Are you dreaming of becoming a parent through surrogacy?

---

In Colombia, surrogacy is not explicitly regulated by a specific law. However, the Constitutional Court has recognized its practice through jurisprudence, establishing certain parameters and conditions to ensure it is carried out ethically and responsibly. 

In Colombia, intended parents must meet medical, legal, and ethical requirements to participate in a surrogacy process. These include:

• Gamete contribution: At least one parent must contribute eggs or sperm to ensure a biological connection with the baby.
• Physical and moral suitability: Medical and psychological evaluations are conducted to ensure the parents can provide a stable and safe environment for the child.
• Informed consent: Parents must provide voluntary and documented consent, supervised by a specialized lawyer.
• Legal agreements: An agreement must be signed with the surrogate, outlining rights, obligations, and associated costs, and it must be approved by a lawyer.

This process is open to individuals and couples of diverse profiles, including single parents, same-sex couples, and those who choose this path as part of their life plan.

• Only women of legal age who meet medical and psychological requirements can participate.
• She must have at least one child of her own.
• The surrogate must have full autonomy to make decisions about her body and the process.

Although there is no specific law on surrogacy in Colombia, the parties typically draft a private agreement outlining the rights and obligations of the intended parents and the surrogate. This agreement must be supervised by a specialized lawyer to ensure its validity and compliance. 

Once the baby is born, the biological parents can register the child as their own, provided all agreed-upon terms are met.
