Surrogacy, also known as gestational surrogacy, is a process in which a woman (the surrogate) carries and gives birth to a biological child of another person or couple (the intended parents).
In this process, assisted reproductive techniques are used to implant the embryo in the surrogate mother, who agrees to carry the pregnancy to term and deliver the baby to the intended parents after birth.
Surrogacy is allowed in some countries, the most known are Colombia, Mexico, Ukraine, United States, among others.
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and agency. Generally, surrogates must be in good physical and mental health, have had previous successful pregnancies, and meet certain medical and legal criteria.
Selection may depend on the agency or the agreement between the parties. Factors such as medical compatibility, health of the expectant mother, and emotional relationship are often important considerations.
Costs may vary, including financial support from the pregnant woman, medical, legal, and other expenses related to the process.
Rights vary by jurisdiction and contract. It is important to clearly state these rights in a legal agreement, covering aspects such as medical decisions and parental rights.
The surrogate has no parental rights over the baby and has no intention of keeping it.
For both the intended parents and the surrogate, surrogacy can be emotionally challenging, which is why they count on psychological support from start to finish. Emotional support and open communication are essential.
The duration may vary, but generally involves several months, from the selection of the surrogate to the birth of the baby and recovery of the surrogate.
Legality is ensured through sound legal contracts, compliance with the laws of the legal system and legal advice throughout the process. It is important to know and respect the laws in both the country of origin and the country of residence of the intended parents.
