The law in Ukraine, in plain words
Surrogacy in Ukraine is regulated by Article 123 of the Family Code and by Ministry of Health rules on assisted reproduction. When an embryo created by a married couple is transferred to another woman, the spouses are the child’s parents. The surrogate gives her notarised consent and is not recorded as the mother.
Ukrainian law requires the couple to be married and requires a medical reason why the intended mother cannot carry a pregnancy. At least one spouse must be genetically related to the child. Surrogacy in Ukraine is not available to single people or same-sex couples.
After the birth, the civil registry office issues a Ukrainian birth certificate naming both of you. Because, as a rule, the child does not acquire Ukrainian citizenship, the travel document is issued through your own country. Which steps follow at home depends on your country — see the country guides.

Questions about surrogacy in Ukraine
Who can do surrogacy in Ukraine?
A married man and woman with a medical indication for surrogacy, where at least one spouse is genetically related to the child (Family Code of Ukraine, Article 123).
Whose names are on the Ukrainian birth certificate?
Both intended parents. The surrogate gives notarised consent and is not recorded as the mother; no court case or adoption is needed in Ukraine.
Will our child get Ukrainian citizenship?
As a rule, no — a child whose parents are not Ukrainian citizens does not acquire Ukrainian citizenship. The passport comes through your own country, usually based on the father’s established paternity. Our lawyers confirm this for your family.
How do we travel to Lviv?
Fly to Rzeszów in south-east Poland. Freya covers the car transfer from Rzeszów to Lviv, about 170 km via the Korczowa–Krakovets border crossing.
How long does a program in Ukraine take?
Usually about 12–20 months from contract to coming home. The time after birth depends mainly on your home country’s procedures.
