A Ukrainian surrogacy company plans a Warsaw “fair” offering paid baby handovers, and Polish prosecutors are now involved.

Story Snapshot

BioTexCom announced a September 12–13 Warsaw event promoting commercial surrogacy and in vitro services to Polish clients.
Polish advocates filed a complaint alleging illegal adoption and human trafficking preparations tied to the event.
Catholic leaders in Poland and Ukraine condemn surrogacy as violating human dignity and urge a full ban.
Reports describe package prices reaching about 65,000 euros, intensifying outrage over baby “commodification”.

What BioTexCom Plans To Do In Warsaw

Ukrainian fertility company BioTexCom scheduled a two-day conference in Warsaw for September 12–13, 2026. The company plans to promote its services to Polish customers, including in vitro procedures and commercial surrogacy. Outlets in Poland report the event as a marketing push aimed at local clients. Reporting also notes surrogacy is legal in Ukraine and available to foreigners, which is central to BioTexCom’s pitch to Poles seeking a path abroad.

Coverage in Polish Catholic and center-right outlets says the firm advertises tiered packages and end-to-end handling. Articles cite package rates climbing to roughly 65,000 euros, which fuels public criticism that this is the “sale” of a child. Petition organizers say the matter has already reached prosecutors, signaling that authorities are weighing whether the Warsaw event would promote acts unlawful under Polish law.

Why Polish Law And Values Collide With The Pitch

Legal analyses describe surrogacy in Poland as unregulated and contrary to core family-law rules, which makes surrogacy contracts effectively invalid. Polish doctrine stresses that you cannot transfer parental authority by contract and that such agreements conflict with principles of social coexistence. This legal vacuum creates risk for mothers and children and makes foreign “workarounds” especially contentious inside Poland’s legal order.

Because of this gap, critics argue that marketing a foreign surrogacy handover inside Poland risks crossing into illegal adoption or worse. The Ordo Iuris Institute says the Warsaw push resembles a paid handover that bypasses Poland’s adoption system. The group’s filing frames the full process—recruiting clients, selecting a birth mother, coordinating pregnancy, and delivering the baby with documents—as preparation for human trafficking and illegal adoption under Polish rules.

Church Leaders’ Condemnations And A Troubling Backstory

Polish bishops warn that surrogacy treats human life as a product and say children could face eugenic abortion if defects are found. They stress that moving the act across borders does not cleanse it ethically or legally and liken cross-border surrogacy to international trafficking. Their public statement adds moral weight to calls for the Warsaw event to be stopped before Poland becomes a market for paid baby handovers.

Ukrainian Catholic bishops previously urged a full ban on surrogacy in all forms, calling it a disgrace to human dignity. Their 2020 appeal asked authorities to protect newborns’ legal and moral status. Media reports also link BioTexCom to a past scandal where dozens of surrogate-born infants for foreign clients were stranded by travel disruptions, a case that cast a harsh light on the industry’s “logistics” of moving babies across borders.

What Prosecutors Are Weighing Now

Ordo Iuris says prosecutors received its notification that the Warsaw event promotes crimes, including illegal adoption and organized activity enabling child handovers for money. Their summary highlights how the commercial package model pushes beyond medical care and into arranging custody outside Poland’s legal adoption path. The complaint urges the Justice Ministry to stop the event and close the loopholes that let foreign firms market surrogacy inside Poland.

Another report flags that BioTexCom’s owner and head physician have faced charges in Ukraine in the past, including human trafficking and document forgery, adding to scrutiny of the Warsaw plans. While those are foreign proceedings and not Polish verdicts, they feed public concern that paid-baby schemes use legal gaps to thrive. For many readers, that is the core issue: no country should let a child become a line item in a package price.
