Baby boy born to the couple from Cyprus!

This cute caballero is born as a result of a surrogacy program carried with the help of our Agency. His happy parents are a Cypriot couple, and they are head over heels in love with him. How could they be not?!

He was born several weeks ago when the heat in Kyiv was unbearable for us, but just right for the Cypriot people :). The surrogate mother had a natural birth, no complications, and the boy was lucky as his biological mother was determined, did her homework and succeeded in breastfeeding him. This is the third case in our Agency when a biological mother breastfeeds the baby who she did not carry, and it is exciting and admirable experience we must say.

Would you like to learn more about how to prepare for breastfeeding when you are expecting your surrogate mother to give birth to your child? We have some stories to tell ;)

Congratulations to S.P and M.A. from Cyprus, may Good bless your family and all be good!

Cheers,

Yuliya, Olga and all Successful Parents Team

Ambassador of Successful Parents Agency in Germany

If you are a German-speaking couple and considering surrogacy in Ukraine, we have good news for you today. Please meet Alina, our new ambassador in Germany. 

Alina and her husband first addressed our Agency couple of years ago. They had really tough time in life that eventually led them to surrogacy, and we all know it is now an easy decision at all. Nonetheless, I’m happy that their experience started and stayed with us as now they have three beautiful kids: twin boys from their first surrogacy program and a princess baby girl from the second, both programs led from start to successful end by our Agency.

Alina is a wonderful and very positive person, creative and open-minded, truly diligent when it goes about schedule and keeping it to the agreed path. They both are, truly speaking as of course the tremendous support from her husband at all times is impressive.

And I’m happy that Alina agreed to talk and help all the German-based couples who only start their surrogacy journey. So now our clients can count on her sharing her experience and giving practical advice at all times.

Sincerely,

Olga

Baby girl born to the couple from Cyprus

A.G. and A.A. welcomed their baby daughter earlier last month, as a result of their surrogacy program in Ukraine with Successful Parents Agency. The birth had to go through the Cesarean section, but all went well, and the happy family is now back home :)

Summer is a hot time for us usually! Almost every couple who start the process of surrogacy with us, wants the baby to be born around warm periods. As a result we have twice as many births starting Spring and on to Fall.

Being scared by very low degrees in winter, though, is not really correct as last winter we almost did not have snow and the temperature did not fall below zero at all, which is, well, almost hot for us :)))

Congratulations from Yuliya, Olga

Baby girl born to a couple from Portugal!

Oh yes, so beautiful she is! This little miracle was born as a result of a surrogacy program in Ukraine, to a H.A.G.S. and P.F.R.C. of a Portuguese origin. The baby birth was natural and the whole family is now enjoying the absolute happiness together.

It is always a long way that brings couples to the thought of surrogacy, as no one comes to this decision out of fun. But what matters is the strong belief and hope for success that the couple showed us from the very first moments and that lasted through the whole program.

We are very happy to congratulate them and with their family lots of sweet moments together. Who knows maybe they are already thinking of a sibling for their little princess ;)

P.S. And a little message for those couples who are still hesitating if they are ready to start or not: the first step is to get the whole picture and ask questions, talk to us and send your inquiries. We are always ready to help.

Cheers,

Olga, Yuliya and the whole Successful Parents Team

Baby girl born for German couple due to their 2nd surrogacy program in Ukraine

Please welcome this little young lady, looking so pretty! She does not know that yet, but her parents and her two older brothers were waiting so much to hug and cuddle with her. :)

Her two siblings were born to A.P. and B.P. several years earlier, as a result of their 1st surrogacy program in Ukraine. And when time passed, the couple understood they would love to try again for the baby girl ;) And here they are, rocking it!

This time their surrogate mother also had a Cesarean section, but our Drs rule forever and everything went well ;)

The most exciting thing in this story is that A.P. did a major homework both times and breastfed all of her babies. In the following posts I’ll be sharing her story as well as the story of one more Cypriot couple of ours who also breastfed their kids after they were born from a surrogate mother. This is amazing dedication and it is so motivating and touching that I think it is definitely worth illuminating. What do you think?

And so far, congratulations to A.P. and B.P. on the birth of their precious little princess, may god bless your family as you are all sooooo cute :)))

Cheers,

Olga, Yuliya and Successful Parents Team

Trust issues or How do we fight anxiety?

This is more of a flow of thoughts rather than an informative post, to be honest. For my more than a decade of experience in helping couples become parents there was one thing that I’ve always felt vulnerable to. And that thing is the extreme anxiety of couples who address surrogacy.

