“…Suppose intending parents relinquish their parental rights of the child and the surrogate mother refuses to exercise her rights as the firstorder guardian, the surrogate child will be placed in an orphanage. In this case, a surrogate without a genetic link with the surrogate child, we can suspect that her decision may be arbitrary [18]. Therefore, the legal parentage is unreasonable and may violate the fundamental rights of surrogate children.…”

In the era of advanced medical technology and frequent international exchanges, reproductive tourism is on the rise, the problems it poses have attracted the attention of countries. Taking China, Vietnam, and Russia as research samples, the article points out the differences laws on surrogacy create opportunities for intending parents to circumvent domestic law. The recognition of parental rights of prospective parents, according to the best interests of children, makes it even less worrying. From the perspective of fundamental rights, the article argues that surrogacy is the only means of realizing reproduction for people suffering from uterine diseases. 'External tolerance' will intensify the conflicts between the rich and the poor and lead to high costs of unidentified evidence collection. That is why prior supervision is necessary. The author proposes that legislation should explicitly allow limited surrogacy and regulate the conditions and parenthood so that it can apply under control. At the international level, China, Vietnam, and Russia face the common problem of surrogate children's rights. Based on the accumulation of multilateral or bilateral treaties, they should actively participate in and promote the process of global conventions based on common concerns while paying attention to the progress of HCCH

“…The emergence of Mexico and Thailand as major reprohubs for the trade in surrogacy also attracted considerable anthropological attention (Hovav, 2019; Schurr, 2018; Whittaker 2019). Furthermore, a handful of empirical studies have focused on less-known surrogacy locations, such as Russia (Dushina et al, 2016; Siegl, 2018a, 2018c; Smietana et al, 2021; Weis, 2019, 2021) Georgia (Vertommen et al, 2022; Vertommen and Reyns, 2019), Ukraine (Siegl, 2018b), and Canada (Fisher and Hoskins, 2013). Other studies have documented Australian intended parents’ experiences of surrogacy in India (Stockey-Bridge, 2018) and the complex social and legal barriers and complications involved in such movements (Hammarberg et al, 2015; Riggs and Due, 2017; Dempsey, 2013; Millbank, 2014).…”

In this article, we offer an analysis of the development of “repronubs”: less-known locations offering small-scale, niche cross-border gestational surrogacy or surrogacy services for a regional market. This analytical category of “repronubs” is useful to describe the formation of the industry from small local sites to those offering cross-border services. Based on our work in these locations, we compare the markets, regulatory contexts, and organization of the industry in Ghana, Kazakhstan, and Laos, focusing on the “repropreneurs” or surrogacy facilitation agents as pivotal in the emergence of these sites. These “repronubs” highlight the surrogacy trade between countries of the Global South and are established next to or instead of the more well-known North–South destinations. We document how surrogacy itself is increasingly stratified between higher cost and better-regulated environments such as in certain states of the United States or Canada and lower cost, less well regulated, and regionally focused environments in the settings we describe. These locations are characterized by poor or liberal regulations, the existence of local in vitro fertilization (IVF) expertise, and the emergence of local repropreneurs driving the trade using their social networks. The growth of demand from China and the growing affluent middle class in Africa is creating further markets for such regional “nubs.” Studying surrogacy in such locations is made difficult by the secrecy and confidentiality surrounding it.
