Dozens of babies born to surrogate mothers are stranded in Ukraine as the coronavirus restrictions prevent foreign parents from collecting them.

"We're doing our best for all the parents of children who are born or are waiting for delivery soon," BioTexCom lawyer Denis Herman says in the video. Ukraine's surrogate system came to a sudden stop when its government imposed a ban on foreigners entering in March as part of its attempts to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Many parents couldn't leave their home countries, while others haveentering Ukraine from neighboring Belarus, which has only limited travel restrictions despite the global pandemic.

THERE ARE SO MANY KIDS IN THE FOSTERCARE SYSTEM WHAT IS THIS

This is called PEREMOGA

Omg, a baby farm.

OMG, precious.

This is happening is the US as well

Poor babies

Ukraine adopts capitalism. Supply and demand. Not cool

Oh, that's sad...

Mail-order babies, so sad. When there's so many neglected and unwanted babies on the planet. Do you really need to make your own?

That's so sad!

'Collected'?! Way to go not dehumanizing these newborn children. Sarcasm

They will all have detachment disorder. Very sad.

Wow a white baby farm with chandeliers

What's the implication here? There's an industry for surrogate motherhood in Ukraine as childbearing-age mothers aren't having children of their own but are artificially inseminated to give birth for monetary compensation by foreign couples who don't want to undergo child birth?

This is not okay. Babies living without a parent suffer and that suffering doesn’t go away, even if they can’t“remember it”. The loss and grief will live and be remembered in their bodies. This is trauma.

Sounds like babies being harvested or so 😲

That's disgusting! These are human beings, not fodder for trifling public policy! 😡

This is disgusting on so many levels.

Omg

Horribly sad.

Not enough domestic babies/surrogates?

At least theyre European babies

Okay, this one is a heart breaker. The thought of all those parentless babies...very sad.
