Baby girl born to the USA couple!

M.N. and C.B.A. (names changed at the request of the couple) from the United States became happy parents of a baby girl. The merry delivery happened thanks to their surrogate mother Yevheniya during the quarantine in Kyiv, and the couple had to apply for a special permission to enter Ukraine.

All went smoothly though and the couple safely returned back to the USA as soon as the embassy gave passport for the baby.

Here is what the couple wrote to their coordinator Elena as soon as they got back home: “Thank you so much Elena for supporting us through our journey for so long. We appreciate your positive support and diligence in execution and communication. The COVID virus twist to the plan was pretty hard but we are all okay and have our wonderful daughter now at home which is awesome. And no one got the virus either! Thank you for your kindness and support!”

The baby girl is really cute and we are so glad yet another story ended happily with our help. It is a blessing to witness each and every new arrival to the world, and know that we made our humble contribution as well J

❗️ Ukraine flights start opening June 15th❗️

We know many of you have been waiting for the news, so here we go!

Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has adopted a resolution on reopening border checkpoints at the country's international airports from June 15.

Entry is ALLOWED FOR FOREIGNERS who are not citizens of countries with a high COVID-19 spread and have not visited such countries for the past 14 days.

After further smoothening of the epidemic situation in Ukraine the government will consider relaunch of air connection with Cyprus, Montenegro and Greece (most likely starting July 1st).

We are happy to welcome our first guests later this week and we also look forward to see you in Kyiv!

 Stay safe and have a good day!

Cheers,

Olga

❗️Quick update on ending the quarantine in Ukraine❗️

Many of you have been waiting for several months now to start your programs, and although we successfully carried programs with frozen embryos transfers, but obviously for the new clients the most awaited is opening of Ukraine’s air borders.

The situation as of today is as follows: internal transportation including interregional trains and route cars is back on track in Ukraine, healthcare establishments (including IVF clinics, maternities etc.) are open as well as shopping spots. Accommodation can be safely booked in Kyiv.

The government plans to open internal and international flights starting 15th of June if all goes well till that moment and the COVID-19’s number of affected people keeps decreasing.

ONCE we know that flights are open, we’ll immediately inform you. Some of you have already pre-booked tickets starting 15th of June, and we hope that all will go smoothly.

Can’t wait to see you in Kyiv

Baby boy born for the French couple!

Now, that was a story for the parents to tell to him once he grows up...

he was born during the world pandemic with all airports shut down, and his parents were pulling all the possible strings to get to travel and finally hug him!

M.Y.N. and O.N.A. from France became parents through surrogacy around one month ago, but could not immediately attend to their son due to the travel restrictions imposed with relation to COVID-19. We urgently discussed with parents made sure the baby was attended 24/7 by a professional nurse who was hired specifically for him. Successful Parents Agency provided all logistics and support possible while waiting for the parents to arrive to Ukraine, as well as contributed where possible to providing additional documentation for parents in order to facilitate their travel.

Just last week M.Y.N. and O.N.A. safely arrived to Ukraine and after everyone proved to be healhy the little warrior was finally embraced by the happy couple.

God bless them, we are so happy that once more story had a happy ending with our humble help :)

Love,

Elena and all Successful Parents Team

Baby princess born to the Cypriot couple

I'm so happy to share this incredible story of X.Y. and X.Z. from Cyprus (couple's initials are changed at their request). And I won't talk much about the difficult story they left behind them and all the struggles before coming to the decision of surrogacy.

Because why lean on the past when there is such a living sunny happiness just in front of you? 

The couple managed to arrive to Ukraine just ONE days before the quarantine restrictions were imposed. They arrived on Saturday while already on Sunday flights were down, airports were closed. At that, they initially had their ticket booked for Sunday, but they listened to their sixth sense and changed tickets in the very last minute!

They self-quaranteened for two weeks and a half, and were fully equiped and ready for the happy arrival :) Several days in a row after their daughter was discharged from the maternity hospital, they could barely believe their dream has come true. Now another "parents survival" quest is underway for may years to come for them, but how merry that quest is, isn't it? ;)

The couple wrote a wonderful testimonial on our blog in Greek and in English, you are welcome to check it out.

And all our team blesses the newly-made parents and their pretty young lady, may all go well for you!

Cheers,

Yuliya, Olga and all Successful Parents Team

Baby girl born for the Portuguese couple!

M.J.P. and C.A.F.F. from Portugal became parents of a lovely baby girl around a month ago. For many programs underway it sadly skipped my mind to post them a congratulatory message on our blog, so fixing it now ;)

Their surrogate mother gave birth to the baby with the help of a Cesarean section, all went well. Speaking of the method of birth, Ukrainian Drs usually prefer natural delivery and prescribe Cesarean only in case of valid medical reasons such as unusual baby position in the uterus or early delivery or twins or any signs or suspicions of abnormal upcoming delivery course.

The newly made parents received documents from the consulate of Portugal in Ukraine and safely left home. God bless them and may happiness always shine in the windows of their house.

Best,

Yuliya, Olga and all Successful Parents Team

Twins born to the couple from Hungary :)

Twins may only account for around 3% of natural births, but when it goes about IVF the rate rises dramatically. Chinese culture percepts twins as embodiment of harmony and joy, and a family that is blessed with twins has been forever eyed as exceptionally happy household.

We share this idea and have always enjoyed informing our couples of the upcoming double miracle. A.H. and Z.B. from Hunagry were also blessed and became parents of twins around three weeks ago and have safely left home with their babies. 

our most heartfelt wishes to the couple, we wish them many exciting moments with their precious ones.

Best,

Daryna, Olga and all Successful Parents Team
