Up to 10 Irish couples were flown out to the Ukraine on a mercy mission across international borders orchestrated by legal experts and the Department of Foreign Affairs to be with their babies born through surrogacy after borders closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The lawyer who assisted the Irish couples in getting to the Ukraine said huge praise should be given to the Irish State for helping the couples reach their much-longed for children.
