Is Surrogacy Legal in Ukraine?

Is Surrogacy Legal in Ukraine?

One of the first questions couples ask when considering surrogacy is, “Is surrogacy legal?” Yes, without a doubt, in Ukraine. Ukrainian surrogacy laws are among the most supportive and clear-cut globally, providing a solid foundation for intended parents.

Ukrainian legislation explicitly permits surrogacy arrangements, including commercial surrogacy. This legal clarity offers peace of mind to intended parents, knowing that their surrogacy agreement is fully recognized and protected by law. The legal environment in Ukraine is structured to support intended parents at every stage, ensuring that their rights and the surrogate’s rights are safeguarded.

Legal recognition of surrogacy in Ukraine

Comprehensive Legal Protections

One of the most significant benefits of surrogacy in Ukraine is the comprehensive legal protections offered to all parties involved. Surrogacy laws in Ukraine ensure that the intended parents are recognized as the legal parents of the child from the moment of conception. This legal recognition is crucial as it eliminates the legal uncertainties that can arise in other jurisdictions.
In Ukraine, surrogacy contracts are enforceable. This means that all parties, including the surrogate, are legally bound by the terms of the agreement. This legal enforceability provides an added layer of security and reassurance for intended parents. They can be confident that the surrogate has no legal claim to the child, reducing the risk of legal disputes after the child’s birth.

Detailed and transparent surrogacy agreements in Ukraine

Transparent and Enforceable Contracts

The legal framework in Ukraine requires that all surrogacy agreements be detailed and transparent. This transparency ensures that the intended parents and the surrogate fully understand their rights and obligations. The enforceability of these contracts means that the agreed-upon terms are upheld, protecting the interests of all parties involved.
Contracts typically cover all aspects of the surrogacy process, including financial arrangements, medical care, and the surrogate’s responsibilities. This comprehensive approach minimizes the risk of misunderstandings and disputes, creating a smoother and more predictable surrogacy journey.

Essential protections for surrogates in Ukraine

Surrogate’s Rights and Protections

While Ukrainian law is highly favorable to intended parents, it also provides essential protections for surrogates. Surrogates in Ukraine undergo thorough medical and psychological screening to ensure they are fit for the surrogacy process. They also receive comprehensive medical care throughout the pregnancy.
Moreover, surrogates are fairly compensated for their time, effort, and the physical demands of pregnancy. The surrogacy contract clearly outlines this compensation, ensuring transparency and fairness. The legal structure also mandates that surrogates have no parental rights over the child, which protects the intended parents’ rights and reduces potential conflicts.

Process of establishing legal parentage in Ukraine

Birth Certificates

A critical legal benefit of surrogacy in Ukraine is the process of establishing legal parentage. From the moment of birth, the intended parents are recognized as the legal parents of the child. This legal recognition is formalized through the birth certificate, which lists the intended parents as the child’s parents.
This straightforward process contrasts with the legal complexities in some other countries where intended parents may need to undergo lengthy legal procedures to establish parentage. In Ukraine, the intended parents’ names are directly entered into the birth certificate, streamlining the legal process and providing immediate legal recognition.

Child’s citizenship and travel documents

Citizenship and Travel Documents

Another legal benefit of choosing surrogacy in Ukraine is the support provided in obtaining the child’s citizenship and travel documents. The agency assists intended parents in navigating the bureaucratic processes to ensure that the child’s citizenship follows that of the intended parents.
This support extends to obtaining necessary travel documents, allowing the family to return to their home country smoothly. The comprehensive legal assistance ensures that all necessary paperwork is handled efficiently, reducing the stress and uncertainty often associated with international surrogacy.

Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGD) in Ukraine

Access to Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGD)

Ukrainian surrogacy laws also allow intended parents to utilize pre-implantation genetic testing (PGD). This testing ensures that the embryos used are genetically healthy, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby.
PGD provides intended parents with the option to choose the gender of their future child. This capability offers greater control and peace of mind, knowing they are taking all possible steps to ensure a positive outcome. This legal provision is another example of how Ukrainian surrogacy laws are designed to support and protect the interests of intended parents.

International Recognition and Support of Ukraine’s surrogacy

International Recognition and Support

Ukraine’s surrogacy laws are internationally recognized, which simplifies the process for intended parents from various countries. The legal structure is designed to be transparent and straightforward, making it easier for international couples to understand and comply with the requirements.
Additionally, agencies like Delivering Dreams provide extensive support to intended parents throughout the surrogacy journey. This support includes legal assistance, ensuring that all legal aspects are handled professionally and efficiently. The agency’s expertise in international surrogacy laws helps intended parents navigate the complexities of the process with confidence.

Under Ukrainian law, surrogacy is a legal affordable option for traditionally married couples to have children using their own embryos, or with either an egg or sperm donor. There must be a medical reason you can’t carry a child. You are also able to participate if you have had 4 unsuccessful IVF attempts.
