Era - From what I have read, some changes are proposed by Parliament in Ukraine, and nothing more. This clinic (I know what Ukrainian clinic you mean) is under legal investigation, and that is the reason why they do not offer surrogacy any more. Other Ukrainian clinics work as usual, and if you want to undergo treatment in Ukraine, you can contact any other reliable clinic such as Intersono in Lviv.  Hope this helps.

HI all, is anyone from the UK with New Life Ukraine? It would be lovely to hear about your experience. I have one very important question regarding legalities in the contract. Many thanks!

Hi, we are German couple with a lot of own failed IVF attempts during the last 5 years. Now we are looking for a guaranteed surrogacy/egg donation package in the Ukraine,
but we are also in contact with Newlife in Georgia. To be honest, we are not sure what is really recommendable at the moment. Of course we are nervous about the legal discussions in the Ukraine,
but on the other hand there are well established processes for getting the needed papers like the baby passport etc.
But how does this work in Georgia? The information we received from Newlife was quite general. Unfortunately they are not able to provide any references of German clients in terms of surrogacy+egg donation in Georgia yet. But maybe there is someone in this forum who could share her/his experiences?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi all,
We are very fortunate to have a beautiful daughter born to a surrogate via New Life, Georgia. We have 6 frozen embryos in Georgia and are starting to think about a possible sibling journey. I just wondered if anyone has had any experience of transferring frozen embryos with New Life? Trying to get an idea of possible success rates of New Life with a frozen cycle.
Many thanks,
TTC

Olddaddy - I can't help with personal experiences, but from what I have read (there are a few good articles on eggdonationfriends)  Intersono Lviv is a very reliable partner and can be proud of their smooth organization of the whole process. Good luck with your journey

Hi Miamiamo

Is Biotexcom under legal investigation for some reason? I'd be grateful if you would let me know any details you may know about this.

Thanks!

Has this thread gone super quiet or has it gone elsewhere

Hello,

We are currently undergoing surrogacy in Georgia and our baby is due in the next few months and I wanted to ask if there is anyone else currently having a baby via surrogacy in Georgia or who has already had a baby who would be willing to share some of their experiences.

Thank you

 

[Joy2019]

congratulation to Snowy44, we are considering to have surrogacy in Georgia, and looking for the surrogacy agency, do you have any idea which one is more reliable? any help is appreciated.

 

[Snowy44]

Hello,

Thank you. We have had our treatment with New Life and it’s been a very positive experience.

Snowy44 - no personal experiences, just want to say that it is amazing info

 

[BigMama67]

Hi Snowy 

Congratulations!! 

We are probably headed to NL Georgia in May, so soon now!  I would love to hear anything you wish to share about your journey, experience etc 

 

[Joy2019]

Thanks Snow44, we are contacting New life, the baby guarantee package is around US$70k, it does not include the premature birth insurance or insurance for the surrogate. did you buy any insurance? or do you know if it is necessary to buy insurance? many thanks.

Hi Snowy44,

Congratulations and delighted that everything has gone well.

We are about to start with New Life in Georgia in the next month.

Can you recommend any solicitors in the UK that you used to process the legal aspects of bring the child home? How soon should we have one already in place? Would you recommend before we start?

 

[Tracey42]

Hi,

We've been scouting surrogacy clinics in Georgia and are 99.9% likely to go with New Life. It's great to see quite a few people on here have made the same choice. New Life representatives are visiting the UK in March/April so we've set up a meeting.

The only concern we have is the return to the UK once the baby is born, I think this is common.

Really hope this thread stays busy, love reading the posts which are all positive. Please post loads so we know how peoples journeys are going and anything we should be aware of.

Good luck everyone

Hi to everyone girls! I don’t mean to be an expert in Geography. Sometimes I may be mistaken while trying to to distinguish the difference between Australia or Austria. But Georgia isn’t that far from Ukraine, am I right?
Why did I start like that? My dear husband and I are the clients of the Ukrainian clinic providing surrogacy and the other assisted technologies. Honestly, we are fully happy of our choice. We had to overcome pretty a long path before we found our reproductive center.
I guess you know Ukraine is a progressive, generally convenient option for those who decided to have kids via surrogacy. Its legislation makes things easier if you are from Germany or UK. It actually has its disadvantages. Maybe not correct, I mean they have their weak sides that can be fixed someday.
I’d like to admit we didn’t consider Georgia. My hubby and I were sure we had to focus on Ukraine. It was definitely our goal to succeed there. Our SM is pregnant now and things go well after all.
If someone has time for sharing some thoughts, I’d like to wonder. What is the secret? Why do people choose Georgia? What do you think about comparison of these two surrogacy locations?
As I said I’m completely happy and I want to continue our journey there. But it’d be interesting to find out your opinion. Thank you ladies.

aleksandrauib - good luck with New Life, I came across few positive reviews about them

We are also 20 weeks into a host surrogacy in Georgia, using New Life. Things are going well so far. They tell us they will be giving us support from week 30 on the process to get our baby back to the UK. My situation is a little different though, my wife is originally from Georgia so our baby can get a Georgian passport. I am wondering which is the quickest route: UK passport or Georgian passport and visa. Anyone in the same position?

 

[Canuck123]

My wife and I chose New life Georgia after a lot of research on it, TBH, my wife did most of the research and she called up several clinic as we wanted a host surrogate.

We kind of made up our mind for NL, Georgia but just to make sure who we are dealing with, we went to Tbilisi and met them in person before deciding. We are a Canadian couple but we are temporarily in Dubai hence Ukraine and Georgia were both good options for us.

Why we chose Georgia. There are many factors, for us, it is close to Dubai. People are amazing in Georgia. My wife had to travel to Georgia for longer period for the IVF cycle and I was supposed to join her later. She met with a Taxify driver (local company similar to Uber)and now, we are friend with him and his family. People are just so nice. Most importantly, New Life is good to, they know what they are doing and have total control on the process. I wish though, there was some personal touch.

Not that it matters but the food, wine and weather also amazing in Georgia. It helps when getting a passport for the baby can take two months.

Our first IVF cycle did not go as planned and we were not succussful. Luckily, we got lucky in the second try and now we just completed 33 weeks. There have been some ups and downs but we are very close to the delivery now.

NLG handles the entire process very well. We wet with the owner in Dubai, then we were dealing with Sofia initially, then another coordinator and now, we are dealing with Ia who is superb.

Please note that there are significant other charges than what we pay to NLG. One should be prepared for such costs.

We are now looking into finding a place to live in Georgia as delivery date is April 21. We are looking at AirBnB but we are open to suggestions.

Our biggest worry is the time it takes to get Canadian Passport for the baby for travel. Any other Canadian went through Georgia and can share their experience? It would help a lot. Perhaps, other countries follows similar procedures.

We need to send NDA samples to Canada for testing and then attach those results with the citizenship application and then apply for the passport. I am told, it will take two months if we rae lucky.

We cannot wait for our baby girl.
