Ukrainian authorities hiding three-year-old surrogate daughter from her American mother17.12.10 On Tuesday, December 21, at 11.00 the press center of the Interfax-Ukraine news agency will host a press conference and video linkup, entitled "Ukrainian authorities illegally hindering the return of a U.S. citizen's daughter born via a surrogate mother three years ago in Ukraine." The participants include U.S. citizen Jeanette Runyon and her lawyers. Death is not the end.23.09.10
Last year a 22 years old medical student developed leukosis. Before the chemotherapy started his mother Natalya Yuryevna had persuaded him to leave his sperm sample for crioconservation. Treatment didn’t lead to any results and several months later Artem died in the hospital on his mother’s lap. As soon as the monitor showed that his heart stopped beating, I remembered about his frozen genetic material – Artem’s mother says. I am 41 years old and I could give birth to my own child but what I needed was a grandson, manifestation of my son. In one of St. Pete’s reproduction clinics Natalya Yurievna selected an egg-donor and, in order to enhance chances, found two surrogate mothers. There was too little sperm this is why only one attempt could be done. Two weeks later Natalya Klimova got to know that one of the surrogate mothers was bearing her grandson. The child was born before term as the surrogate mother’s placenta started peeling off – but he was healthy though a bit premature. His weight was 2,800 and height 47 cm. The happy grandmother named his grandson Egor. Egor is the second posthumously born surrogate child in Russia. The first posthumous surrogacy program was successfully implemented in 2005 in Yekaterinburg for the Zacharovs family. On the 5th of November 2010 Ekaterina Germanovna’s grandson, Georgy, will be 5 years old. No wife needed: Single Men Can Become Dads through Surrogacy, Moscow Court Says.20.08.10 On August 04th, 2010 Babushkinsky District Court decided that single man who applied for gestational surrogacy (donor eggs were used) can be registered as father of his new born “surrogate” child. Surrogate’s name won’t be listed on the birth certificate. The First Single Dad Through Surrogacy in Russia was represented in Court by lawyers of the Rosjurconsulting law firm, specializing in reproductive law and surrogacy. The Moscow Court’s landmark decision confirmed once more: single intended parents regardless of their sex or sexual orientation can implement their right for parenthood through surrogacy in Russia. Such world famous bachelors as singer Ricky Martin and football player Christiano Ronaldo already became fathers with help of American surrogate mothers. India’s surrogate business wracked by legal problems.19.08.10 Childless couples desperate to start a family are turning to India in search of surrogate mothers. Yet the process is risky in legal terms, with some Western couples leaving India without their newborn child. In some parts of the country having babies on behalf of other people has become a profitable business. Jaishree Patel is expecting her second child – only this time round it is not hers. The genetic parents live on the other side of the world. Jaishree is a surrogate mother and is carrying the baby of a childless American couple. “I will feel sad giving up my baby, but it is their baby, and I have agreed to sell it to them,” she said. “It is a good deed. When someone is childless, giving them a child is a good deed.” Anand, a town in Western India traditionally known more for dairy farming, is now India’s surrogacy capital. Dr. Nayna Patel has been at the forefront of this, with her clinic arranging surrogate babies for 55 foreign couples a year. “We create an embryo – it’s an IVF procedure where the egg from the genetic mother and sperm from the genetic father is taken and an embryo is created in the lab,” Patel explained. “That embryo is put in the surrogate, because this mother is not capable of carrying the child. And after nine months, when the baby is delivered, the surrogate will hand over the baby to the couple, and in return the couple compensates the surrogate for taking her services.” Rashida Bohra will receive $6,500 when she delivers a baby later this month. This is a large sum in rural India, and she plans to use it to fund the education of her 14-year old son, and to buy a house. However, her son wasn’t supportive. “My son was initially very angry, he said you can’t carry someone else’s child,” Bohra recalled. “He said, ‘If you can give up this baby for money, you can give me up as well’.” I said “No, I’m doing this for you.” Surrogate mothers spend the first eight months of their pregnancy at a care home close to the clinic. The cost is met by foreign couples, who pay $100 a month. Anthony Otebula and his wife are visiting from the United States, and may choose a surrogate here, even though America leads the world in surrogacy. “In the United States, it is very exorbitant. The price is too much,” Otebula claimed. “And bringing it to reality is very difficult, this is what Hollywood stars can do. It costs over 100,000 dollars, but in India it is relatively affordable.” “They want a good surrogate, sometimes affordability is the third or fourth priority, but the surrogate they want to trust,” said Dr Nayna Petal. “They want to see that the surrogate is well taken care of, is not on drugs or alcohol or smoking, which in India fortunately so far is a taboo – especially among females in a small town like Anand – and they don’t do it. So they’re very confident about that aspect also.” Nonetheless, there have been recent cases when a baby born to a surrogate has been denied a Western passport as some Western countries do not recognize surrogacy. And with India giving citizenship only to those children whose parents are Indian, some babies have been caught in between, without papers to travel home to their biological parents. Thankfully, Indian courts have helped them out, and the government now plans to put through a law to regulate the process. Court decision is not required for registration of a surrogate child born for a single woman.15.01.10 After a series of landmark decisions obliging Birth Registrar Offices to register children born to single women within the frames of a gestational surrogacy program ruled by Russian Courts (suitor’s interests were represented by the «Rosjurconsulting»’s lawyers), Russian Birth Registrar Offices started registering unmarried women’s children even before any judicial decrees might be taken. Thus, on the 13th of January 2010 Velikiy Novgorod Birth Registrar Office Department registered a surrogate child born to a single resident of Novgorod Region on the date of appeal. Her interests were represented by the «Rosjurconsulting»’s lawyers who informed the Birth Registrar Office’s officials of the law enforcement practice and respective judicial decisions. www.surrogacy.ru Information service |

Death is not the end. At least in Russia, where one can conceive a child and become parent even after death. On the 22nd of September 2010 a young citizen of Saint-Petersburg Artem Klimov became father. It would have been an ordinary story if not one fact: by the time of the child’s conception Artem had been in the other world for two months already.
