trying to work that out but it seems that even the government doesn't really know so we heard from the ukrainian government's human rights woman who to help families like this 20 ukraine with special permission she says about 100 families have been in touch with her over recent weeks asking for help getting into the country while those travel restrictions than place but experts say that is just the tip of the iceberg they. they estimate that most agencies here in ukraine have been advising their families to stay it's not to reach out to the government they're worried about too much government intervention there have been calls from certain lawmakers here to ban international surrogacy so there was a real worry about coming out as it were and making clear quite how big a phenomenon the seas i think the pictures that went around the world of those babies in a hotel room they really are representative that was essentially a p.r. stunt by a very savvy director who wants to get international attention to resolve this problem most babies including babies babies spent 1st month last month or 2 in

6:25 pm
documents that make it easier then to legalize the situations that the baby's birth part of this is just ukrainian businesses these clinics being wary of government intervention some kind of political intervention lots of other countries have banned this practice for foreigners so india thailand countries that were big in this business up to a few years ago and have since banned for international families the legal framework here means that it is legal in ukraine it is legal for these contracts to be drawn up between surrogate mothers and these families and for them to receive payment and it is also a whole lot cheaper than in the u.s. or canada other places where. so that is some of the reasons why ukraine has become such center for the. for us thank you nick. 2 footballs german cup semifinals and buy a new nick have secured a chance for a 2nd strace double this season that's the possibility of winning both the cup and
