By Peter CoulterA couple from Northern Ireland who have had a baby through surrogacy in Ukraine have appealed for urgent help to bring him home from the warzone.
"We still have more love to give, we wanted Max to grow up in a family that could still smile and be happy and give him a chance to have a good life. We couldn't fall apart when Ellie died," said Mary.The couple decided to go down the surrogacy route and travelled to Ukraine in August 2021 for medical appointments and to get the embryos created.
"It's a very scary place, the people are very good to us and in the bomb shelter they gave us a couch to sit on with the baby. "There are a lot of legalities and paperwork. The next stage is an identity interview with Peter to look at his photographs, make sure he is who he says he is and that it's not child trafficking or anything like that," said Ms McDonnell.
