Karina

Karina is a Ukrainian woman working as a surrogate mother. She was expecting twins and had a contract stipulating a payment of £15,500 ($21,000). However, after one of the twins tragically died, her payment was reduced as per her agreement. Despite this setback and initial reservations, Karina intends to continue surrogacy, aiming to have as many children as her body allows to save money for a home. Her future in this pursuit may soon be impacted by external decisions, as indicated by criticisms of advertising campaigns and activism surrounding the industry. Karina's situation highlights the complex and often precarious nature of surrogacy, particularly in Ukraine, which has been described as a global hub for the practice.
