Is surrogacy legal in Mexico?

Yes, surrogacy is legal in Mexico. In June 2021, the Supreme Court of Justice in Mexico clarified that surrogacy is a legal option for all individuals wishing to build a family, including same-sex couples, heterosexual couples, and single individuals.

What are the cost advantages of surrogacy in Mexico?

Patients choosing surrogacy in Mexico can save between 36% and 89% compared to costs in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, or China. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, allowing you to plan your process at your own pace.

How are surrogates selected?

Surrogates undergo a rigorous screening process to ensure they are physically, emotionally, and psychologically prepared for the journey. Matches are made based on preferences, values, and compatibility, fostering positive relationships throughout the process.

How does Surrogate Mexico ensure the well-being of surrogates and babies?

Our Surrogate Care Program provides comprehensive support, including major medical insurance, life insurance, and ongoing access to maternal-fetal medicine experts. We also offer emotional and psychological support to ensure the well-being of surrogates throughout the pregnancy.

How are funds managed during the process?

At Surrogate Mexico, we use an escrow account managed by an external banking institution to handle all financial transactions. This ensures all necessary resources for the surrogate and the baby are available and managed on time, giving intended parents confidence and peace of mind regarding fund availability.

What legal protections are in place for intended parents?

Our legal team handles all aspects of the surrogacy process to ensure compliance with Mexican law. Legal agreements are drafted and signed in person to protect the rights of both intended parents and surrogates. With a public notary and streamlined documentation processes, we manage all legal procedures, including establishing parental rights after the baby’s birth.

LGBTQ+ Couples and Surrogacy in Mexico: What You Need to Know

December 2025

For many LGBTQ+ couples, starting a family has long been a dream postponed by legal, social, or biological barriers. However, in recent years, surrogacy has become a real, accessible, and hopeful option for those who wish to have a biologically related child and fully experience motherhood or fatherhood.

In Mexico, Surrogate Mexico offers an ethical, professional, and human alternative for same-sex couples to fulfill their life project: to have a baby and build a family with love and respect.

An option that respects diversity and puts families at the center

Surrogate Mexico’s model is designed to welcome all families, regardless of their composition. This includes same-sex male or female couples, as well as single LGBTQ+ individuals who want to become parents.

The possibility of choosing an egg or sperm donor, according to your preferences and needs, allows each couple to build a family tailored to them, with full legal, medical, and emotional support every step of the way.

A clear and safe structure at every stage of the process

One of the key differentiators of Surrogate Mexico is its comprehensive support model, which guarantees transparency, safety, and confidence at every stage. Some of the phases that LGBTQ+ couples value most are:

1. Initial contact and evaluation

From the first contact, the Surrogate Mexico team supports couples with empathy and professionalism. Detailed information is provided about the available options, legal requirements, and the step-by-step process.

2. Selection of the ideal program

The program is personalized according to each family’s needs. Couples can choose from different options that adapt to their particular situation, always prioritizing their well-being, desires, and ethical standards.

3. Choice of donor and surrogate

At Surrogate Mexico, the surrogate never contributes genetic material. Egg or sperm donation is done separately, anonymously, and safely. This ensures legal clarity and respect for everyone involved.

4. Structured medical and legal process

Thanks to the alliance with Ingenes Institute, In Vitro Fertilization procedures and embryo transfers are carried out under the highest medical standards. In parallel, a legal contract is signed and notarized to protect the rights of both the intended parents and the surrogate.

5. Support throughout the pregnancy

During the entire pregnancy, couples receive regular updates, emotional support, and logistical assistance.

What this means for the LGBTQ+ community

Having a baby in an environment of respect, professionalism, and human warmth is not only a personal achievement for many LGBTQ+ couples—it is also a collective victory. It means living motherhood or fatherhood without barriers and accessing a fundamental right: forming a family.

Every story lived at Surrogate Mexico is a testament that diverse family models are just as valid, loving, and functional as any other. And every birth is proof that love—when supported by science—can truly change the world.

A model that prioritizes respect and empathy

At Surrogate Mexico, we understand that this path involves not only medical and legal decisions, but also emotional ones. That’s why every step is designed to protect and care for everyone involved:

For couples, by offering clarity, emotional support, and ongoing guidance.
For surrogates, by ensuring their physical, emotional, and legal well-being.
For future babies, by guaranteeing an ethical, loving, and protected environment from before birth.

Choosing with confidence a model that celebrates all forms of love

If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community and dream of having a child, surrogacy in Mexico is a safe, respectful, and real option. Surrogate Mexico offers a model that not only meets legal and medical standards, but also understands your story, celebrates your diversity, and walks with you from the first contact to the birth of your baby.

Because love doesn’t have just one form. And every family born from respect, science, and a deep desire to raise a child with love is a family that helps transform the world.
