New surrogacy moratorium in Mexico

According to CNN, the governor of the state of Tobasco in Mexico has suddenly stopped allowing surrogate families to get birth certificates. And the story of U.S. couple stuck in Mexico due to surrogacy snafu just confirms that. Grayson Amireh was born to American parents in Mexico with the help of a surrogate. And now Mexican officials say changes to the law mean they can't take the baby back to California.

In many countries surrogacy is either illegal or completely unregulated. Until recently, in the Mexican state of Tobasco, however, surrogacy was regulated.

This makes it all the more disconcerting that this new surrogacy moratorium is preventing parents from bringing their children home. Very often, countries prioritize politics over the best interests of children or due process for surrogate or adoptive families. This most recent moratorium is yet another example of that injustice.

Mexico’s legislature is debating national laws to regulate (or prohibit) surrogacy. The passage and timing of future of legislation is high uncertain and commissioning parents would be wise to avoid beginning any surrogacy arrangements in Mexico at this time.
