    By Miyo Padi , PA Real Life

    A father has spoken of his incredible journey through international surrogacy as a leading charity estimates that 800 surrogates in war torn Ukraine - dubbed the European capital of surrogacy - are pregnant with the children of foreign nationals.

    Dad Edvin Fogelmark, 32, changed careers to become international coordinator for Hatch egg donation and surrogacy after having his daughter Zoe with his husband Ola, 36, an engineering manager, in August 2020, as a result of international surrogacy in the USA.

    Now, as Growing Families, a leading charity in the field, says 95 per cent of the Ukraine's surrogacy comes from foreign intended parents, Edvin, of Gothenburg, Sweden, said: "My family fled the war in Bosnia in the 90s and to now see the news of the horrific war in Ukraine just breaks my heart.

    "For the surrogates and intended families that are now separated, this is a time of great uncertainty and fear."

    A performance auditor for multinational company Ernst and Young before Zoe was born, Edvin was inspired by his experience to change careers and, despite a difficult journey that saw him and Ola navigating the global pandemic, the couple are already considering having more children through surrogacy.

    Edvin said: "Going through the journey meant my dream of having a child was achieved and made possible.

    "For me, and for any parent, having your child being born is an amazing experience and the start of a new chapter in life.

    "With all our challenges, it was even more unimaginable that we reached that stage.

    "It feels amazing to have this role in someone's life, but it's also a bit scary to be the only two people who will influence who she will become.
