm pregnancy.

Pregnancy

The pregnancy blood test is taken 10 days after the transfer — it can feel like forever! You receive results that day or the next. Throughout the pregnancy your surrogate is monitored continuously, visiting the clinic at least twice a month. Her personal coordinator and a member of our team visit once a month to verify that everything is well — both with her health and her living environment. At month five she moves closer to our clinics in Kyiv or Lviv for constant monitoring. The apartments are comfortable, and surrogates are encouraged to bring their children and have loved ones stay with them. We facilitate whatever level of relationship you would like with your surrogate throughout the pregnancy. You receive reports on all tests and doctor visits, can attend ultrasounds in person or watch remotely, and may request drug, alcohol, and smoking tests as often as you like. Read about how we monitor and support surrogates during pregnancy.

Delivery

For donor programs or programs using shipped embryos or biological material, you only need to visit Ukraine once — for delivery. If you plan to provide your own eggs for IVF, several options exist with varying travel requirements. With your surrogate under constant monitoring, we will let you know when to make your way to Ukraine. You are welcome to be present at the birth unless there are medical complications. Your child stays in the maternity hospital for 3–5 days. Most packages include a private room so you can stay with your child around the clock. Learn about birth location options and delivery support.
