What Has changed about surrogacy in Argentina?
In recent years, Argentina has become an attractive destination for surrogacy due to the quality of its medical system and the accessibility of the process. However, since last year, the legal security of surrogacy in Argentina has changed significantly.
Unlike other countries where surrogacy is regulated by specific laws, in Argentina, the process was based on administrative procedures that granted intended parents a birth certificate listing them as the legal parents without mentioning the surrogate. This made Argentina an appealing and safe destination for all types of families, as it allowed single parents to undertake the process without contributing genetic material.
Once the birth certificate was obtained, the Argentine passport could be issued within approximately four weeks, allowing families to return to their home countries.
However, everything came to a halt due to complaints filed with the prosecutor’s office, alleging that some local agencies were engaging in child trafficking. This led to the suspension of birth certificate issuance through administrative channels, requiring each case to be reviewed through a judicial process.
The Evolving Legal Landscape:
- There is no specific law regulating surrogacy, leaving the process subject to judicial interpretation.
- Access to court rulings is no longer immediate or guaranteed, creating uncertainty for intended parents.
- Until clear regulations are established or favorable legal precedents accumulate, the surrogacy process in Argentina remains uncertain.
