A coordinated gestational surrogacy pathway for married heterosexual couples who need another woman to carry their child.
Nova Espero brings the medical, candidate, coordination and legal parts of the process together. Each program is planned around the family’s diagnosis, embryos or egg-donation requirements, nationality and documentation needs.
Gestational surrogacy means that a surrogate mother carries an embryo created for the intended parents and has no genetic relationship to the child. Traditional surrogacy, in which the carrier provides her own egg, is not the program offered by Nova Espero and is not permitted in Ukraine.
Who may need a surrogacy program?
A doctor may recommend gestational surrogacy when pregnancy is impossible or would create a serious medical risk. Common situations include absence or significant disease of the uterus, a medical condition incompatible with pregnancy, or repeated unsuccessful treatment where a specialist considers a gestational carrier appropriate.
Families may enter the program with embryos already created, use the intended mother’s eggs, or require an egg donor. The correct route is chosen only after the available medical records and reproductive history have been reviewed.
How the process is organised
1. Case and document review
We review the diagnosis, previous IVF history, available embryos, citizenship and expected legal route. Missing tests and documents are identified before treatment begins.
2. Medical pathway
Nova Espero helps select the doctor, clinic and embryology team appropriate to the specific case. Existing embryos can be reviewed for transfer or transported to Ukraine when this is medically and legally possible.
3. Surrogate matching
The family receives access to suitable candidates from our own database. Candidates undergo medical and psychological screening before final approval and sign the required agreements.
4. Preparation and embryo transfer
The doctor prepares the surrogate mother for transfer and coordinates the treatment cycle. If pregnancy is confirmed, the program moves to pregnancy supervision.
5. Pregnancy coordination
A dedicated coordinator follows appointments, tests, medication and reporting. A psychologist supports the surrogate mother during selection and throughout the pregnancy.
6. Birth and legal documents
Our team includes an in-house licensed Ukrainian lawyer (attorney-at-law). We coordinate the Ukrainian documents required after birth and work with the family on the document plan needed by its country.
Direct and transparent communication
Nova Espero does not prohibit communication between intended parents and their surrogate mother; we encourage a respectful relationship with clear boundaries and coordinator support. If the family prefers, agreed monthly payments may be transferred directly to the surrogate mother’s bank account. Program payments are normally divided into manageable stages and made as the work progresses rather than collected as one full advance payment.
Why the team around the case matters
A successful program is not determined by a clinic name alone. It depends on the combination of the treating doctor, embryology team, medical-document staff, surrogate coordinator, pregnancy coordinator and legal support. Our role is to assemble and manage that combination for the circumstances of each family.
