Great Britain is rightfully considered a highly developed country with a rich history and strict, conservative traditions.

International surrogacy program with childbirth in the Great Britain

How is surrogacy regulated in the Great Britain?

The Surrogacy Act was adopted in 1985. According to him, in the Great Britain, an altruistic type of service is legalized only for citizens of the United Kingdom. This implies that it is a crime to pay a surrogate mother's fee in the Great Britain for a job that should not be announced. But, it is permissible to compensate for the "reasonable expenses" incurred by her.

However, the “reasonableness” or “non-reasonableness” of costs is determined by the state. In case that the court decides that the future parents paid an excessive amount of reimbursement, the surrogate mother in the Great Britain is obliged to return the sought-after part of the money from the entire price. Otherwise, the court will not give permission to receive the Parental Rights Order.

Any intermediary activity, advertising, search for a surrogate mother in the Great Britain, information about the price are prohibited by law.

But, the main provision of the Law, causing well-founded fears among future parents, is the statement that a surrogate mother in the Great Britain [price] is considered the legal mother of the child. According to the principle of Roman law, mater semper certa est - the mother is always reliably known. Even in the absence of a genetic link with the child. Accordingly, the husband or partner of the surrogate mother is considered the father. At the same time, all contracts and agreements concluded with it have no legal force and are not subject to mandatory execution. Therefore, she has every right to keep the newborn for herself, and the parents will be left without money and without a child.

According to the laws of the Kingdom, future parents are obliged to provide financial support to a surrogate mother in the Great Britain from the very beginning of the program, even at the stage of embryo transfer, even before pregnancy is determined. When in other countries loyal to surrogacy, payments begin only after a clinically confirmed pregnancy (Ukraine, Belgium, USA, Czech Republic, Canada). And this is logical, since no one can say how many embryo transfers will be required to be successful.

Also, the disadvantage of surrogacy in the Great Britain can be considered as a prohibition of the anonymity of donation. A child who has reached the age of majority (18 years old) has the right to full information about the circumstances of his birth. This leads to a long waiting period for donor genetic material (eggs, sperm). Due to the fact that some candidates are not suitable for the conditions of transparency of personal information.

To become legal parents of a child born under a surrogacy program in the Great Britain, you must apply for a Parental Rights Ordinance or adoption. Which entails additional costs, wasted time and anxiety, without a guarantee of results.

But what about the British spouses who want to have a child in the homeland, with the obtaining of all the rights due to him and automatic citizenship?

Opportunity to become legal parents in the Great Britain with guarantees at Ukrainian prices

Project that combines the advantages of both countries - an exclusive surrogacy program in Great Britain "Childbirth in Great Britain". It guarantees the birth of a healthy child in the Great Britain from a Ukrainian surrogate mother, with an easy and quick legalization procedure and, most importantly, with obtaining the citizenship of the country!

Part of this international program takes place in Ukraine, where the legislation is friendly to surrogate motherhood, and according to which the rights of genetic parents and surrogate mothers are strictly defined. The law protects parents and a born child as much as possible, regardless of which country they are citizens of.

After the conclusion of a legal contract on surrogacy, a surrogacy program in the Great Britain "Childbirth in the Great Britain" starts.

The contract contains points:

on cooperation with a surrogate mother in the Great Britain, the price of the service;
a separate contract on the implementation of the program in Ukraine;
childbirth of the surrogate mother in the Great Britain.

These documents regulate the rights and obligations of the parties and guarantee the fulfillment of their obligations. For example, as part of the surrogacy program in the Great Britain, we guarantee the birth of a healthy baby:

genetic screening of an embryo by PGD / NGS methods determines chromosomal pathologies;
transfer of only genetically healthy embryos;
restart of the program until the result, in case of termination of pregnancy, death of the child and other force majeure.

It is worth noting that citizens of the country who pay insurance contributions receive a unique number (NHS Number), on the basis of which they can apply for free medical care. At the same time, service in private and public clinics differs only in the presence of a very significant cost. As evidenced by the statistics, the British women themselves calmly give birth in free public clinics, and only 5% of them prefer to pay money in private institutions. In any case, foreign women in labor are required to give birth on an equal basis with all other patients, according to the decrees of the Ministry of Health. However, sometimes the clinic may later issue an invoice for its services.

A significant advantage of the international surrogacy program in the Great Britain is that, even without leaving the United Kingdom, you can become full-fledged parents, thanks to the remote stages of the package! To do this, you will need to transport the sperm of a man from a married couple to Ukraine (in the case of a donor, it is even easier). And then there is work with female eggs.

Also, for our patients, we are implementing an unprecedented service for the selection of a surrogate mother and a donor, according to the conclusions from personal communication! You could to communicate live or via the Internet with selected candidates and make the most correct decision. At the same time, the price of a surrogate mother in the Great Britain is already included in the total cost of the package, as well as an unlimited set of donor eggs, IVF, pregnancy monitoring, legal, transportation, guest and related services.
