Crisis in the cheap surrogacy market – March 2026

And often, this will deprive you of your last financial opportunity to use surrogacy services. The World Centre of Baby case is another sad confirmation of this.

World Centre of Baby: latest news

In the last weeks of February 2026, reports emerged of the bankruptcy of World Centre of Baby (WCOB), a major player in the surrogacy market. The internet is full of messages from disappointed parents, surrogate mothers and WCOB employees about the suspension of reproductive programmes, unpaid compensation and the suspension of support services in a number of countries, including Ukraine, Mexico, Albania, Cyprus and Georgia.

As of March 2026, the company's website has posted a notice that it is no longer accepting new clients in order to focus on properly completing its affairs before filing for bankruptcy. This is a sad but, unfortunately, predictable end for a company that bet on cheap surrogacy programmes.

As already noted, surrogacy is a complex and expensive process. Therefore, the joy of cheaper surrogacy in Georgia, Mexico or anywhere else is very premature and potentially dangerous – as in the case of WCOB, your programme may be stopped at any stage.

The current situation is such that some of World Centre of Baby's clients, whose programmes are at the gestation stage, are awaiting the completion of their contracts.

The rest are looking for solutions: we are already being approached by people who are either looking for cryotransportation of embryos/oocytes/sperm and continuation of the programme, or want to move on to the stage of finding a surrogate mother and embryo transfer, while for some, the programme has been halted before it even began.

In situations such as the bankruptcy of World Centre of Baby, few are willing to come to the aid of intended parents left to fend for themselves due to the overall complexity of the problem and the need to adapt to the complex legislation of other countries.

At Feskov Human Reproduction Group, we are ready to understand your situation and help. We have a clear plan of action for you. To get started, you need to contact us and tell us in detail at what stage your programme came to a halt. To understand the terms and conditions, we will analyse each individual case, the country where the programme is being carried out, the stage, and other details, and develop an optimal and effective roadmap for you.

Feskov Human Reproduction Group has built its reputation over decades by guaranteeing the birth of a healthy child at a fixed price in the contract. Parents get a healthy child, the contract guarantees a fixed price and an unlimited number of IVF cycles, and surrogate mothers receive decent, regularly indexed compensation. It is these points that have allowed us to bring the joy of parenthood in safe and predictable conditions for more than two decades.
