SURROGACY IN
MEXICO
Why Mexico?
There are many advantages to pursuing an international surrogacy journey in Mexico. One of the most significant advantage is financial. The lower total program costs combined with the established, fixed, all-inclusive package pricing and manageable, structured payment schedule make surrogacy in Mexico a cost effective, affordable option. Another important advantage is geographical. The proximity of Mexico to the United States and surrounding areas along with the diversity of Mexico's capital city make Mexico a convenient, highly desirable option. A considerable advantage is legal. The absence of surrogacy specific laws in all but a single state as well as the progressive culture in the capital city make Mexico an accessible, easily navigated, inclusive option. And the final, vital advantage is professional. The availability of highly trained, experienced, well respected medical and legal professionals with access to state of the art medical facilities and cutting edge equipment make Mexico a safe, comfortable, secure option. Each advantage is briefly discussed below.
Financial Advantage
The cost of our surrogacy programs in Mexico is less than 1/2 of the cost of programs in the U.S making a Mexico an affordable destination for an international journey. We offer four different program options in Mexico with total costs ranging from $68,000 up to $95,000 so there is a program option to fit every budget. Costs are quoted in writing; pricing is fixed and will not increase after contract signing; programs are all-inclusive
incorporating various components standard in every surrogacy journey and programs include multiple embryo transfers, multiple IVF cycles and egg donor services. In addition, the program cost is paid in multiple installments according to a comprehensive and detailed payment schedule provided prior to contract signing. This favorable financial structure significantly reduces the level of stress Intended Parents experience as a result of the "payment in full" requirement imposed in most domestic programs and it opens the door to surrogacy for many that were previously priced out of this family building option. The financial component of a surrogacy journey in Mexico helps make surrogacy available to more people and provides a process that can be successfully managed with confidence and ease resulting in a positive, enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Geographical Advantage
Mexico is one of the most convenient locations for pursuing an international surrogacy journey because its close proximity to the United States and other surrounding countries keep travel costs low and travel time minimal. Many IPs are already familiar with Mexico in some respect making the journey more comfortable and more enjoyable. All our surrogacy journeys take place in the historic capital of Mexico ~ Mexico City ~ were there are modern hotels, delicious restaurants, diverse neighborhoods and cultural events. A favorable exchange rate and a sizable bilingual population are two additional benefits that contribute to the positive, stimulating, enjoyable experience that make Mexico an ideal location for an international surrogacy journey.
Legal Advantage
After the Tabasco Civil Code section pertaining to surrogacy was revised at the beginning of 2016 there was a widespread misconception that surrogacy in Mexico was banned for foreign IPs as well as for single and gay IPs. This information is simply not accurate. Presently, surrogacy in Mexico is only legislated in one Mexican state ~ the state of Tabasco revised their Civil Code in January 2016 placing drastic restrictions on the availability of surrogacy, effectively banning all foreign, single and gay IPs but Tabasco laws have no impact on surrogacy performed elsewhere in Mexico. Alturistic surrogacy in Mexico is being performed regularly in Mexico City where surrogacy is neither regulated nor prohibited by any laws whatsoever creating what we refer to as a "legally neutral" environment with regard to surrogacy in Mexico. In fact, the courts have consistently upheld and enforced properly prepared, fully executed, valid surrogacy contracts. In addition, the courts regularly enter favorable rulings regarding termination of surrogate's parental rights and fully support granting full parental rights to the biologically related party. We have implemented an organized, simple, speedy procedure we follow to successfully navigate the exit process in the present legal environment and we've experienced incredible results thus far! Surrogacy in Mexico is open to single IPs, foreign IPs, same sex couples and heterosexual couples. Gay or straight, single or married, local or foreign ~ all are invited and encouraged to pursue a surrogacy journey in Mexico with IPC!
