Overview of Gay Surrogacy
Surrogacy for gay parents involves creating embryos using donor eggs and the sperm of one or both partners, followed by implantation into a surrogate. While the core medical steps are similar to heterosexual surrogacy, there are additional legal and logistical considerations for same-sex families, especially when navigating multiple jurisdictions.
How Pogotowie Can Help?
We’ve created a global support network that includes clinics, legal professionals, donor agencies, and surrogate recruitment teams all working with inclusivity and transparency at their core. When Ukraine’s laws exclude LGBTQ+ families, our team connects you with alternative European destinations where laws are more inclusive.
What we provide:
-
Legal guidance across international jurisdictions
-
Egg donor matching from verified, healthy donors
-
Surrogate recruitment & screening
-
Embryo transfer & IVF coordination
-
Psychological support & wellness counseling
-
Full parental rights documentation and exit strategy
Why It Matters?
For same-sex couples, legal recognition and parentage are everything. Without it, returning home with your child can be a legal challenge. That’s why Pogotowie only works in locations where both parents in a gay couple can be recognized on the birth certificate. Our legal team ensures your rights are fully protected from start to finish.
