Argentine couples went to look for their babies in Ukraine and cannot return to the country

“They are telling us to withdraw from Ukrainian territory. It was all very sudden and you have to organize. The issue is that we don’t know how to withdraw; We are with the babies and some still do not have the papers to return, but we want to leave,” said a recent mother, who indicated that they maintain permanent contact with the Argentine Embassy and that even some families remained today at the residence of Ambassador Elena Mikusinski. , which has a bunker.

Ukraine, meanwhile, is one of the few countries in the world that allows couples to access surrogacy and thus fulfill the dream of being parents. Dozens of Argentines and citizens from other parts of the world travel there every year to achieve this.

Regarding this treatment, once a baby -of this type- is born in Ukrainian territory and is delivered to the families, the parents must initiate a series of procedures in the local Civil Registry and in the Argentine embassy in Kiev, which must issue an emergency passport so that the child can leave without inconvenience.

In parallel, other documentation must be processed in the Civil Registry in Buenos Aires and in the Foreign Ministry, although due to the conflict with Russia some requirements are being eliminated to facilitate the return in a faster and more efficient way.

Due to the closure of airspace, the recommendation is to escape by land to Poland or Romania, although for families with newborn babies it is a complex situation, at least for the moment, since everyone had planned to return from Kiev and by plane.

Another case is about those who seek to receive news that women who are pregnant and are currently in areas that were bombed, some about 700 kilometers from the capital of Ukraine.

It is that the system provides for pregnant women to undergo regular check-ups but, if they live in provinces far from the capital, they are transferred there only in the last stage of the pregnancy.

Meanwhile, the information on the protocol that must be followed in the midst of the conflict is maintained: find out where the nearby shelters are, the emergency exits of the buildings, make a reserve of drinking water and non-perishable food, have a first aid kit , flashlights or candles in case of power outages and always have the most important documentation at hand.
