How do international intended parents find a surrogacy agency in the Ukraine?
Distance is not a barrier now! We offer the excellent opportunity for our international intended parents to start the surrogacy process without initial visit to the Ukraine.
The first step in your surrogacy journey in the Ukraine is to have a surrogacy consultation with your preferred agencies. This should be a talk with a surrogacy agency manager, lawyer and intended parents in order to get the answers to your questions and get the image of a surrogacy agency.
How do international intended parents find a surrogate mother in the Ukraine?
Intended parents working with a surrogacy agency such as HappyMoms do not have to worry about finding a surrogate mother on their own. Working with a surrogacy agency means that the agency will assist in finding an appropriate surrogate mother for you and make sure she is a good candidate. We have a strict 3-step screening process for gestational surrogates, to ensure our surrogates are mentally, physically, and emotionally ready to become surrogates.
We match international intended parents and surrogates based on certain criteria, taking into the account requirements of the doctors and intended parents.
What documentation do overseas intended parents need to have to come to the Ukraine?
Intended parents need to bring their passports , marriage certificate with apostile or legalization, all medical records, proof a negative COVID test within 72 hours of arriving flight or proof of vaccination. When returning home after the birth of the baby we strongly recommend to consult home country consulate and home country attorney to prepare all necessary paperwork to get travel document for the newborn. We assist in getting all the papers required from Ukrainian side.
How many times do international patients need to travel to the Ukraine if signing the contract with HappyMoms?
Usually IVF clinic indicates how many times you will need to travel to the Ukraine for embryo creation purposes. Once you are matched with a surrogate, you will need to come to the Ukraine for the birth of your child. We recommend to arrive at least 3 weeks before the due date. Sure you are always welcome for all medical appointments, transfer, scans, etc.
How long do overseas intended parents need to stay in the Ukraine after their baby is born?
International intended parents should be prepared to stay from 3 up to 4 weeks after the baby’s birth to get travel documents of your consulate. The birth certificate is normally issued 2-3 days after the birth. COVID restrictions may extend this timeframe because of delays in obtaining documentation.
