Surrogacy in Ukraine: Procedure of Working with the Agency and Clinic

The entire process of having a baby takes 1–1.3 years and consists of the following stages:

1

First Consultation

The first consultation (by phone or email) and a 3-day visit to the clinic. During this time, all initial procedures take place: meeting with the doctor and undergoing tests, checking the quality of the man’s genetic material, developing the procedure for obtaining eggs (if own reproductive material is used), meeting the surrogate mother, visiting a notary, and preparing all the documents necessary to start cooperation.

Consultation Tests Introduction
2

Second Visit

The second visit is the retrieval of eggs, if this is provided in your program. If donor material is used, the second visit takes place 9 months later at the birth of the child. If desired, you may also visit the surrogate mother during pregnancy for a joint ultrasound appointment.

Egg Retrieval Ultrasound Monitoring
3

Final Visit

The final visit takes place during the birth and the preparation of documents for the baby. Future parents actively participate in childbirth and postnatal care. After discharge from the maternity hospital, they live with the child in a comfortable apartment for up to 4 weeks until all documents are ready for departure to their home country (depending on the country, the processing time may be longer).

Birth Documents Accommodation

We Provide Assistance at Every Stage

  • At all stages, you are accompanied by a coordinator-interpreter from our agency.

  • VittoriaVita takes care of your meals and accommodation during visits.

  • Future parents are provided with a personal driver.

  • We assist with translation and preparation of documents.

  • We handle the selection of surrogate mothers, carry out IVF, embryo testing, and transfer.

  • We carefully take care of the surrogate mother (screenings, tests, ultrasounds).

  • We organize the parents’ stay in the maternity hospital during childbirth and arrange daily visits from a pediatrician after discharge.

That is why your experience of becoming parents will be as comfortable and easy as possible.


Child Registration for Foreign Citizens

If surrogacy is prohibited in your country (USA, Germany, Austria, Switzerland), you can still have a child from a surrogate mother in Ukraine. To legalize the newborn in your country of residence, it will be necessary to go through the parenthood recognition procedure.

USA

Obtaining a pre-birth order, where parenthood is recognized even before the child is born.

Germany

Adoption procedure for the mother and Anerkennung for the father.

Austria

Recognition of the genetic mother or adoption process.

Switzerland

Anerkennung der Vaterschaft for the father, adoption for the mother.

United Kingdom

Parental Order through the family court.

France

Adoption or recognition of documents in case of a genetic link.

Spain

Legalization through court or adoption.

Other Countries

We provide detailed consultation regarding the procedure in each country.


How We Select Surrogate Mothers

We take both the selection of candidates and the care for the woman’s health and well-being during pregnancy very seriously. To achieve the best results, VittoriaVita relies on the highest standards of quality and safety.

Legal Compliance

Meeting all legal requirements

When selecting candidates, we comply with all legislative requirements. We choose women in the most optimal age for carrying a pregnancy (20–39 years). During this period, women have the best physical and emotional condition, the highest fertility, and the lowest risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

  • Legal adulthood (in Ukraine — 18 years old)
  • Full legal capacity
  • Voluntary consent to participate
  • Optimal age for pregnancy (20–39 years)
  • At least one healthy child of her own
  • Ukrainian citizenship

Candidate’s Health

Full medical examination of participants

Our surrogate mothers are completely healthy young women. At VittoriaVita, every candidate undergoes a full medical check-up to confirm her ability to carry and give birth to a healthy child.

Medical procedures include:

  • General urine and blood tests
  • Gynecological examination and vaginal flora check
  • Chest X-ray
  • Ultrasound examination
  • Tests to exclude infections
  • Additional tests if necessary

This is a mandatory but not exhaustive package. If needed, the woman undergoes further examinations to rule out conditions that could harm the pregnancy. All tests for the surrogate mother are free of charge — their cost is included in the overall program price paid by the intended parents.

Key Health Indicators We Consider

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) optimal for pregnancy: 19–32 kg/m²
  • Positive Rh factor, to avoid Rh conflict with the baby
  • No harmful habits
