Hi there! I hope you are doing well in your life. First of all, let me tell you guys that it is totally fine to go for surrogacy if you can
afford it.There is nothing wrong with going for the treatment. If this treatment makes you happy by giving you a child, then this the thing you need to do.There is a list of clinics available in all over the world. My relatives did the surrogacy from Ukraine. They moved from the US to Ukraine because there was a huge difference among the prices of both the countries. Thankfully! they have been blessed by a baby boy,
who is healthy, cute and looks like his parents. Everyone in this world would want a child of their own and if they can afford that then they must go for it. Wishing you guys all the best and prayers for your future.March 21, 2018 at 5:07 pm #1252hailey johnsonParticipantHello there! I hope you and your husband are doing fine. This is such a good news that your surrogacy is going well. I have been in your shoes. I got married in 2009. I have had two miscarriages since then. I had lost all hope of becoming a mother. Then my husband and I started exploring other options. We found out about a Ukraine based clinic. They told us about surrogacy. We were reluctant in the beginning. Still, we took our chances. Now im blessed with a beautiful baby boy. I think you should not go for something that is cheap but not of good quality as it could prove to be expensive in the long run. Best of luck. Cheers!
March 23, 2018 at 7:29 am #1295TrishaParticipantI can say that we are sailing in the same boat. I have been through surrogacy in Ukraine. Personally I am not working. My husband is the one who is supposed to foot all the bills. So we had to be considerate with the place that taht we will carry out the procedure. Minding that the surrogacy treatment is also not covered by an insurance. So we had to save long for it. And I never wanted to go to a clinic taht will give me negative results at the end of the day. I wanted to do it a one time thing. So I chose a clinic in Ukraine. They are affordable and the service are of quality. I’m America surrogacy is so expensive. That is the reason why people opt for other countries which are affordable. You can hear of people flocking to other countries for treatment. Very hard to hae4r someone coming all the way to America for surrogacy.
March 23, 2018 at 3:03 pm #1308mariya jonesParticipantHello dear! infertility should not be considered a sin and you should not punish yourself for being so. There are clinics in Europe which offer their services of surrogacy at a very favorable price. They have a great atmosphere and friendly environment. I know some people who have children through this process. They are happy with their lives. Hope you find the best for you.
March 23, 2018 at 4:10 pm #1314riazoyerParticipantHi there! don’t lose hope. I have been exactly where you have been. We tried on our own for quite some time, went to the OB they put me on Clomid where I didn’t ovulate 5 out of 6 cycles. Finally, I went to an RE, where they diagnosed me with PCOS.I ended up getting pregnant but that resulted in an mc in dec 2014. In March 2015 we got the green light to start again, trigger shot and on cycle day 9. After 3 rounds of that not working we moved onto an IUI. Hubs needed 10 million sperm he had 50 million and it still didn’t work. Finally, in Sept 2015, we moved to IVF, and now I’m 23 weeks pregnant. I hope your journey isn’t as long as ours, but in case it is you have lots and lots of options in your toolbag.
March 24, 2018 at 9:48 am #1333NINAParticipantHey dear!I believe you are doing good in life. Women who are infertile must not punish themselves for this infertlity. Modern science has found a solution for their infertility that is surrogacy. To explain this process better you must visit a clinic. There are clinics in Europe who can help hope this helps and you find what you want.
March 24, 2018 at 10:52 am #1334NINAParticipantHey dear!I believe you are doing good in life.My friend was infertile, so she went for the solution. She came to know about surrogacy and she went to the clinic in Ukraine. they told her about everything and she had her surrogacy there. Later she had a baby. She was happier than ever. I hope people suffering from it may solve issues of their lives. Best wishes.
March 25, 2018 at 2:16 pm #1364Joanne SilviaParticipantHello there. Hope you’re doing great! Yes yes, I’ll be opting for surrogacy abroad. I have my final check-up meeting scheduled for next week. Can’t wait! So far, I’ve liked them every bit. They seem like professionals. Hope it goes well!
March 26, 2018 at 10:31 am #1389AnonymousInactiveHello Missha. As you have already gone through all this procedure. So I would like to take some tips from you. I need some suggestions from you. I am 33 years old. My problem is that I cannot conceive naturally. Because doctor recognized me of heart disease. I have mitral stenosis. Due to which blood in my heart veins do not flow in a streamline manner. Rather its flow is in turbulent way. Thus, doctor said that I should not try to conceive in future. Now I am thinking of any other way to have a baby. As you have told your success story, I am considering it. But don’t have any proper information about it. That which clinic I should visit. What are your opinion in this regard. Please suggest me some good clinic as I am very tensed that what gonna happen with me now If I cant become a mommy.
March 26, 2018 at 11:00 am #1396MilanParticipantFor some people experiencing fertility problems, the costs of investigation and infertility treatment in the UK may be beyond their budget. When a person or couple consider the idea of undergoing IVF abroad. That is, turning to fertility tourism. The first thing they should do is to get essential information and tips on how to choose a clinic. And what will be the best country to travel in accordance with their situation, family type, etc. Regulations vary from country to country. And each clinic operates by different rules depending on its location. Before choosing a clinic. You should ask yourself the following questions: In which countries is the treatment you require legal? Do you meet the basic requirements? Are you within the legal age limit? Is the cost of the treatment within your budget? These questions, along with the crucial information to help you choose the most suitable country we give you hereunder. Will help you choose the most ideal destination for you.
