How Ukraine can keep babies born of surrogacy safe
Live MintGovernments around the world are pulling out all stops to evacuate their citizens from Ukraine, but as the war rages on, there is one set of refugees with no immediate hope in sight—the babies born to Ukrainian surrogates. Unless both commissioning parents come physically and sign the paperwork, the babies born to the surrogate mothers in Ukraine cannot leave the country as they are without a nationality. How and when will parents from countries like Canada, China or Australia reach Ukraine to collect their babies? The popularity of Ukraine as a surrogacy hub rose after some countries like India and Thailand closed their doors to foreigners seeking surrogacy services. The Indian government then sent a note to all its embassies asking them not to issue visas for fertility treatment to citizens of countries that do not recognise babies born of surrogacy.
