Before beginning a process of international surrogacy in a third country, it is essential to know, in detail, the legal guarantees that each country offers to be able to choose that which offers the best safety, security and confidence according to your case and family model. Furthermore, it is also necessary to be correctly informed about how the parentage and nationality of the baby will be recognized – a task which we perform for the families.

We therefore offer you the opportunity for a free initial consultation with a specialist, with no obligation. All inquiries are confidential.

REQUIREMENTS

Unlike in other countries, the law in Mexico allows all family models to carry out a surrogacy process.

PARENTAGE

Parentage is certified by a legal document confirming the baby’s paternity on the part of the intended parents and removes any right of the gestational surrogate and her husband, where applicable, regarding the baby.

LEGISLATION

For legal purposes, what is important is where the contract is signed, where the gestational surrogate resides and where the birth takes place. Therefore, people who reside in a country in which the contract is not valid may benefit from the policies of countries where it is not, as is the case with Mexico.