March 27, 2018 at 5:50 pm #1458AnonymousInactiveWow, you’re going there too? 😀 I guess the surrogacy industry there is booming these days. Everybody is talking so well of the clinics there. I am proud to admit that I’ve had my surrogacy there, too. You’re not the only one flying abroad to get themselves a baby. There are thousands of us! Good luck with all the procedures. Oh, you know what the best part is? Most clinics there even offer to assist you in all legal formalities even after childbirth. I also had a great stay there that I didn’t even pay for. You’re absolutely right about the expenses. It is comparably very affordable. I had my surrogacy in 2016, and the price hasn’t gone up much since then. It’s good to see people finally accepting assisted reproduction. I really hope that you return with a baby. Good luck!
March 28, 2018 at 11:30 pm #1498YevgeniyaParticipantHello, Missha and everyone. I am writing on behalf of my friends who’ve just come back home to Spain with their baby-girl Maria born through surrogacy in Ukraine. They didn’t trust advertisements so I made a research for them more then 1,5 year ago (because I live in Kiev and that was easy for me to collect all the information about the clinics and agencies). They had their lawyer who explained all the rules about legalization the baby in Spain. But the clinic (almost all the best clinics in Kiev have their own lawyers and legal support) provided them with all necessary docs (birth certificate) and gave a good advice how to get prepared for the interview at the Embassy. There was only one situation that made my friends nervous- the changing of the Ambassador of Spanish Embassy in Kiev but at the end of the day they had no problems. I don’t know if I can tell the name of the clinic (may be it will sound like an advertisement). But I just want to say that my friends didn’t face with any problems.
The clinic was even ready to provide the accommodation, transfer and all other needed services. But that was unnecessary because I helped my friends with all that stuff.
Regarding the medicine and medical service I was worried a lot because I’d never faced with that before and I knew I was responsible for my friends’ “future life”. So I went to 4 clinics like a patient (just for consultation) to see around and compare. I was sooooo impressed by the level of technologies and professionalism of Ukrainian doctors. At the end of the day we chose the clinic that had 18 checked and ready surrogate mothers so we didn’t have to wait for searching. Btw that clinic also had own database of donors (carefully checked only in that clinic, like they claimed), own laboratory and very impressive embryology. My friends came to Kiev for signing papers, meeting surrogate mother and collecting Martin’s sperm. All other things were done by doctors. I got the power of attorney for signing all other docs with the clinic of behalf of my friends. I got alone with the surrogate mother Khristina who was really sweet and responsible. We caught up from time to time on Skype all together (by the way the staff of international department of the clinic was always in touch with parents for updating the information abt SM health).
When Kristina was on her 36th week Martin and Natasha came to Kiev. Maria showed up on the 39th week, parents were presented at the maternity house (but only Natasha could see the process of delivery, not Martin- that was Khristina’s wish). The same day the coordinator and representative of the clinic came by. The next day the lawyer of the clinic helped to sign all the papers and prepared all the docs for getting the birth certificate. I know that my friends went to the Embassy several times and they said everything went smoothly.
Maria was checked by the doctor from the maternity house but the clinic was ready to provide a private pediatrician if needed. Fortunately the baby girl was doing well so we didn’t use that option. I just called my doctor (the one who has been checking my girl for 3 years) to check if everything is ok.
Thanks God we went through that challenge almost without any problems. Like my friends say, Maria is a happy baby, she has many parents;)))) and they say that I am one of them. It’s a great honor to hear that. God bless that little baby-boo, the good doctors, Khristina and Maria’s parents!
And it’s always good to have friends around the world)))
I wish the same good experience for every couple who are getting ready for going through that not easy process. Don’t be afraid, just go ahead. The happiness worth that.
I went through that challenge with my friends so dear future parents don’t be afraid to ask any questions. I’ll always reply when I have chance.
I hope my story will be useful for someone.March 29, 2018 at 12:43 am #1499AnonymousInactiveHey Missha, glad to know that you found the right path. And is satisfied now. As you have gone through all this procedure so I would like to take some suggestions from you regarding my case. I am 33 years old. My problem is that I cannot conceive naturally.

March 29, 2018 at 6:15 pm #1519Jess blingParticipantYou are right Missha. Prices for surrogacy vary worldwide. In USA, UK, and Canada they are comparatively high. I also found out that prices in some European countries are lower and affordable. I live in Canada and when I visited a clinic I was shaken by the price. It was very expensive. I could have arranged the money but again there was no guarantee.My money could have been sent in vain. Then I was connected with a clinic in Western Europe. As I said the budget was affordable.The best part was that they offered me multiple attempts. The accommodation was also provided. I was so delighted by this. It was a great value for my money. So you are not the only one with a great abroad surrogate clinic. I am part of the list too.
March 29, 2018 at 7:53 pm #1527MeeParticipantHello dear! I agree that many clinics in mentioned country are expensive but my friend went there last year for surrogacy and they have different packages for the parents who cannot afford. Don’t worry you can message me so that i can ask her about the clinic and the package she selected. I hope this will help you change your mind. Best of luck.
