Surrogacy and Egg Donation. Why Ukraine?

By choosing Ukraine as destination country for your egg donation or surrogacy program you take an important step and you need to be sure you are making the right decision. Ukraine is a European country. This is true not only when you think of geographical position and comfortable travel options and local navigation, but what is most important the mentality of people is very similar and easily understandable for most of European and American patients, let alone the couples coming from CIS countries. You will be given clear answers to your questions, fast feedback on all your enquiries and very transparent payments schedule with no hidden costs. Above all, you will have access to all the medical documents related to your program.

Entering Ukraine does not require visa for EU countries, Americas and Canada, most of CIS and Scandinavian countries. Ukrainian legislation concerning reproductive medicine is extremely favorable. Ukrainian legislation is loyal to gestational surrogacy and egg donation, both are legally allowed which is consolidated in the number of legislative acts.

Intended parents are legal parents of their baby born by the surrogate mother. Only names of intended parents are written in the baby birth certificate. Surrogate mother has no right to keep the baby after delivery according to the contract concluded between intended parents and her.

Daddies and their little lovely daughters

Relationship between fathers and daughters is extremely charming and infinitely heart-piercing. Just because when men, who are usually chary of emotions, brutal and strong, take their little daughters in their arms, fathers become so kind and careful that it makes heart beat faster. Such feelings are beyond time and space. Therefore, it’s extremely difficult to transfer them with the help of pictures. Professional photographers tried to show at least part of these emotions and feelings of love in their works. Love your children and take care of them!

Amusing Newborns

This is incredibly heart-piercing video. These kids have not yet realized that they were born, and therefore they behave as if they were still in the mother’s womb.

Milk is all we need :)

I donate my eggs for money

Mother-of-two sells them for £750 a pop and spends the cash on treating her children to toys and days out or decorating her house. Emma Frost, 25, from Romford has made a total of £2,250 from donating. The full-time mum wants to continue until she reaches total of ten. Three women have conceived in last three years with her help. A mum of two, who donates her eggs for money, uses the cash she receives from the clinic to spoil her children - and even kit out her house with new carpets. And Emma is hoping to donate another seven times - the maximum allowed - for £750 a go.

The full-time mum, from Romford, East London, has used the cash to kit out her home but says she is happy to be helping other people experience the joy of motherhood and would donate her eggs even without the money. She said: 'The money is a bonus and it allows me to give my children a beautiful home. 'I feel passionate that everyone gets the chance to be a parent and I love giving people that opportunity.'

Emma joined the fertility market when she considered acting as a surrogate for a friend of a friend struggling to conceive. The first time Emma donated her eggs, she used the £750 to buy bunk beds (pictured) for her two kids. Having enjoyed being pregnant with daughter Bailey, six, but believing that she and partner Ben Hodgson were not going to have any more children of their own, she was keen to carry another baby, even if it was someone else's. But just as she was about to offer her womb as a temporary home for someone else's child, she found herself pregnant again.

After giving birth to Mia, two, she decided that even if she was not going to carry another baby she could still help people realize the joy of parenthood. Emma applied to be an egg donor and found out when she arrived that there was compensation for the ten days of injections and short procedure under anaesthetic. In the last two years, she has donated eggs to three different women who have all fallen pregnant. And with the money she has received as compensation, Emma has dramatically improved her house and treated her two children to the toys and outings she wouldn't otherwise be able to afford.

After the first donation she decorated their bedrooms and bought the bunk beds they were desperate for, next she re-carpeted her house. The last time she made the trip to the clinic and received the £750 in return, she took her family on a trip to London and put half away in an account for the girls to access when they are 18. Emma said: 'I've changed the future of another family and I want to look out for my own children's futures too. 'At first I wanted to be a surrogate. I loved being pregnant and I had no complications - it was just a fantastic experience. 'Then I found out about egg donation and decided that, as I'd had another daughter by then, this was the thing for me. 'A couple of my friends have had trouble conceiving and the thought of being able to give something back was great. 'And being able to the do the renovations to the house and give the kids something is great. 'We took them on a big trip to London and they blew half of one of the payments on the day out which was fun. 'Then the rest of that most recent payment I put away in an account for them which they can have when they are 18. 'I've lived with my partner for six years and although he was a bit shocked and worried about the risks at first, he's fully supported me. 'My family was just so proud - people were calling me up to congratulate me when I first did it. 'You can do it a maximum of ten times, which I'm going to do. 'I want to do it ten times because I love the feeling and the pride I get from helping another family have what I have. 'There are no bad points to donating eggs. You feel good about it and you give a family something they've always wished for.'

10 facts about the first year of parenthood

There is a great amount of information concerning parenthood before and after childbirth. One mother has shared her own experience and wise recommendations with our readers:   

1.      Becoming a lovely parent you will have to go through fire and water but at the same time it will be a lot of wonderful things in your life after child’s birth. Every day you will be able to see different interesting changes in your child. Of course it will be very difficult during the first period. Calm down, as you have to take care of yourself and your baby because he loves you very much and needs you beautiful and happy.

