Surrogacy is a reproductive technology that involves a woman carrying and giving birth to a child for an infertile couple. At the same time, 3 people take part in the conception of a baby: the genetic father, the genetic mother and the surrogate mother.
Surrogacy in Ukraine is a very popular method of assisted reproductive technology. It is completely legal in our country.
Currently, surrogate motherhood “saves” the fate of married couples who, for whatever reason, cannot conceive and give birth to a child on their own. Thanks to the latest medical technology, couples diagnosed with infertility have the hope of having children of their own. Surrogate motherhood allows you to give birth to a blood-related child, while the surrogate mother has no genetic connection with the baby. Immediately after the birth of the child, she must immediately transfer it to the biological parents. 
However, in the field of surrogacy, sometimes conflict situations can arise. To avoid and prevent scandals, force majeure situations and other problems associated with bearing a child by a surrogate mother, it is advisable to know the legal aspects of surrogacy and legal risks. However, in any case, it is best to contact a highly qualified lawyer.
Surrogacy Lawyer: What Are The Benefits?
Why is a surrogacy lawyer so important? Here are the main aspects:
- The lawyer will always offer to conclude a notarial agreement between the parents and the surrogate mother. According to this agreement, the surrogate mother has no right to keep the baby for herself under any pretext, and the biological parents do not worry that any medical information may be hidden from them.
- The rights of biological parents are fully protected by the contract.
- According to the law, the child will be registered with biological parents, and the notarial agreement spells out all the rights and obligations of the parties.
