We will accompany you through  

the whole journey of parenthood.

The benefits of going through Lotus as opposed to another agency are as follows:

  • A long history of dealing with IP’s from Australia. Lotus have by far facilitated more surrogate births since 2009 than any other agency/clinic in Ukraine. Our first Australian baby was born at 2016!
  • Lotus have a comprehensive client management program where you are allocated a surrogacy coordinator who will step you through the process of surrogacy, what happens when and sends through detailed reports on your surrogate and your baby. Most other clinics/agencies don’t offer this or the service is lacking.
  • Lotus offer full transparency and will send you direct answers to your questions.
  • Lotus offer a westernized service to clients with good English speaking contacts.
  • Lotus offer a personalized surrogate support program for all of their surrogates to connect with one another to provide support, as well as access support services from Lotus. No other agencies or clinics offer this level of support to their women.
  • Lotus offer a private-secret Facebook group for only Lotus intended parents to connect with other Lotus intended parents who are undertaking surrogacy in Ukraine with Lotus. There, you can offer and receive support and give and receive hints and tips about travel to Ukraine. Lotus have even been made aware of couples who have met up and organized to do things together while in Ukraine post birth of their babies!
  • Lotus offer a comprehensive information package about exiting Ukraine with your baby. It details step by step the information you need to complete on websites and how to organize DNA testing etc.

Specifically pertaining to other Clinics/agencies:

  • Their surrogate screening is not as comprehensive and the number of surrogates they reject is far lower than Lotus who have a more thorough recruitment process.
  • There are a lot of hidden costs with other agencies/clinics program. Lotus clearly identify what additional costs may arise, together with an estimation of those costs.
  • The waiting list for surrogates is much longer with other agencies. Lotus can supply a fully screened surrogate within 3-4 weeks.
