Our surrogates are central to our promise of exceptional quality. InterContinental Surrogacy and our surrogates take our respective roles seriously!  When navigating surrogacy in a foreign country such as Ukraine, it is essential to work with a reliable agency that ensures that all gestational surrogates are well educated, well compensated and pass strict medical standards and mental well-being. 
As a U.S. based company, we make sure that all of our intended parents are informed of and have confidence in every detail of their surrogacy journey. 
The role of gestational carrier is regulated under Ukraine law. InterContinental Surrogacy not only follows the law but takes additional steps to ensure our surrogates are mentally and physically fit. Our surrogates are 100% engaged and enthusiastic to have a healthy pregnancy and deliver a perfect baby into this world!  
This is why we feel that International surrogacy in Ukraine is a perfect solution for American couples that cannot afford to undertake surrogacy in the United States or who already waited years trying to build a family and don’t want to wait years more for a surrogate in the U.S. to be available.

How We Find the Perfect Match

  • 1

    We go beyond basic health information by collecting nuanced details from our gestational carrier candidates and also from our intended parents. Our questions help us understand goals and outcomes that both parties hope to achieve. Here are a few examples of the information we use to build a profile and find the perfect match between our intended parents and gestational carriers:

Intended Parents

    Tell us about your family
    Where did you meet your spouse?
    What are your hobbies and interests?
    Will this be your first child?
    Would you consider twins?
    How do you want to approach selective reduction?
    How often and by which methods do you want to communicate with your surrogate? 
    Does the intended mother wish to attend birth? 

Gestational Carrier Candidates

    What do you want your intended parents to know about you and your family?
    Why are you interested in becoming a gestational carrier?
    What goals do you have for your life? 
    How would people describe your personality?
    What are your favorite things in life?
    Describe your diet, activity level and lifestyle
    Are you willing to carry twins?
    Are you comfortable if the intended mother is in the delivery room?

    After we have a clear picture of your needs and desires, we will select a candidate for your review that we think is a perfect match based on your profile. We think you will find them a perfect match, as well! You are not obligated to accept any candidate until you feel 100% comfortable. This journey will create a life lasting bond with the woman who helps you become parents. Spending extra time on this selection and making sure she is cared for and comfortable with the journey should be a top priority.

    Once both the surrogate and you have accepted one another’s profile, InterContinental Surrogacy sets up a video meeting with both parties. If both parties agree that it is a good fit, we have a perfect match! 

Regardless of preference, Ukraine regulates gestational carriers and provides guidelines.

A Ukrainian woman who wishes to be a gestational carrier must meet the following minimum requirements per Ukraine law:


● She must be of legal age (over 21 years old) She must have at least one child of her own She must be physically and mentally prepared to carry and deliver a baby

InterContinental goes beyond the regulations for our surrogates:

Medical visits – our medical coordinator will accompany gestational carrier to every medical visit, beginning with her first medical screening.Psychological consultations – InterContinental is the only agency in Ukraine that has an in-house psychologist. Our surrogates meet with a licensed psychologist and a report will be provided to the intended parents. We take the additional step of providing psychological support to our surrogates throughout the pregnancy and after the delivery.  Home-study – we carefully examine the surrogate’s living condition and surroundings, including interviewing everyone in her household.Life insurance – a life insurance policy will be purchased for and provided to the surrogate, as an added level of assurance. Fair compensation – our surrogates are compensated well above the average annual household income in Ukraine. These funds are paid incrementally throughout the pregnancy. At InterContinental we want you to be sure that your surrogate is receiving the full compensation, with no intermediaries, directly in US dollars via Western Union or through the surrogate’s bank account if she has one.
