Mexico Surrogacy: Can You Meet the Surrogate? It Depends

For many intended parents considering surrogacy, a common question is: “Can I meet the surrogate?” The answer is not simply yes or no. It depends on your personal preference, legal requirements, and the matching model with the surrogate. In Mexico, we can provide flexible options to ensure your surrogacy journey complies with regulations while also meeting emotional needs.

Two Common Models of Surrogacy Relationships

In surrogacy programs, the relationship between intended parents and the surrogate usually falls into two categories: anonymous (closed) or open.

1. Anonymous Surrogacy: Privacy First

In an anonymous model, the identities of intended parents and the surrogate are kept confidential. Communication is managed through an agency or clinic, and only essential medical information is shared. Personal identity details are not exchanged, and in most cases, there is no direct contact during the pregnancy. This model works well for parents who wish to protect their privacy and focus solely on the medical aspects of IVF and surrogacy. For some surrogates, anonymity also allows them to concentrate on the pregnancy without additional emotional pressure.

2. Open Surrogacy: Building Emotional Connections

In an open model, intended parents and the surrogate can connect during the pregnancy, and sometimes even meet before the process begins. This model allows parents to be more involved, experiencing the joy of the pregnancy journey together. Communication can include regular calls, video chats, or in-person meetings, creating a unique family experience. It is best suited for parents who value emotional bonds and wish to share moments with the surrogate during the pregnancy.

How to Choose the Right Model?

Your choice depends entirely on your personal preferences and values.

Emotional Needs: Do you want to build a relationship with the surrogate? Are you open to sharing parts of your life with her and including her in the process? If so, the open model may be right for you.

Privacy Needs: Do you prefer to protect your privacy and avoid emotional stress from direct interaction? If so, the anonymous model may feel more comfortable.

It is important to note that regardless of the chosen model, all legal documents and parental rights must be confirmed through proper court procedures. This ensures protection for both the surrogate and intended parents.
