Ukraine is becoming the most popular destination for Western couples seeking to have children through surrogacy due to low costs and relatively favorable legislation. It seems that women in some parts of Ukraine charge far less for the service than in Europe, and another big bonus for couples seeking surrogacy is that Ukrainian legislation recognizes the couples who hire surrogates as the only lawful parents.
This, in turn, means that legal fees tend to be much lower than in Western European countries as legislation in Europe varies quite drastically from country to country, and there are many instances where a surrogate can legally challenge the rights of the parents. Some countries have a total ban on surrogacy.
Parents having a child through surrogacy in Ukraine will currently pay somewhere between $30,000 and $45,000 with between $10,000 and $15,000 going to the surrogate. Comparing this to prices in the States than can vary between $80,000 and $120,000, it’s clear why Ukraine is seen as a favorable option.
It’s estimated that around 120 official surrogate pregnancies took place in Ukraine last year, and that the actual number could be 30% higher as many families use private agencies that are not required to report their date to the authorities. And the total number is estimated to increase by 20% over the coming year.
Ukraine seems to be a good and affordable option when it comes to surrogacy, but before going down that road, you should thoroughly check the legal position back home or you could end up in trouble.
