The USA offers some of the most established surrogacy pathways globally, but there is no single national law. Outcomes depend heavily on state legislation, court practice, and contracts.

This week’s Supreme Court decision is an important step for families navigating surrogacy in Mexico City. While it doesn’t create a full regulatory framework, it gives judges a clear path to register children’s births when agreements are properly documented and consented. For intended parents, especially international families, this is a welcome reduction in uncertainty. But careful planning, legal guidance, and risk assessment are still essential. Growing Families supports families in understanding these complexities and ensuring their journey is safe, ethical, and well-prepared. Reach out to us if you're considering surrogacy in Mexico.
