In this episode of Surrogacy Warrior, host Kim Surratt engages with Sofia Perez, a Mexican attorney specializing in international family reproduction law, to discuss the growing rise of surrogacy in Mexico and the importance of understanding its legal landscape. Sofia highlights why independent legal counsel is essential, the ethical considerations within surrogacy agreements, and the risks that come from inconsistent or poor practices. Their conversation also covers informed consent, the legal implications of parentage and birth certificates, and closes with insights on the future of surrogacy law in Mexico and the need for thorough due diligence by intended parents.

Tune in to the episode to hear about:

• How surrogacy in Mexico is expanding while ethical standards remain inconsistent.

• Why clear communication between intended parents and gestational carriers is vital.

• The risks created by limited oversight of surrogacy agencies.

• Why adoption is not a simple alternative and involves complex procedures.

• The importance of understanding legal rights and obligations for everyone involved.

• How thorough due diligence supports ethical and safe surrogacy practices.

• The way courts work to protect all parties in the surrogacy process.

• Potential legal developments that may strengthen Mexico’s surrogacy landscape.
