Surrogacy for same sex couples uk
Our surrogacy program makes the impossible possible.
Secure surrogacy for gay couples uk processes
More than 55% of the intended parents we assist are gay couples who, at a pivotal point in their lives, have felt the profound call of parenthood and sought a reliable gay surrogacy uk pathway.
Exploring surrogacy for gay couples uk is often the most secure and viable route to achieving fatherhood, especially given the practical impossibility of successful international adoption processes for same-sex partners. In fact, the number of successful gestational cases across Europe has significantly surpassed international adoptions over the last two years.
Surrogacy for gays is a practice that is taking place in fewer and fewer countries. Unfortunately, as the years have gone by, doors have been closing, such as in Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and, more recently, Russia.
We are not referring to the fact that in those countries surrogacy for gays or for heterosexual couples was allowed. In the countries mentioned, there was no law on surrogacy, and those who made a process here took advantage of a “legal vacuum”, with the premise that “what the law does not prohibit, is allowed”, but in those countries there was no legislation. Now there is, and it does not allow surrogacy for gays.
Although there are many countries where surrogacy can be performed, not all of them allow gay couples to perform surrogacy in those countries. This greatly reduces the list in comparison to heterosexual couples, who have more than 10 destinations where surrogacy can be performed.
Regulated surrogacy for gay couples uk destinations
Since its inception, Gestlife has had the philosophy of offering all destinations for surrogacy for gay couples that were possible for the intended parents.
Our dedicated gay surrogacy lawyers uk thoroughly research emerging countries, visit local jurisdictions, and open our own offices staffed by our own personnel. Because we are not mere intermediaries, we can directly ensure the premium quality of every clinical and legal provider involved in your journey.
In this way we are not obliged to offer only one destination, like some “agencies” who have only one destination to defend tooth and nail, discouraging all other destinations, because otherwise they have no “clients”. We can really recommend the most suitable destination for the needs of each parent.
Obviously, we want you to go through the surrogacy process with us. That is what we do. But once you decide to work with us, our priorities are threefold:
- Prevent you from making legal mistakes that could jeopardise your surrogacy process.
- To guarantee your medical success; a healthy baby.
- Reduce your expenses as much as possible. We prefer that you save your money for your child, not for intermediaries.
We will never force a destination upon you if it is not legally ideal for your specific circumstances, a common practice among agencies limited to a single jurisdiction. As the leading provider of lgbt surrogacy uk services, Gestlife proudly operates 15 physical offices across 11 countries.
When planning to undertake a secure LGTBIQ+ journey, it is vital to understand that there are three types of international frameworks where surrogacy for same sex couples uk citizens is facilitated. (Naturally, we omit the fourth group—countries where the practice is strictly forbidden—as discussing them offers no practical value to your family-building goals).
