Criteria and Program Locations

In some destinations, such as Mexico, and certain U.S. states, surrogacy for same-sex couples is legal, protecting both the surrogate and intended parents. Both partners are recognized as legal parents from birth. In other countries, the LGBTQ+ family may need to complete second-parent adoption or obtain a pre-birth order.

Medical indications
For a lesbian couple, surrogacy is often considered when carrying a pregnancy is not possible due to medical reasons. This may include infertility, the absence of a uterus, or other health risks that make pregnancy unsafe.
Health and age requirements
Intended parents must meet the legal age requirement and be medically fit for parenthood. Fertility clinics may require physical exams and psychological evaluations to ensure the parents can provide long-term care and support for their child.
Medical and legal documentation
A thorough medical history and fertility assessments are necessary to safely manage in vitro fertilization, egg donation, and embryo transfer. Legal documents must also be prepared to ensure parental rights are recognized in the chosen surrogacy destination.
Contracts and legal protection
Surrogacy agreements clearly outline the responsibilities of the gestational carrier and the prospective parents. Contracts protect the legal rights of both parties, prevent disputes, and ensure a smooth transition of parenthood from birth.
Emotional readiness
Parenthood is more than medical procedures — it requires patience, resilience, and emotional strength. Intended parents undergo psychological evaluations to confirm they are ready to nurture a child in a loving, stable environment.
