So sorry about your loss. I hope you are able to find happiness again. This post has been very helpful. I have been researching about surrogacy outside the country, as the costs are extremely high here. we were looking at BioTExCom and they seem the right ones for us. I was initially apprehensive about the language barriers, but they have assured that won't be an issue as they have translators. They have also explained about the various packages they have. All this at a fraction of a cost compared to the ones at home. Thank you for all the detailed information everyone!

Hello Ladies,

was looking for a place for surrogate mothers for last year and would strongly recommend to avoid places like Russia, Belorussia and India.
First two because of the absolute absence of any legal base for the surrogacy and unimaginable level of bureaucracy (the kid would be 18 before you collect all necessary documents :( ). Plus there some restrictions for taking kids for people from countries where gay marriage is allowed. And many other nasty surprises...
For India my main concern is extremely poor medical support. More or less reach girls do not want to be surrogate mothers, from poor families girls has so many own health problems that the risk of miscarrying is very high. Plus it is not possible to control their living conditions.
So my list shorten and now countries for me to consider is the USA and famous for it Ukraine.
will update during the course of event.

I am also looking for surrogacy. I am a new member here. I am just 27 years old now. When I got married my age was 25 years old. I married to the person I love a lot. He was the love of my life. We were happy when a road accident changed everything. Life is so unpredictable. I am infertile now due to a bad road accident. I am here for taking the opinion of surrogacy. Also, I want to get motivated. Ukraine is best according to my friends. What are you suggesting?

Hello, dear. Your husband is right. You should choose Europe if you don't want to overpay. I know that because my sister had to go for the surrogacy a couple of years ago. Her husband is not rich at all, so they were looking for some cheaper options. They have chosen the reproduction center in Europe. They came back home with their baby. I'm very glad that surrogacy helped them. They were so frustrated. They spent 6 years ttc just like you. But my sister never got pregnant. It is a great pleasure to see my sister being so happy now. I'm glad that I became a part of her happiness. I was spending a lot of time with them during their surrogacy process. I wanted to help them as much as I could.
You are such a brave woman to make this decision. A lot of couples are afraid of the surrogacy. I just don't understand why. I don't think that adoption is much better. Surrogacy gives a chance to get your biological baby. As for me it is great. You are not betraying your child. It sounds ridiculous. You are helping your child to be born. If you are unable to give birth, let some other woman do it for you.
I’ve heard that nowadays a lot of women find surrogates because they just don’t want to give birth. Sounds strange, doesn’t it? But it’s true. This service is getting more and more popular.
I’m sure that surrogacy will help you to become parents. Don’t be afraid, I think everyone here would support you. :lol:

Thank you for sharing this story with us! This is so inspiring that your sister didn't give up. She had to overcome so many problems. But she didn't lose hope and kept going. I know how hard it is not to give up when your face infertility. I had cancer of a uterus. There is no chance for me to carry a baby. My depression almost killed me. I thought that life is over and nothing in this world can make me happy. I'm so grateful to my husband who supported me. Your sister is also a lucky girl because she has you. The way you described the situation shows that you care about your sister a lot. I hope our journey will also start as soon as possible! Such stories give me so much inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Hi all! have the same thing, well at least i'm looking for the same fertility treatment now. We are still deciding where to go, Georgia or Ukraine. The cost is pretty the same and I tend to trust Georgia a bit more. has anyone experience with New Life? I have contacted the agency and they seems great. Not sure that ukraine is a better place for such treatment taking into account that the country is so poor and unstable in different aspects. Any advice would be most welcome!
Hope you all are doing well xx

Hello Jossy,

It's worth looking onto surrogacyinfo. They're dealing with egg donation and surrogacy processes, so that we got interested. Also there's a plenty of things they offer to their intended patients. They had a free consultation with the patient coordinator. They explained us the process and shared their own family story which made you cry.

Happy to Help :)

Hello, dear. I’ve gone through surrogacy and I can answer some of your questions. Our twin boys were born by the surrogate 8 months ago. Choosing the reproduction center is a very hard task. We visited a lot of clinics to find the one we liked. We traveled around the world because we were not sure which country to choose. To say truth, your husband is right. Clinics in Europe offer the same service but at the lower price. The VIP package in Europe costs the same price as the economy one in USA. The quality of medicine is pretty good there. We have chosen the reproduction center in Ukraine. We visited it twice and we both liked it very much. It is called BioTexCom. We have chosen the VIP package because it included the multiple quantity of tries.
The waiting time for VIP couples is the smallest. We signed an agreement and the embryo was transferred in 1 month. We were so excited. After the embryo transfer you will also have to wait for 3 weeks to find out the result. Thank God it was positive.
By the way, we had no language difficulties. Our doctor and clinic’s representative speak English very well. When we arrived to this country for the first time, the representative of the medical center met us at the airport. He brought us to our apartment. It looked pretty modern. There are a lot of videos on their YouTube channel. You can watch them because they all show the real situation. 26
So, we returned to our work when we found out that we were about to become parents. We visited our surrogate once a month. Our doctor was calling us with the latest news. We had nothing to worry about. Everything was not as scary as I imagined.

There are many recent sock accounts here advertising for that clinic by pretending to be patients there.

I would avoid any clinic that advertises so deceptively.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

26? 26 what?

Is that a copy/paste error?

I am so sorry for your loss. It is the worst situation ever. It is brave of you to go through this situation. As far as surrogacy is concerned my aunt went through this. She is happy and healthy now. She consulted a clinic in Ukraine. I also visited that clinic as I myself had some complications. Maybe giving a visit can help. They will help you find a better solution. http://mother-surrogate.info/. Visiting the site will also help. Wishing you good luck!

Well, I see this forum won't be any helpful to me. I wonder if there is smeone who has real experience with surrogacy elsewhere. @Ghost I believe you should know if there are people who share details of their journey so I can get in touch with them. I'm still hesitating and have lots of concerns regarding the completely new experience. I would be grateful if you can give me that piece of advise because I'm braking my back of all this. Thanks
