Care Surrogacy Mexico Facts

There is no doubt that surrogacy can be expensive, but the success rates are high.  With sound legal advice from Ivan Davydov (Care Surrogacy Mexico Reproductive Attorney)http://www.surrogacymexico.com/about-us/meet-the-team and guidance from the supportive staff, you can manage the risks and bring home a beautiful baby.



Whether you've been trying to get pregnant without success or are in need of a donor egg/sperm…or if the thought of another failed fertility treatment seems unbearable, surrogacy could help you bring home a baby.  


There are two kinds of surrogacy: gestational and traditional. With a gestational carrier a carrier becomes pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF).  The intended parents may provide the egg and sperm for IVF, or donor eggs and sperm can be used.  In gestational arrangements, the surrogate is not genetically related to the child.


Traditional surrogates, on the other hand, are genetically linked to the child.  In this situation, a woman becomes pregnant after artificial insemination.  The surrogate’s egg is fertilized by sperm from the intended father, or by sperm from a donor.  

Care Surrogacy Mexico Facts

You have a really good chance of success with a surrogate or carrier. 


Over half of all gestational carriers get pregnant after the first IVF attempt.  Those that need a second or third attempt are almost always successful as well.


If you choose a gestational carrier, don’t be surprised to bring home twin babies.  Almost half of all gestational carriers give birth to multiples.


Surrogacy may sound appealing, but it is not cheap…especially in the U.S.  Care Surrogacy Mexico has created a program that makes surrogacy affordable.  


Legal guidance is paramount to a successful surrogacy arrangement.  You should never embark in a surrogacy quest without an experienced attorney…hence, Ivan Davydov.  http://www.surrogacymexico.com/about-us/meet-the-team


If you choose surrogacy, you will want to make sure that you are taking care of yourself along the way.  You should make a habit of living a healthy lifestyle, have all the necessary tests with your obgyn/pcp, and have funds saved for your surrogacy journey.

Building a Family as a Single Parent through Surrogacy

I didn't go into the surrogacy process thinking I would be a single parent but in life things happen and you must roll with the punches.

I am often asked, "what was it like being a lone with Luca in Mexico for 4 months after he was born."  There were definitely stressful moments, especially because I do not understand/speak Spanish.  I've always been a self sufficient person and having to rely on others to make Luca's pediatrician appointments and schedule taxis (that sometimes never showed up) was incredibly difficult for me and something I don't think I'll ever get used to.



Care Surrogacy Mexico is contacted daily by many single individuals…straight and gay.  If you are female you first need to see your obgyn and have the necessary tests done..(fertility, etc.)  From there you can make a decision on whether you will be using your own eggs or a donor egg.  You also choose a sperm donor if you do not already have someone in mind.  If you are male you will also be required to have your fertility tested to see if you sperm is functioning.   Male clients can use a donor egg…some have even had a friend donate their eggs for the surrogacy.  

Female clients that are using their own eggs will fly to Mexico City, meet with the doctor to start the egg stimulation/transfer process.  Then after about 10-12 days the doctor will implant the eggs into the surrogate.  Afterwards you can fly back home and wait for your pregnancy results.  (If you are using a friend's sperm it's considerate to pay for his travel expenses to Mexico)

Male clients who are using their sperm will fly to Mexico City a day or two before the scheduled egg transfer so the doctor make collect their sperm sample.  After that you are free to leave.  (If you are using a friend's eggs it's considerate to pay for their travel expenses to Mexico)



An important factor to keep in mind as a single parent going through surrogacy is the financial burden.  You do not have two incomes so it's best to set a side extra money.  You will need funds to fly to Mexico City and your stay there as well as Villahermosa when the baby is born.  You will also need available funds for the babies medical expenses, (pediatrician/shots), the ministry for the birth certificate, the embassy for the passport, transportation, food, etc.  Yes, Mexico is less expensive than the U.S. and the U.K. but expenses add up.  You should go into your surrogacy quest mentally and financially prepared.
