Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskBefore the war about 2,500 surrogate mothers gave birth in Ukraine every year, according to Sam Everingham, who runs Growing Families, a non-profit. The babies’ intended parents are generally foreign couples, mostly from Europe and China. They appreciate Ukraine’s clear laws about surrogacy, which ensure that they are recognised as their baby’s legal parents from the moment of conception. They also like the cost.
Ukraine’s surrogacy agencies have responded to the catastrophe in very different ways. At the start of the war a handful of agencies initially stopped responding to emails and phone calls—leaving pregnant women with no way of contacting the parents of the babies they are carrying. Online groups sprung up to connect parents and surrogates who have found themselves in this situation.
For a while foreign couples who would normally have travelled to Ukraine for the births of their children had to pay local nannies to hand over newborns at border crossings. Britain began issuing visas to Ukrainian surrogates who were carrying babies for British couples. But now that fighting is predominantly in the south and east of the country, foreign couples are once again travelling to cities such as Kyiv and Lviv to collect their children.
My heart breaks. The wealthy Westerners cheerleading the war are 'fretting' that the impoverished Ukrainian young women driven to surrogacy now won't be able to deliver the goods?
Wait, you mean human trafficking, right? Since Ukraine has been the centre of trafficking from Europe for decades?
It's just awful! Those poor people can no longer buy the right to cause women physical pain. Not to worry though, I'm sure they'll find other accessories to buy instead.
I reckon the human species will survive
I wonder why Ukrainian women are so altruistic to foreign couples wrt surrogacy, than women in their own land. It's just money, how much of it is for free-altruism?
You should have said, war has caused setbacks to all the Ukranian industries!!
Of course, for some people it is very important, but it is not the most important thing when there is a war in your country.
Surrogacy isn't supposed to be an industry...
Surrogacy industry blooms in poor countries. If Ukraine becomes richer after reconstruction, Ukrainian women will have other life choices rather than carrying someone's babies.
