Lately, Argentina has become one of the most popular surrogacy destinations due to the legal framework in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The main reason is that the government lists only both intended parents (or a single parent) on the birth certificate of any newborn. Consequently, they are awarded full parental rights from birth. In fact, the surrogate mother’s name is not included in any of the baby’s records.
Legal Framework in Buenos Aires, Argentina
In fact, in 2017, this was based on a judicial ruling, which acknowledged the rights of parents via surrogacy. Therefore, the transfer of parentage does not require a court order in this jurisdiction. In addition, babies born through surrogacy are also entitled to an Argentine passport. Nevertheless, some countries may not allow the entry of a newborn on a tourist visa. At Limeres, we can assist in obtaining the travel documents required by the government where the family will reside. In addition, we can process all the proper certification and the legal translation, if necessary.
As regards compensation for the surrogate mother, it involves the costs related to the pregnancy process. For example, medical exams, potential damages, psychological assistance, physical therapy, life and health insurance, postpartum care, travel expenses, clothing, and a variety of related costs. It is worth noting that surrogate with previous successful experiences of carrying full-term pregnancies and deliveries may charge higher fees.
