First steps to start a surrogacy in Mexico program
Starting a surrogacy in Mexico process requires prior preparation so that we can understand both the general context and the structure of the program. In recent years, the country has once again become an option for developing surrogacy programs under legal supervision.
In this context, at Medtravelco we support intended parents from the very first consultations so they can understand how the process is organized and what the main stages will be.
In this first phase, we ask intended parents to complete an initial questionnaire that allows us to understand their situation and guide the first decisions. From there, we organize informational meetings that can be held through video calls, making it possible to begin the process without the need to travel during the early stages.
One of the key elements of the program is obtaining a court order that approves the terms of the agreement signed between the gestational carrier and the intended parents. This resolution allows the names of the intended parents to appear on the baby’s birth certificate, providing legal certainty from the beginning.
Medical evaluation and program coordination
Once the initial structure of the program is defined, the medical phase begins. Within surrogacy in Mexico, this stage involves collaboration between fertility clinics, medical specialists and legal professionals who oversee that all requirements are met.
The first step consists of evaluating the fertility of the intended parents. If the father’s own sperm is used, the clinic performs the necessary tests to confirm that it meets the requirements to begin treatment. Additional medical evaluations are also carried out before moving forward to the next stages.
After this, the surrogacy agreement between the intended parents and the gestational carrier is signed. This contract defines the rights and responsibilities of each party and forms part of the legal framework of the process.
During this stage, regular appointments with the gynecologist monitor the progress of the pregnancy and ensure that both the gestational carrier and the baby are doing well.
Throughout the program we maintain ongoing support, keeping intended parents informed about progress according to the previously established timeline.
Treatment development and pregnancy monitoring in surrogacy in Mexico
The medical phase of the process takes place at the fertility clinic responsible for the treatment. Within surrogacy in Mexico, specialists perform the assisted reproduction procedures needed to create embryos that will later be transferred to the gestational carrier.
Once the embryos are prepared, the transfer to the gestational carrier takes place. Before this step, she undergoes the necessary medical and psychological evaluations required to participate in the program. After the procedure, the pregnancy is confirmed through medical tests and monitoring by the medical team begins.
During this stage, regular appointments with the gynecologist are scheduled to monitor the progress of the pregnancy and ensure that both the gestational carrier and the baby are doing well.
This follow-up continues throughout the pregnancy, with medical check-ups scheduled at different stages to ensure that everything progresses normally.
Travel, birth and documentation after surrogacy in Mexico
As the pregnancy approaches its final stage, preparations for the intended parents’ trip begin. In surrogacy in Mexico programs, it is recommended that parents arrive in the country approximately one month before the expected due date.
The birth takes place in a private hospital equipped with a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) if needed, ensuring that any medical needs of the newborn can be addressed. At the moment of birth, a team of pediatricians performs an initial examination of the baby to confirm their health.
After the birth, an administrative phase begins in which the necessary documentation must be completed. One of the first steps is obtaining the baby’s birth certificate, followed by the procedures required to obtain the passport and return to the parents’ country of residence.
During this final stage, we continue supporting families by providing guidance on the administrative procedures and helping them obtain the documentation required to return home to Spain with their newborn.
Surrogacy in Mexico is carried out through a structured process that combines medical coordination, legal supervision and international organization. Understanding each stage helps intended parents approach the journey with greater clarity, peace of mind and confidence.
