Surrogacy. Surrogate motherhood

Surrogate motherhood. History.

The infertility problem or people’s incapability to have children and to continue their family line is known from ancient time. The idea of surrogacy ( surrogate motherhood ) goes back to those times as well.
The first case of surrogate motherhood in the Old Testament (The Book of Genesis, 16) so long ago as two thousand years before Christ, when a maidservant Hagar was attracted as a surrogate mother to bear an Abrahan’s child, as his wife Sarah could not become pregnant.

Many similar cases of solving the infertility problem are known: bondmaids and concubines were used as surrogate mothersin many coutries all over the world.

Of course, at that time the so-called “ traditional surrogacy - surrogate motherhood ” only was possible where the customer father and the surrogate mother herself were the genetic parents, and the fertilization was conducted in a natural way.

The first successful in vitro artificial fertilization with subsequent extracorporeal fertilization took place in England in 1978 resulting in birth of famous Louise Brown, the first in vitro child!

Use of extracorporeal fertilization, bearing and birth by a surrogate mother of a child fully genetically alien to her (gestational or full surrogacy ( surrogate motherhood )) first succeeded in USA in 1986.

More than two million in vitro children were born in the world during 30 years that passed after Louise Brown birth. This means that more than two millions of families managed to overcome the infertility problem, become the parents of beloved and longed-for children and have the successors and continuers of their family traditions!

Surrogacy ( surrogate motherhood ) in Ukraine.

In Ukraine the start of introduction of methods of supporting reproductive medicine was given in eighties of the preceding century. It was Kharkov where the extracorporeal fertilization method was for the first time successfully applied in Ukraine, and thanks to use of extracorporeal fertilization there was born in 1991 a girl named Katy.

Kharkov was also the first in CIS countries to realize the surrogate motherhood Program. Above 400 in vitro children were born in Kharkov just during last ten years.

Surrogacy ( surrogate motherhood )Today

The medical constituent of the surrogacy ( surrogate motherhood ) Program has been intensely developing for all these years and now it is being realized at the highest technological level – now physicians need not take 600 attempts of the extracorporeal fertilization, which were taken to make possible birth of Louise Brown. The legal constituent of the surrogacy motherhood Program remains so far insufficiently settled in many countries.

For example, surrogacy motherhood is prohibited by law in Austria, Germany, Norway, Sweden, France and some states of the USA.

Attraction of surrogate mothers for infertility treatment is not governed by law at all in Belgium, Greece, Ireland, Finland, though it is practiced.

Some countries only allow non-commercial surrogacy motherhood when the surrogate mother gets no fee, and advertising of surrogacy motherhood and search for surrogate mothers are prohibited. Such is the legislation of Australia, the UK, Denmark, Israel, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands and some states of the USA.

Non-commercial surrogacy ( surrogate motherhood ) is more acceptable for those couples who have to advert to artificial fertilization methods since the services of reproduction clinics are rather expensive. And at the same time anyone has a right to satisfy his or her interests, so a surrogate mother has a right for gratitude for her help.

Kharkov surrogacy motherhood Center tries to find a balance between the interests of all the participants of the program, so the fee to the surrogate mothers chosen by our Center is not too high, though expected; the families having no sufficient means are financed partially or fully at the expense of charity programs of our surrogacy motherhood Center.

Use of surrogate mothers, including commercial-base one, is allowed by law in the majority of states of the USA, the Republic of South Africa, Russian Federation, Georgia and Ukraine.

Our country has the most perfect legislation relating to surrogacy motherhood, insemenation and sperm and ova donorship, as well as application of other reproductive technologies for infertility treatment. However these legal issues are rather complicated and not many lawyers are good in all the peculiarities of this field.