2.      Be ready for the fact that your body will not be in good form after childbirth. Swellings, lots of stretch marks will be seen on your body, your form will change. But remember, you gave birth to a new little person. Now you must eat well, rest, dedicate time to yourself and have the ear of people who say that you are beautiful;

3.      Your child is not like all others kids. Each of us is unique. Your baby is no exception. Only you and your spouse know better how to treat your own child. The baby will not behave as it is written and described in various smart books, and it's perfect! The best you can do in this situation is to postpone all the literature and get to know own baby. What does he like? What makes him laugh? How he fall asleep? What sound makes baby when he is hungry and so on. You do not need to follow certain abstract rules. Listen to your own heart and baby.

4.      Pregnancy and child bearing is rather difficult and painful process. But don’t be afraid. It is called a miracle! Do not be afraid of difficulties, all parents have to go through them.

5.      Talking about children's poop and other troubles...Children's faeces, unpleasant smell and other baby's surprises are natural and normal and everything is much easier than you think. You will become accustomed to all these things and cope with them easily.

6.      Master the art of graceful perception of unwanted advices. All parents like to talk about their children and everyone has own opinion, therefore wants to share it with others. But if something works well concerning some children it doesn’t mean that it works concerning all! You can thank for people’ advisers and continue to act in your way.  Because only you know what is best for your child.

7.      Time to become flexible in all senses of this word! During the first year of child’s life mother can sleep with him. It can be lack of sleep, intimate relationship with husband and so on and so forth. But do not despair: that's okay. Do not worry; everything will be fine in time.

8.      The best thing you can present your child… No, it is not a new expansive toy or something like that. All the best you can give him is lovely family. Family supports you at any moment when you are tired or angry. You love your baby and take care of him when you tired and hungry. Only family 100% understand that you are an imperfect man who sometimes makes mistakes but they will always love you and support.

9.      You must support each other. Childrearing is the most difficult process you have ever known. You can be angry and roily due to the difficulties and lack of sleep or you can love each other enjoying your baby. You get to choose!

10.  Success lies in the desire to grow. Now you don’t know everything. Gather the crumbs of wisdom and learn from own mistakes. Be humble and stay open to everything new. If you know how to do better - act. Become a better parent tomorrow than you were today. Try and do not be afraid in the case of fail. Live every moment and love your cute baby.