The problem is not anxiety itself. It is totally understandable taking into account through how much some couples go before they see no other choice as surrogacy. But the impact it has on the whole process is actually huge.

Anxiety makes all the answers to be questioned and sees each temporary obstacle as a bad sign, it starts controlling the couple’s behaviour and all facts are being interpreted as in this or that way leading to fatality. How do we help our couples cope with that? Can we actually do it?

Do we even care, some may ask….

We do. Hence the more frequent ultrasounds, more tests for surrogate mothers, more calls and conversations, longer mails with detailed explanations, more internal consultations and double checking everything. Showing them the stability and certainty they don’t have, letting them see that we care, that they are not alone in this journey and that we all strive for happy ending.

It does not work for everyone, and sometimes this anxiety of a couple can only be relieved when they finally hold a baby in their arms. But in this post I want to thank to all the couples who have already gone through the surrogacy program with Successful Parents Agency and landed back home with a precious gift of life. You did it and it was your trust and persistence and irreversible hope that helped us all along the way.

Don’t be shy and pass it on.

Princess baby girl born to the German-Romanian couple!

Oh, she is cute, isn’t she? Like “Hey guys, no pandemy could ever be an obstacle for me seeing my Mom and Dad!” And it’s true, how can one say “no” to the beautiful desire to become parents? ;)

This time the lucky couple is from Germany, and they have already left home with their little daughter. The German embassy is very detailed and scrupulous in documents before giving the green light, but at the same time if a couple abides by the rules, everything goes very well.

We wish the newly-made parents good luck and many happy years together, and we invite you to spread the word about the fact that surrogacy is safe, legal and ethical, if you do it with the right partner and if you do it with an open heart.

Best,

Yuliya, Olga and all Successful Parents Team

Pregnancy ongoing for the couple from Germany!

Germany is a progressive country and it is hard to argument with this. About 10 years ago it was very difficult (near to impossible) to register a baby born within the frames of a surrogacy program, in the embassy of Germany in Ukraine. Back then surrogacy was considered something weird in Europe and even most progressive countries looked down at it. 

Times change, however, and nowadays noone is surprized by a surrogacy arrangement anymore. More and more couples from Germany address surrogacy nowadays as soon as it is legal and nicely organized. No one will argument that either ;)

We are happy to congratulate yet another German couple today, they are now expectant parents as their surrogate mother safely moved onto her second trimester. Spring is a wonderful time to come to Kyiv, they surely can’t wait ;)

Best expectancy days fromOlga and all Successful Parents Team

Pregnancy confirmed for two couples from Cyprus!

It is so fun and weird sometimes when you see how totally different couples, without of any knowledge of each other, choose surrogate mothers with similar characteristics, have very similar fertility history, have the embryos transfers at the same day and finally have both pregnancies confirmed at the same time, both with one fetus stably developing!

How come mother nature’s ways are so unique and intriguing? Have you ever encountered stranger people who seem to be so much in line with your own life path?

That happened to me several times in my own life and the feeling you have when you learn there are so much in common between you is amazingly astonishing.

In our work we see these similarities often, and some might say it is just a coincidence, but some will see invisible treads that might somehow unite people from different parts of the world with this subtle feeling of happiness.

Congratulations to both our couples and we with them smooth pregnancies ;)

Good start of the week to all of us

To transfer two or not to transfer two?

It is a common situation that evolves regularly in the work of our Agency, but for the past several weeks it was raised three times in a row by three different couples of ours (from USA, Portugal and Poland). So I decided it is worth a post :)

All three couples started their second surrogacy programs with us about one year after having their first kids with the help of our surrogate mothers.

All three couples had one child as a result of their first programs.

And when it came closer to the embryos transfer in frames of their second programs, they tried to ask me to make a forecast: what happens if they transfer one or two embryos, how big is the probability of twins in case we transfer two and what are the chances of pregnancy if they decide to transfer only one embryo.

The most interesting thing is that after talking to all three couples I could sense the deep desire to have twins, but it was really suppressed by various factors: financial difficulties on raising three kids, concerns on the medical side of the twin pregnancy etc.

Each conversation lasted at least 40 minutes and as much as I gave my all to answer all questions and clarify all the doubts, I still cannot give any forecast, because it is always a God’s will after the embryos transfer, and no one can predict how the pregnancy will go.

Such conversations remind me of how important the job we are doing is and how careful and supportive we must always be to those who are seeking for our help.

In the end all three couples had to make their own decisions, based on their beliefs and hopes, anxiety and doubts. You can try and guess their choices. But no matter how each pregnancy will be developing, let’s wish them luck again and keep our fingers crossed for them.
