At IVF Origen Agency, we strive to make the legal process as straightforward as possible while ensuring protections for intended parents, surrogates, and egg donors. We work with surrogates and egg donors in Mexico, so our legal experts help you handle every aspect of the legal process, including the following, to ensure compliance with Mexican surrogacy laws:
Establishing Legal Parentage
When building a family through surrogacy, many intended parents fear their surrogate will want to keep the baby. However, you can establish legal parentage before your surrogate gives birth. With a pre- or post-birth order you and your surrogate sign, you can declare yourself the legal parent of your child and ensure your name is on the birth certificate, ensuring you’re recognized as your child’s legal guardian the moment they’re born.
Drafting and Signing Contracts
When using an egg donor, surrogate, or both, all parties must sign a contract agreeing to the terms of the process. Our legal experts want to protect the rights of everyone involved, so we help you draft and sign a contract with your egg donor or surrogate that clearly lays out your rights and the arrangement you’ve decided on. With this informed guidance, you can make the best decisions for your future and ensure everyone is on the same page.
Following Legal Requirements
In addition to navigating the contract process, our legal experts ensure your agreement complies with Mexican laws, including the following:
- Gestational surrogacy: Mexico only allows gestational surrogacy, which means the surrogate can use their own eggs or be genetically related to the child. Therefore, we only offer this type of surrogacy services at IVF Origen Agency.
- Genetic parent: For international surrogacy in Mexico, at least one genetic intended parent must be a citizen of the baby’s country of residence.
With our knowledgeable and diligent team ensuring your fertility journey abides by these laws, you can focus on the excitement of building your dream family.
Obtaining Citizenship
If you pursue international surrogacy with IVF Origen Agency, you must obtain citizenship for your baby after they’re born. Our efficient and trusted team can help you file the proper documentation and take the appropriate testing to prove genetic relation and achieve citizenship status in your country of residence. We have worked with intended parents in over 70 countries, so you can rely on us to help you navigate this process based on your country’s laws.