Relationship Stress After Having a Baby

Some couples choose to have a baby to celebrate their stability or to strengthen their relationship. They think that a baby will bring them closer together, and that life after childbirth will be a time of tenderness, intimacy, and maturity. However, having a baby is a stressful experience that challenges even the best of relationships. First-time parents face role changes, lifestyle adjustments, and financial difficulties. Experienced parents have additional demands from their previous children. More couples today are seeking relationship counseling after having a baby than ever before. This does not necessarily mean that the stresses are greater now than in previous years, but rather that more couples are recognizing when they need help.
Mothers and fathers respond and adjust to their newborn baby in different ways. Misunderstandings and conflicts can affect the relationship as a result. Role changes, lifestyle adjustments, and financial difficulties can all add to the problems. Conflicts can be compounded if the mother is experiencing postpartum depression. Here are a few helpful ways that you can improve your relationship with your partner after having a baby.
What new mothers go through
New mothers are often overwhelmed by their changing role in life. Whereas before they were individuals surrounded by friends and possibly a challenging career, now their needs are secondary to the newborn baby. They may feel less important now that their days are filled with diaper changes, feedings, and chores galore. Fathers can help by trying to understand how busy their partner’s day really is. Don’t expect chores to be done, the house to be clean, and dinner to be on the table when you come home from a hard day’s work. Instead, when you arrive home, ask your partner about her day and how you can help. Offer to take care of your newborn baby alone so your partner can take a much-needed break. Taking care of your baby alone is also the best way for you to get to know him and establish a real relationship.
New mothers may also have issues with their body image. Their breasts look different, their hips are wider, and it may be harder than they originally thought to lose that extra bit of fat. You can help by reassuring your partner about her looks. She needs to know that you still find her attractive.
What new fathers go through
New fathers sometimes feel left out and isolated. They may even see the new baby as a sort of competition for your attention. As a result, they may withdraw and become depressed. You can help by including your partner in the care of your newborn baby. Take advantage of his offers to spend one-on-one time with your baby. Your partner may do things differently from you, but try to look past that. He needs to do things in his own way, and he will be just fine.
Spending time with each other
Couples with new babies are busy. Feedings, diaper changes, and consoling a baby seem to take up endless hours of the day. By the time the mother and father do get to see each other alone, they are usually completely exhausted. If they are cranky from sleep deprivation, and sometimes they just don’t want to spend time together at all.
Try to find time to talk things over and be a couple again, even if it is just for a few minutes. You might even have to schedule in a time when you are both available. Choose a time when your newborn baby and other children are well-fed and settled. This may be difficult when your baby is just a newborn but should become easier as he gets older.
Regaining your intimacy with each other
Most new parents experience a loss of sexual intimacy. Sometimes this can begin during pregnancy because the couple felt uncomfortable about having sex, the mother was not feeling well, or there were complications. Sometimes abstinence during pregnancy can lead to a long period of abstinence after the baby is born.
Sometimes during childbirth, a woman has tearing or an episiotomy, both of which require considerable time for recovery. If the woman has sex too soon after giving childbirth, it will be painful. Even if the woman did not have tearing or an episiotomy, her vaginal muscles may simply be too slack to really enjoy sex soon after giving birth.
Last but not least, breastfeeding can inhibit a woman’s desire to have sex. She may feel that her breasts are reserved for her newborn baby now, and that can make her feel less interested in being intimate. Also, when a woman is constantly touching and interacting with her baby, and especially if she is breastfeeding him, she can feel “touched out.” This is a common feeling in women, where they do not want any physical contact with their partner because they are getting so much from their newborn baby.
Men can feel extraordinarily betrayed if they are rejected both physically and emotionally by their partner. It is important to talk to each other about your feelings. There are other ways to be physically intimate with each other, such as cuddling and holding hands.
Addressing your financial priorities
Expenses add up very quickly when you have a new baby. If you were previously a two-income family, the financial strain of raising a baby on one income can be amplified. Many times, the mother’s attention becomes solely focused on her newborn baby, which leaves the father to worry about finances by himself. Although the family finances are a joint responsibility, it is often the father who has to make tough decisions about financial priorities. This can lead to stress and conflicts in the relationship, as well as depression in some fathers.
However, there are many ways to save money when you have a little one, such as accepting hand-me-downs from friends and family, breastfeeding instead of bottle feeding, and letting people know what items you do need for your baby.
If financial difficulties are causing a strain on your relationship with your partner, seek help from a marriage or relationship counsellor.
Seeking help for depression
Relationship difficulties complicated by postpartum depression can be a nightmare. Changing roles, social isolation, and financial difficulties can all contribute to depression. Both mothers and fathers can experience depression after having a baby. Seek medical help if you, or your partner, are experiencing any of the signs of depression:
• feeling out of control
• unpredictable, uncontrolled tearfulness and spontaneous crying spells that occur without cause
• feelings of sadness, melancholy, weary anger, guilt, apathy, or general despair
• an overwhelming sense of worthlessness
• forgetfulness, difficulty making decisions, or inability to concentrate
• sleep disturbances, such as sleeping excessively and still feeling tired, or having chronic insomnia at night with exhaustion during the day
• a change in eating habits, such as lack of appetite, aversion to the sight and smell of food, or excessive appetite
• a total loss of sexual energy
• withdrawal from your newborn baby, partner, friends, and family
• sometimes: suicidal feelings
• a feeling that you might harm yourself or your newborn baby

Students are selling their bodies to pay the bills

Some students become a temp or babysitter. Other students are selling their bodies. Students can donate plasma for compensation or turn to the extremes of hair, sperm or egg donations. “I heard that you could donate plasma and then I heard that you get paid to donate,” said donor. “I can do something good and put some extra money in my pocket.”

After meeting children who had benefited from taking medication made from plasma, donor started donating. The compensation he received for his donations made it easier for donor to pay his bills. “It was perfect for me. My car payment was $150 and my insurance was $100 a month,” donor said. “Donating almost made my car free.”

Donation centers offer compensation for donations. They give compensation to encourage donation and thank donors for their time. While the centers don’t track why people donate, specialists believe students are one of the most likely demographics to donate. Students can donate up to twice every seven days.

“People come in for all different reasons,” doctor said. “For college students I think one of the reasons is because they have a little more time on their hands. They come in and they can study, and do things while they’re donating. Time-wise it’s not as time-committing as having a full-time job.”

It is no secret that the compensation from donations can help supplement income, but donation centers see it as something more than an easy way to make money. “We don’t see this as selling your body,” doctor said. “Without these donors there would be patients globally that would not be receiving their medicine. So the donors are extremely important.”

Students might consider selling other body materials for extra cash. Selling sperm or eggs, for example, can offer high compensation but requires more time per donation. Women who donate their eggs must take hormones and regularly visit doctors to prepare for the invasive surgical process of removing eggs. Through the entire process egg donors cannot exercise, drink or have intercourse. Donating sperm might seem as easy as opening a nudie magazine, but several requirements are in place for donors. Men must meet a strict list of requirements to determine eligibility for genetic donation. To donate, a man must be older than 20 and younger than 39, be a certain height, have a college degree or be working towards one, and commit to the sperm donation program for a year or two college semesters for out-of-state students.

Both sperm and egg donors must reveal their family medical history, including histories of heart disease, mental illness and alcoholism. Donors must also disclose personal information about tattoos, experimental sexual experiences and drug and alcohol use.
