Private surrogacy in the UK

Read time: 1 minutes

    In the UK, commercial surrogacy is prohibited. The law allows surrogates to provide services on a non-profit basis. The biological parents of the child pay only the running costs of surrogate mothers: food, clothing, accommodation, medical procedures and others. Compensation will be about 20 thousand dollars.  The private surrogacy costs in the UK, taking into account payment of current expenses, medical examinations and doctor's prescriptions, is approaching 50 thousand dollars.

    A surrogate mother has the opportunity to refuse to participate in the program and leave the newborn to herself. The court, in most cases, will confirm her custody rights. Moreover, even the preliminary conclusion of the contract does not insure future parents from such an outcome.

    There are practically no restrictions for UK citizens: couples in any family status: official marriage or partnerships can become participants in the reproductive program using surrogacy. The only strict requirement is UK citizenship. Foreigners cannot take advantage of private surrogacy in the UK.
