Over the past decade, Ukraine has emerged as one of the most sought-after destinations for couples and individuals seeking surrogacy. Families from Europe, North America, Asia, and beyond often choose Ukrainian surrogacy centers not just for practical reasons, but because of a unique combination of legal clarity, affordability, and professional care.
Ukraine is one of the few countries where commercial surrogacy is explicitly legal for married heterosexual couples. The law clearly establishes that intended parents are the legal parents from the moment of conception—meaning their names go directly on the birth certificate, with no need for adoption proceedings. This legal certainty is a key factor for many families who want to avoid the risks and ambiguities present in other countries.
As i know, in many Western countries, surrogacy can cost two to three times more than in Ukraine. Ukrainian programs typically include medical procedures, surrogate compensation, legal services, and even accommodation for visiting parents—often at a fraction of the cost found in the U.S. or Canada. For many couples, this financial accessibility opens the door to building a family when local options are out of reach.
