Is Surrogacy Legal in Mexico?
Since 1997, surrogacy has been legal in Tabasco, Mexico, because of a modification in the state’s civil code. It stated that a child born from a surrogate mother would legally belong to the parent who contracted the birth. No more detailed regulations for the Mexican surrogacy process were enacted.In response to growing controversies in surrogacy programs around the world, the Tabasco government recognized the need for safe surrogacy regulations in 2016. That year, new laws banned international intended parents from completing a surrogacy in Mexico. Mexican LGBT individuals and couples and heterosexual singles were also prohibited from the surrogacy process.
Today, only heterosexual couples with Mexican citizenship, between the age of 25 and 40, who can prove their inability to carry a pregnancy, are allowed to pursue surrogacy in Mexico.
Therefore, international intended parents who wish to pursue surrogacy in Mexico would be doing so illegally.
