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

Legality icon
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.
Surrogacy in Brazil is allowed, but you can only look for a surrogate mother among relatives.

So far as it is not always possible to find a relative who will agree to carry a baby for a married couple, Brazilians are forced to go abroad to find a surrogate mother.
Every year infertile couples come to Ukraine to participate in fertility treatment programs from all over the world. There are a large number of the reproductive medicine centers in the country, including VittoriaVita, a surrogacy agency that develops and supports individual comprehensive programs, which costs from 36.000 to 50.000 euro.

Surrogate mother in Ukraine – who is she?

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.
A girl who decided to become a surrogate mother must meet a number of requirements:

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

The woman undergoes an examination, according to the results of which the doctor issues a conclusion about her readiness to participate in the program. The surrogate mother signs a contract with a married couple, which is a guarantee of the protection of her rights.
