Surrogacy in Mexico: Everything You Need to Know Before Starting
November 2025
Surrogacy has transformed the way many people can fulfill the dream of having a child. In Mexico, this process has gained relevance thanks to its functional legal framework, advanced medical infrastructure, and a deeply human model that recognizes the diversity of families and the importance of comprehensive support.
In this complete guide, we explain everything you need to know before beginning a surrogacy process in Mexico, answering common questions, explaining key stages, and showing you how at Surrogate Mexico we work under the pillars of clarity, empathy, and legality.
What is surrogacy?
A simple and human definition
Surrogacy is a process in which a woman carries a baby for another person or couple who, for various reasons, cannot do so themselves. Although it is sometimes thought to be only a medical technique, it is actually a deeply human experience that involves bonds, agreements, emotions, and support.
Types of surrogacy
In surrogacy, an embryo created with the future parents’ gametes or donor gametes is implanted. In this case, the surrogate has no genetic link to the baby.
At Surrogate Mexico, all our processes are gestational, which guarantees emotional and legal security for all parties.
Who can access surrogacy?
Surrogacy is a real alternative for a wide variety of people:
- Women with a non-functional uterus or who have lost their uterus
- People with medical conditions that make pregnancy risky
- Same-sex couples
- Single men who want to become fathers
- Women with a history of repeated fertility treatment failures
In all cases, the desire to build a family is the starting point, and medical, legal, and emotional support is essential to ensure a safe journey.
Is surrogacy legal in Mexico?
Current legal framework
At Surrogate Mexico, all processes are supported by a legal team that ensures:
- Clear contracts signed before a notary
- Protection of the intended parents’ rights
- Assurance of the surrogate’s well-being
Certainty from the beginning
One of the key aspects of our model is that parental affiliation is established before birth, providing total peace of mind and full legal support to the future parents.
What is the step-by-step process like?
- Initial contact and guidance
Everything begins with a conversation. Our team listens to your story, answers your questions, and accompanies you so you can make an informed decision. - Evaluation and documentation
Your medical situation is reviewed, the legal model is explained, and the foundation for personalized support is established. A contract with Surrogate Mexico is also signed, and the search for the ideal surrogate begins. - Selection of the surrogate
The surrogate goes through an extensive medical, psychological, and legal evaluation. Only women who meet strict criteria of health, emotional stability, and ethical motivations are selected. - Signing of contracts
A legal agreement is established between both parties, reviewed by attorneys and signed before a notary. This document covers all aspects: rights, obligations, compensation, medical care, etc. - Embryo transfer
Once the surrogate is prepared and the embryo is created (with own eggs or donor eggs), the embryo transfer is performed by a specialized medical team. - Pregnancy monitoring
Throughout the nine months, there is continuous medical monitoring, periodic reports to the parents, and emotional support for both the surrogate and the future parents. - Birth and legalization
When the time of birth arrives, the legal protocol that establishes parentage is activated. The baby is delivered to their parents, and the necessary legal procedures are completed.
