Surrogacy for single men
We make the impossible possible
Surrogacy processes for single men
More than 55% of our fathers are men who, at some point in their lives, have received the call of fatherhood. Surrogacy for single men is the best way to achieve fatherhood, due to the difficulty of successfully achieving an international adoption process. In the last two years, Europe has seen more surrogacy cases than international adoptions.
Surrogacy for single people is being practiced in an increasingly limited number of countries. Unfortunately, as the years have passed, countries like Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam have shut down this option.
We are not suggesting that surrogacy for singles was ever legally permitted in those countries. In the mentioned countries, there was no surrogacy law, and those who engaged in it took advantage of a “legal vacuum,” with the understanding that “whatever is not prohibited by law is permitted.” However, now there is legislation, and prohibit surrogacy for singles.
Although there are many countries where surrogacy can be done, not all of them allow single men applying for surrogacy. This greatly reduces the list compared to heterosexual couples, who have more than 10 surrogacy destinations.
Surrogate motherhood for single men
Since its inception, Gestlife has been committed to offering as many destination options as possible for single parents.
We research countries where surrogacy is available for singles, visit them, open our own offices with our staff (we are not intermediaries), and ensure the quality of the services provided.
This approach allows us to recommend the most suitable destination for each parent’s needs, rather than being restricted to one location like some agencies that only promote a single option.
Of course, we hope you will choose to go through the surrogacy process with us, as that is our specialty. However, once you decide to work with us, our main focus is on three priorities:
- Prevent you from making legal mistakes that could risk your surrogacy journey.
- Guarantee success on the medical side to ensure a healthy baby.
- Reduce your expenses as much as possible. We prefer that you save your money for your child, not for intermediaries.
Unlike many “agencies” that only have one destination to propose, we will not recommend a location for your surrogacy process unless it truly fits your needs. Gestlife operates 14 offices across 10 countries.
It is crucial for those undertaking surrogacy to understand that there are three types of countries where surrogacy is possible. There is also a fourth group where surrogacy is prohibited, which we will not discuss to avoid wasting your time.
In which countries is surrogacy for single men allowed?
There are countries with specific legislation that grants intended parents (you or both of you) the right to proceed with a surrogacy process.
These laws transfer the child’s rights from the surrogate to the intended parents. The regulations in these countries have either been created by their parliaments or later modified through rulings by high courts, such as the Constitutional Court, to permit certain people to undertake surrogacy.
The following countries are where a surrogacy process can be carried out because their laws allow it:
Then there are the countries in which, without having a specific legislation, surrogacy is normally carried out, because their courts recognize it:
(1) There is no law, but there is ample jurisprudence that allows it.
(2) There is no law, but surrogacy processes are carried out.
(3) There is no law on surrogacy, with an important legal loophole.
(4) There is no law on surrogacy for single men, with an important legal loophole.
