Is gay surrogacy in Ukraine possible?

No. Ukrainian law currently limits surrogacy to heterosexual married couples only. However, Pogotowie offers legal and medical surrogacy options for same-sex parents in inclusive European countries.

What countries allow surrogacy for same-sex couples?

Destinations like Greece, Georgia (under certain conditions), Mexico (state-dependent), Canada, Colombia, and select U.S. states allow legal gay surrogacy. We’ll help you choose the right one for your situation.

Can both gay dads/mums be on the birth certificate?

Yes. In LGBTQ+ friendly jurisdictions, both intended fathers can be listed as legal parents. This ensures you can return to your home country as a recognized family.

How much does surrogacy for gay couples cost?

Costs vary depending on location, medical complexity, donor involvement, and legal fees. On average, total expenses range from €60,000 to €120,000. We offer transparent packages and flexible planning.

Gay Surrogacy in Europe for Same-Sex Parents

For same-sex male couples who dream of a child, surrogacy is a real and legal path to parenthood — with a biological bond to their own child. This possibility exists and has been successfully used for many years: thousands of male couples around the world have become parents through surrogacy programmes. Today it is no longer an exception, but an established process with clear medical and legal stages.

How it works

The embryos are created using donor eggs and the sperm of one or both partners. Within a single programme, the sperm of both partners can be used — allowing embryos to be created from each of them, and in some cases genetically related children for both. The resulting embryos are transferred to the surrogate or surrogates, who carry the pregnancy.

Registration of the child

The child is registered in the name of one of the parents and of the surrogate.

The programme step by step

Consultation — assessment of the medical and legal situation, selection of a suitable jurisdiction
Selection of an egg donor — from a database of screened, healthy donors
Creation of embryos — IVF using the sperm of one or both partners
Selection of a surrogate — following medical and psychological screening
First visit — Bratislava, Slovakia (freezing of biological material, signing of documents)
Pregnancy — medical supervision and regular updates throughout the entire term
Birth in Europe — processing of the documents for the child and departure

Coordination support

Coordination takes place at every stage of gay surrogacy, under the supervision of our staff.
This keeps the parents’ presence to a minimum: the first visit is for freezing the biological material, the second to collect the child once born in Europe, at the end of the programme.

Medical support

Thanks to the high effectiveness of the procedures, we can work with the biological material of men, including at the age of 50 and above.The open egg donor model lets you choose a donor on personal characteristics matching the parents’ wishes, not on medical criteria alone.

Legal Support

Surrogacy for a same-sex couple requires careful legal coordination and protection. Our years of experience guarantee the future parents a complete set of documents, allowing them to make decisions about their child’s future independently, with full legal security after the birth.

Surrogacy for gay men relies on gestational surrogacy: the embryos are created using donor eggs and the sperm of one or both partners. Within a single programme, the sperm of both partners can be used — allowing embryos to be created from each of them, and in some cases genetically related children for both. The resulting embryos are transferred to the surrogate or surrogates, who carry the pregnancy. The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child.

The child is registered in the name of one of the parents and of the surrogate.

Choosing the Egg Donor

The egg donor is the source of the maternal genetic material, so selection matters. You can review candidates in our egg donor database, with medical history, screening results and photos, and choose consciously rather than on medical criteria alone.
