The question of whether a surrogate mother is biologically related to the child is key for all future parents. The child is genetically related exclusively to his biological parents or 50% to donors, and the surrogate mother provides only temporary physiological support.

In 2026, the optimal age threshold for surrogacy is from 21 to 39 years (inclusive), while the upper age threshold for surrogacy is 40 years in leading clinics.

In 2026, in vitro fertilization (IVF) provides the basic standard for the most accurate assessment of embryo quality and potential – preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which includes PGT-M (detection of monogenic diseases) and PGT-A (aneuploidy screening).

In 2025, couples from EU countries where surrogacy is prohibited continue to look for reliable options for reproductive medicine programs abroad.

In 2026, expectant parents do not always understand the difference between gestational and traditional surrogacy.

Surrogacy in Colombia in 2026, against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and legislative changes in Georgia, Greece and Argentina, is being actively promoted as a form of reproductive tourism.

Future parents choosing a country for a surrogacy program need to consider two important aspects: medical and legal.

The decision to involve a surrogate mother in the reproductive program requires being well-informed and conducting a balanced analysis of multiple factors.

When the need to use donor material in treatment of infertility is in question many future parents are reasonably worried about genes their child will inherit from a donor. After all, it is genetics that the future of the child largely depends on – health, inclinations, appearance. Ukraine is now a popular country for residents of Europe and the CIS countries who need help in treating infertility. Egg donation is one of the most popular services provided by reproductive clinics. Obviously, the question of what are the advantages of Ukrainian genetics and its features will also be relevant.
