Resumen

This article is a case study of the case K.K. and Others v. Denmark, decided by the European Court of Human Rights in 2022. The case concerned a surrogacy arrangement concluded in Ukraine and its consequences to the applicant children and their intended mother who was not able to adopt the children in Denmark. The issue at stake falls within the scope of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights which guarantees the right to respect for private and family life. The Court has relatively vast case-law on surrogacy issues both under the private life aspect and under the family life aspect and the judgment in K.K. and Others v. Denmark adds to this case-law.
