International Surrogacy Guide: USA vs Canada vs Mexico

Conceiving a family through surrogacy quite often entails international options, precisely for intended parents who are looking for affordable programs or specific legal protection. New favorites included in the list of favorite destinations are the USA, Canada, and Mexico, each having its advantages and demands.

Surrogacy4All helps families with such international options, offering physician-guided medical care, attorney advice, and open first fees to achieve a healthy and successful outcome.

Surrogacy in the USA

1. Legal Framework and Parentage

The US has great surrogacy laws. California, Illinois, and Connecticut are among the states that allow gestational surrogacy contracts and pre-birth parentage orders to provide intended parents with birth legal rights.

Key benefits:

• Great legal protection of intended parents
• Thorough single-parent and LGBTQ+ programs
• Experienced reproductive lawyers and judges
  

Surrogacy4All collaborates with premier US law firms to match agreements, offering a seamless, compliant process.

2. Costs and Medical Support

Surrogacy in the USA is more expensive, at $120,000–$180,000, and includes:

• Surrogate compensation
  
• Medical procedures and IVF
  
• Legal fees and insurance
  

The expense is higher but is offset by the advantage of better medical care, doctor management, and high IVF success rates, and is therefore highly prized by the majority of foreign couples.

3. Altruistic Surrogacy Laws

Altruistic surrogacy is permitted in Canada, where surrogates are only reimbursed for pregnancy-related expenses. Surrogacy agreements are legally binding and enforceable, and each province has a policy.

Key points:

• Less overall expense than in the U.S., normally $70,000–$100,000
• Post-birth legal status is normal.
• Waiting times are longer because fewer surrogates are available.
  

Surrogacy4All collaborates with Canadian professionals to arrange medical treatment, legal agreements, and payment to surrogates and meet local regulatory needs.

4. Safety and Screening

Medical safety is paramount in altruistic surrogacy. Donors and surrogates are well screened, and IVF is conducted under medical supervision to have the best outcomes of pregnancy.

5. Legal and Cost Considerations

Surrogacy is cheaper in Mexico, but it depends on the state with regard to legal status. Parent orders are more complex in some states, and foreign intended parents are not secure there.

The fee is $60,000–$90,000, but sound legal advice is necessary to prevent conflict over parental rights.

6. Choosing Safe Programs

Surrogacy4All only uses trained surrogates and experienced clinics in Mexico. Doctor-staffed medical care ensures that IVF cycles, embryo transfer, and prenatal care are subject to international standards of safety.
