About Olga
I’m Olga Danchenko, an independent attorney at law in Ukraine. I advise and represent intended parents from abroad through surrogacy and assisted reproduction. I am not an agency or a clinic.
Biography
I have practised as an attorney at law in Ukraine since 2010, in family and fertility law. My work focuses on legal support for intended parents from abroad in international surrogacy arrangements.
I prepare the contracts that must be in place before medical treatment begins, so that the rights and obligations of everyone involved are clear. After the birth, I take parents through the steps needed to register the child, obtain the child’s documents and travel home, and I prepare the Ukrainian documents needed to secure full parental rights in their home country.
I work with a team of lawyers and translators and deal directly with Ukrainian authorities, including the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Migration Service, civil registry offices, notaries and courts. I also work with lawyers in other countries who specialise in reproductive law.
