Why Colombia?

Inclusive, affordable, and trusted by families around the world.

1. Legally supported and inclusive

Colombia allows gestational surrogacy when supported by proper medical and legal documentation. While there’s no specific surrogacy law in place, constitutional protections for reproductive rights and family equality provide a strong legal foundation.

Colombian judges have consistently ruled in favor of intended parents, including single individuals and LGBTQ+ couples, as long as informed consent and legal agreements are in place.

This growing legal clarity, combined with Colombia’s inclusive access for both local and international families, makes it one of the most trusted destinations for surrogacy in Latin America.

2. High-quality care at accessible costs

Colombia offers world-class fertility treatment at a fraction of the cost seen in the US or Europe. IVF, egg donation, and prenatal care are managed by leading clinics in cities like Bogotá, Barranquilla, and Medellín.

3. Warm, family-oriented culture

Colombian culture values family, care, and respect. Surrogates are treated with dignity, and intended parents often build strong, supportive relationships throughout the journey. Most professionals speak English or French, and cities are well-equipped to host international visitors.
