Drafting and Signing of Information and Legal Documents in Ukraine

It goes without saying, that competent, successive and timely issuance of necessary documents as well as their signing by all participants during all programme stages is the most important condition. When competent lawyers coordinate this process, risk of legal problems after child delivery is minimized.

Within our competence we process the following documents:

written consent of Intended Parents to carriage of an embryo, conceived by means of in vitro fertilization, by a Surrogate;
written consent of a Donor to providing and usage of her/his biological (genetic) material – gamete, written consent of a Surrogate for carriage of an embryo of Intended Parents as well as consent of Surrogate’s husband (if applicable);
statement of a Surrogate/a Donor about absence of claims towards Intended Parents after completion of surrogacy/donation programmes (certified by a notary);
written consent of a Surrogate to registration Biological (Intended) Parents as parent of a born child in the Vital Registration Office (certified by a notary), etc;
other necessary legal documents and mechanisms.

The next stage is collecting and submitting of all documents to the Vital Registration Office.

As for child registration, Item 2.2. of the Decree of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine No. 140/5 from November 18, 2003 “About amendments and additions to Rules of civil registration in Ukraine: “In case of child birth by the women which was implanted by fetus, conceived by the spouse, the child is registered upon the declaration of spouses, which gave their consent for implantation. In this case together with the document, confirming the fact of child birth, the woman has to provide notarized written consent for registration spouse as legal parents of the child. Thereby, there is a certain note in column “For notes”: “The citizen (surname, name, patronymic) is the mother of the child according to a medical birth certificate of 103/о-95(z0266-95) form.”
