Mexico Surrogacy: The Five Standards for Choosing a Truly Open Country | POWER IVF Live

For many intended parents, the surrogacy journey begins with a crucial decision: choosing the right country. However, whether a country is truly open and suitable for third-party gestation can't be judged by marketing alone. As our POWER IVF experts point out, to understand the reality of its laws and policies, you need to consider five core points.

 Five Core Standards to Judge if a Country is Right for Surrogacy

1.  Can Compensation Be Accepted?

    True openness means that the surrogate's efforts can be reasonably compensated. This not only respects the surrogate’s work and dedication but also ensures the quality and stability of the service.

2.  Can It Provide Services to Foreigners?

    Many countries' assisted reproductive laws only apply to their own citizens, excluding foreigners. A truly open country's laws should provide equal services to all intended parents in need, regardless of their nationality.

3.  Can It Provide Services to the LGBTQ Community?

    A country's openness and inclusivity are reflected in its legal support for different family structures. The ability to provide surrogacy services to the LGBTQ community is a sign of its legal progress and commitment to human rights.

4.  Can It Provide Services to Single Individuals?

    In many countries, it is almost impossible for single individuals to legally have a child through third-party gestation. A truly open country, however, should provide equal opportunities for single men and women to have children.

5.  Is Egg and Sperm Donation Permitted?

    Egg donation and sperm donation are necessary paths for many intended parents to complete their family dream. If a country can legally and properly facilitate egg donation and sperm donation, its assisted reproductive system is more complete.

 Why Mexico and the US Are Unique Choices

On a global scale, Mexico and the US are the only two countries that can simultaneously meet all five of these core standards. This uniqueness gives them a special status in the field of international assisted reproduction.

In the case of Mexico, its legal system is not only sound but also shows an impressive ability to adapt in practice. Even in emergency situations, such as a surrogate giving birth prematurely before legal documents can be finalized, Mexico's legal system can ensure the child's parentage is clearly established through court orders. This provides intended parents with extra peace of mind, ensuring the legality and continuity of the process with no gray areas.
