Surrogacy in Brazil
Surrogacy is allowed in Brazil, but there is one interesting point. The surrogate mother must have family ties with one of the potential parents of the child.
Legislation
The attitude to the assisted reproductive technologies in the world remains ambiguous; public opinion largely depends on the position of the government and of the church. In most countries, this method of infertility treatment is prohibited, in some countries there is no clear regulatory framework that would regulate the field of the ART.
In Brazil, surrogacy is not prohibited and is practiced, but only a relative can carry a child for a couple. It is not always possible to find a surrogate mother among the relatives, so Brazilian couples who want to become parents go abroad for searching the suitable clinic.

A surrogate mother is a woman who agrees to carry a child for an infertile couple. The surrogate mother has no genetic connection with the baby, because biological parents provide materials for the fertilization. The woman receives financial reward for her services.

- age from 19 to 35 years old,
- citizenship of Ukraine,
- good health,
- having healthy child / children,
- without cesarean section,
- positive rhesus factor,
