IVF and fertility have become increasingly popular topics of discussion, with more politicians and media outlets sharing their thoughts about the industry. In March of this year, The Atlantic published an opinion piece describing the American fertility industry’s regulation as underdeveloped. However, Sean Tipton, the chief advocacy and policy officer for the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, disagrees with this sentiment, emphasizing that in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is the only procedure in the U.S. that requires doctors to report their success rates.
With this trending discourse about fertility in the U.S., many intended parents have turned to international agencies or agencies that use international donors. At IVF Origen Agency, we use egg donors and surrogates from Mexico, making our services 50% less expensive than in the U.S. Guidelines for Mexican and U.S. fertility also differ in the legal framework, anonymity, and citizenship. Our experienced team can help you understand these differences so you can start your path to parenthood and focus on the joys of building a family.
How Do International Fertility Guidelines Differ from the U.S.?
When it comes to IVF and fertility, every country has different guidelines and regulations. In countries like the U.S. and Mexico, many rules are left up to the individual states, making the fertility process even more complex. At IVF Origen Agency, we use surrogates and egg donors from Mexico, so we communicate the differences between the guidelines there and in the U.S., which include the following:
Cost
The major difference between the fertility industry in Mexico and the U.S. is the cost for intended parents. In the United States, the egg donation and surrogate process can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, making it challenging to access these services. When using our exceptional services at IVF Origen Agency, you can still access highly qualified and rigorously screened donors for half the price without compromising the quality of care.
Legal Framework
In 2021, the Mexican Supreme Court, Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación, ruled that surrogacy is a legal and protected procedure in the country while allowing individual states to regulate the practice. While the states in the U.S. also make their own surrogacy laws, the U.S. Supreme Court has not decided to protect the procedure at a federal level.
Citizenship
When a baby is born via surrogacy in Mexico or the U.S., the child is automatically a citizen of the country they are born in. Therefore, if you are an intended parent from the U.S., and you match with one of our Mexican surrogates, your child will receive Mexican citizenship if they are born in Mexico. If you are a U.S. citizen, you can file a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) to claim your child’s U.S. citizenship. We understand the legal aspects of using a Mexican surrogate, so you can rely on us to assist you with this often complex process.
Anonymity
When using an egg donor in the U.S., most egg donors remain anonymous. However, more open programs are available for the donor and intended parents to connect and establish a relationship. In contrast, all Mexican egg donors are anonymous. This means donors do not have contact with intended parents, and personal information is not exchanged. At IVF Origen Agency, we offer a premier egg donor database that keeps donors anonymous while sharing the donor’s physical traits, genetics, age, and health history, so you can find your perfect match.
