Surrogacy for Single Men — Ghana Program: Costs, Legal Process & Timeline
Single heterosexual men can legally become fathers through surrogacy in Ghana. Ghana's Registration of Births and Deaths Act (Act 1027) establishes a clear legal pathway — including a Pre-Birth Parental Order that names you as the child's legal parent before birth. The all-inclusive program costs $83,000 and typically takes 12–18 months. No travel to Ukraine is required.

Surrogacy for Single Men in Ghana — Key Facts
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Legal basis | Ghana's Act 1027 — Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 2020 |
| Who qualifies | Single heterosexual men, age 18 and over |
| Program cost | $83,000 all-inclusive |
| What is included | IVF in Ukraine, egg donor, surrogate, PGD-A genetic testing, 2 embryo transfers, delivery, birth certificate |
| Timeline | 12–18 months |
| Trips required | 2 trips to Ghana. No travel to Ukraine required. |
| Your name on birth certificate | Yes — via Pre-Birth Parental Order issued by Ghana's High Court |
| Gender selection | Included as standard |
| Caucasian egg donors | Available — from Ukrainian donor database |
WHO CAN DO SURROGACY:
| Status | Criterion |
|---|---|
| Eligible | Single heterosexual men, age 18 and over |
| Eligible | Heterosexual married or unmarried couples |
| Eligible | No upper age limit for intended fathers |
| Eligible | Sperm donors accepted if intended father has a medical indication |
| Not eligible | Gay men or same-sex couples — Ghana law does not permit this |
The Ghana–Ukraine Hybrid: European Medical Standards, African Legal Certainty
Most surrogacy destinations force a choice between high legal certainty (United States, at $160,000–$250,000+) and affordability (grey-zone countries with no formal legal framework). The Delivering Dreams hybrid model is designed to give single fathers both.
| Stage | Location | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 — Creation | Ukraine | IVF with ICSI at a Ukrainian fertility clinic. Access to Caucasian egg donor database. NGS-24 / PGD-A genetic testing on all embryos. Gender selection. No travel required — sperm is shipped by medical courier. |
| Stage 2 — Transport | Ukraine to Ghana | Embryos shipped by hand-carry medical couriers at -196 °C. No X-ray exposure. Fully insured international transport. |
| Stage 3 — Birth | Ghana (Accra) | Embryo transfer and full pregnancy in Accra. Surrogate lives in agency-controlled accommodation with 24/7 nursing care. Pre-Birth Parental Order obtained. Birth certificate issued with your name. |
Ukraine provides European medical standards and access to Caucasian egg donor database. Ghana provides statutory surrogacy law (Act 1027), a clear Pre-Birth Order process, and a legal exit pathway. The result: $83,000 all-inclusive — approximately 40% of a comparable US program.
Legal Protection for Single Fathers: Ghana's Act 1027
Ghana's surrogacy is regulated by the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 2020 (Act 1027). This is statutory law — not a legal grey zone or a court precedent. Single heterosexual men have a formally defined path to legal parenthood.
Under Section 22 of Act 1027, a single intended father can apply to Ghana's High Court for a Pre-Birth Parental Order. This court order legally names you as the child's parent before the birth takes place. The application must be filed within 12 weeks of the embryo transfer. Upon granting the order, the District Registrar registers the birth accordingly — your name appears on the birth certificate.
How the legal process works
| Step | What happens | When |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Embryo is transferred to the surrogate in Accra | Month 4 of the program |
| 2 | Agency files Pre-Birth Order application at Ghana High Court | Within 12 weeks of transfer |
| 3 | Court grants the Pre-Birth Parental Order naming you as legal parent | Around week 12 of pregnancy |
| 4 | You travel to Accra to sign the order in person (Trip 1) | Approximately 1 week visit |
| 5 | Child is born — District Registrar registers birth per the order | Birth date |
| 6 | Birth certificate issued with your name listed as parent | Within days of birth |
What Does the $83,000 All-Inclusive Program Include?
| Included in the $83,000 program |
|---|
| Surrogate matching, oversight, and full surrogate compensation |
| All surrogate medical testing, monitoring, ultrasounds, and screenings throughout pregnancy |
| Egg donor matching, compensation, testing, and fresh retrieval cycle (Caucasian donors available) |
| IVF with ICSI performed in Ukraine to European medical standards |
| Embryo cultivation to blastocyst stage |
| PGD-A / NGS-24 genetic testing on up to 8 embryos (24 chromosomes) |
| 2 embryo transfers included in the program |

| Preparation of the birth certificate with intended father listed as legal parent |
| Full document management, coordinator support, and communication throughout |
Additional Costs to Budget For

Legal and financial security at top US/European standards at a fraction of US cost!
Your Timeline: 12–18 Months, 2 Trips to Ghana, One Goal
| Phase | Duration | Location | Key actions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Months 1–3 | Ukraine (no travel) | Sign the agreement. Ship sperm samples by courier. Select your egg donor from available profiles. IVF with ICSI is performed. Embryos cultured and tested with NGS-24. Surrogate matched in 2–4 weeks on average. |
| Phase 2 | Month 4 | Ukraine → Ghana | Embryos are cryoshipped from Ukraine to Accra. Surrogate prepares medically. Embryo transfer performed at the partner clinic in Accra. |
| Phase 3 — Trip 1 | Week 12 of pregnancy (~1 week) | Ghana (Accra) | You travel to Accra for the High Court hearing for the Pre-Birth Parental Order. Optional: meet your surrogate in person. Video calls available throughout the pregnancy. |
| Phase 4 — Trip 2 | At birth (~2–4 weeks) | Ghana (Accra) | You are present for the birth. Birth certificate is issued with your name. Passport and documentation processing before departure. |
No travel to Ukraine is required at any stage. All sperm shipping and embryo logistics are fully coordinated by the agency. You need to travel to Ghana twice: once for the Pre-Birth Order hearing (approximately 1 week) and once for the birth.
