UKRAINE is one of the countries on the European continent from where the most children born by surrogacy . However, in the last two years, precarious situations in surrogate mothers in a clinic, and GESTLIFE chose to create their own programs with prestigious clinics, and guaranteeing the care of pregnant women, and respect for the code of ethics.
It is not a question of carrying out a surrogacy process at the expense of the exploitation of a woman, who is the one who is going to give us what we most want in our life. The saturation of processes, (a clinic cannot become a “children's factory”) as well as the lack of control on surrogate mothers, led us to create our own programs, which today are the ones that offer the maximum number of guarantees and services.Advantages |

Ukraine Offers surrogate motherhood programs at a cfixed price that includes the most possible contingencies. In the vast majority of cases, there are no extra expenses. |
The majority of surrogacy programs in Ukraine range from between 50,000 and 60,000 euros in total for a surrogacy program |

technical part, for those parents who wish to deepen and better understand what
it's happening.
BACKGROUND
In recent years, France and Italy have been condemned on various occasions for
the Strasbourg Human Rights Court (whose jurisprudence is applicable
automatic in Spanish law, and which is above our laws) by
do not register children born by surrogacy. France, the most
reluctant to surrogate (it is punishable by jail if it is done in France9,
Register now without any difficulty. GESTLIFE does more than 120 processes every
year
of surrogacy for French fathers.
When France was condemned, the Minister of Justice then, (Ruiz Gallardón) gave
the instructions to automatically proceed to the registration of the
children. This has been done for the last 3 years, until the new
PSOE government, contrary and belligerent with surrogacy. From the month
July of last year in which after the motion of censure to Mariano Rajoy,
Pedro Sanchez governs, there have been 4 “hostage” crises in Ukraine with parents
Spanish people. The first two, after the classic "tug of war" ended with the
children's inscription. After all, no matter who it may be, the law is the
law. The penultimate was in February of this year.
On Wednesday, February 7, the consulate announced that it was not registering the
children. The
parents demonstrated at the door, and as it was already known what was going to
happen (fruit
of the other two previous crises) the following Monday the consulate notified the
parents who were going to enroll the children, and so it happened, telling them as
always
"That was going to be the last time." It is clear that a consulate will not act
against
law even if it is "the last time" so they simply complied with the law
enrolling children (otherwise it will be a crime of prevarication that is punishable
by
up to 15 years of disqualification for the official).
The General Directorate of registries and notaries, on which the consulates depend,
tired of these periodic scandals, published a 20-page instruction of
extension on Friday, February 15 in this regard (I did not do it since the last
instruction in 2010), explaining very well all the legislative development and
jurisprudential developed in Spain, up to the present day, reaching the
conclusion that the children should be enrolled as they had been doing in the
last years. This was celebrated by all the parents. At last it was put in writing
what the consulates were putting into practice in recent years.

However, the joy lasted little. The next day, the Minister of Justice Delgado
appeared on television saying that "no one had warned her" and that she had not
she would allow. On February 18, a new instruction is published, this time in just
one
page, and without a single legal or jurisprudential argument, annulling the
instruction
previous.

This instruction has already been appealed in court by various parents, and with
all probability will be annulled, since it violates a myriad of rights
constitutional laws, in addition to European jurisprudence. It's just a matter of
time,
because the instruction of February 15, gives all the necessary arguments to
knock her down. They themselves have given the "weapons" to recurring parents.
Surrogacy is an assisted reproductive technique that has come to
stay, as in its day happened with in vitro fertilization (what such a bad press
had, calling the babies born then by this technique "test tube babies").
Countries in our closest environment, such as the United Kingdom or Greece, have
already
legalized. Irremediably the children born to Spaniards, in sovereign countries
that have a surrogacy law must be recognized by Spain
as ordered by the Jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Human Rights court of
mandatory.
The sole purpose of all this trouble is to "intimidate" parents who want to
start a process, so that the obstacles make them give up and thus reduce the number
of surrogacy in Spain.
Throughout these years, we have gone through complicated stages: the war in Ukraine
with more than 100 deaths, the RUSSIA-UKRAINE relationship, the downing of a plane,
the
state of exception that lasted a month, legislative changes…. It has always happened
something, but our parents have not given up for it. It is never the right time.
But if they had paid attention to the noise, today they would not be parents as they
are.
Obviously we do not agree with the new operation, although we are
offer the possibility of subsequently carrying out the filiation process in
Spain.
But while this is solved, in Gestlife, we get the Ukrainian passport in
4 weeks and the child travels to Spain where we carry out the filiation process. If
all
this is complicated or too stressful, you can carry out your process in
Greece, where we have our own office since 2015, and where a sentence is obtained
judicial (as in the USA), a document that is accepted by the authorities
Spanish.
Greece also offers important advantages:
a) The child acquires Spanish nationality at the Spanish consulate. Leaves Greece
already being one more Spanish.
b) The child is registered from the beginning in the name of the two intending
parents.
c) There is no need for subsequent adoption by the intending mother.
d) The intending mother (and father) can enjoy maternity leave and
parenthood from the first minute.
e) The surrogate mother cannot withdraw.
