UKRAINE BUSTS ‘HUMAN TRAFFICKING RING’ THAT SOLD BABIES TO CHINESE ‘SINGLE MEN
OF CERTAIN ORIENTATION’

Ukrainian police have raided a private reproductive clinic that has been
allegedly “selling babies” to China. While the suspects are accused of “human
trafficking,” surrogate motherhood is a legal gray area in Ukraine.

The scandalous case was brought to light by the country’s interior ministry late
on Saturday. The police broke up a “human-trafficking” ring that was centered at
a private reproductive clinic in Kiev.

Further details on the case were shared by the Deputy Interior Minister Anton
Gerashenko on his Facebook page. The ring involved the head of the clinic, her
son, as well as two other Ukrainian and three Chinese nationals. They were
charged with human trafficking that may lead to 12 years in prison with property
confiscation.

The majority of the clinic’s clients were single Chinese males of “certain
orientation,” as Gerashenko put it. While the exact number of trafficked babies
remains unknown, at least 140 more Chinese nationals are under investigation,
the official added.

The price tag for a single baby was about $50,000. The hefty sum covered
artificial insemination of a surrogate mom, legal support and organization of
fictive marriages needed to facilitate smuggling children abroad. It’s unclear
if the babies’ fathers were the ones who then adopted them.

Five newborn babies, believed to be about to be trafficked, were found by the
investigators in private apartments across the Ukrainian capital and placed in
maternity hospitals.

While the suspects stand accused of “human trafficking,” there’s a catch –
surrogate motherhood is not regulated by any laws in Ukraine and lies in a legal
gray zone. As it’s not explicitly prohibited by law, nothing more than a simple
contract between a surrogate mom and would-be foster parents is required.
