MIRACLE Surrogacy partners with the best fertility clinics in Cancun and Mexico City. We are able to offer surrogacy in Mexico at a lower cost than any other clinic in the country. Our state-of-the-art European-style clinic is staffed by doctors, nurses, embryologists, and other team members who speak English and are fully trained in fertility.
This is our most popular surrogacy program and includes the surrogate, all associated treatments, exams, and medications. One IVF egg collection cycle with ICSI is also included if needed as well as one embryo transfer.
Local Mexican egg donors are available for an average cost of $6,500 USD. Also, we offer international donors from our frozen egg bank. Prenatal care and baby delivery are also part of this program. *The costs are spread out over the entire pregnancy.
Clients who already have frozen embryos can ship them to our Cancun clinic. The client first pays for the application and processing of the Health Department Permit, which costs $1,950; once approved, our clinic arranges for the shipment of your embryos to Cancun using our contracted, licensed shipper authorized to ship genetic materials internationally. The client is responsible for the shipping costs, which generally range from $4,000 to $5,000, depending on the origin. Just like our Premium Cancun Surrogacy Program, this program includes all medications for the surrogate, one frozen embryo transfer, as well as all the prenatal care and baby delivery too.*The costs are spread out over the entire pregnancy.
At MIRACLE Surrogacy, we are firmly committed to providing an affordable, comprehensive surrogacy program to everyone, regardless of HIV status. MIRACLE Surrogacy’s program available to our HIV+ clients is conducted entirely in Cancun, Mexico and includes everything needed to achieve your dreams of having a baby. Learn more about surrogacy for HIV+ Intended Parents.
If you wish to use your own eggs, that’s not a problem. We have a Self-Cycle Program using one of our surrogates to carry your baby for you, using your own eggs and your husband’s/partner’s sperm.
If you have your own surrogate and just need an egg donor (or maybe you even have your own egg donor) and just need us to arrange the IVF and embryo transfer for you, we can do that for you. We have very reasonable packages available for these services.
MIRACLE Surrogacy understands that starting the surrogacy process can be a little overwhelming. We have been right where you are…wondering where to begin, what to do next, and not knowing where to turn for help. Don’t worry….we will be there for you. Let’s start with a look at some frequently asked questions.
MIRACLE Surrogacy was started in 2014 by Brian and Henry Yaden who had their own child through surrogacy that same year. Since that time, they have helped more than 300 families with their surrogacy programs in Cancun, Mexico and have become the largest surrogacy agency and surrogacy clinic owner in Mexico. MIRACLE Surrogacy is based in the USA and has full-service surrogacy programs at its clinic in Cancun, Mexico that are legal, open to LGBTQ clients, as well as heterosexual couples and singles and HIV+ clients as well. MIRACLE Surrogacy’s success rates exceed 70 percent for the first embryo transfer, which is on par with—or exceeds—even the best surrogacy clinics in California. Anyone can open a surrogacy agency or fertility clinic, but Brian and Henry know how a surrogacy journey feels. They look forward to sharing their own surrogacy journey experiences with you and to help hold your hand throughout the process.
The answer is 100% yes, in that the federal government does not regulate nor prohibit surrogacy. In fact, the courts have fully supported the granting of full parental rights to the biological fathers and honoring and enforcing surrogacy contracts. The state government of Tabasco prohibited commercial surrogacy in January 2016, but this has no impact on surrogacy performed elsewhere in Mexico. MIRACLE Surrogacy’s lawyers have confirmed there are no restrictions on doing surrogacy in Mexico outside of Tabasco.
After your baby is born, it takes about 3 to 5 business days to obtain the birth certificate; our staff at the clinic will help you with this; you have the option to pay for an expedited service so you don’t have to wait in any lines and to make the whole process very easy. Your baby will automatically be a Mexican citizen and you are welcome to obtain a Mexican passport if you choose to get one. But more important is to secure citizenship for the baby from your home country.
The exit procedures for obtaining your baby’s passport and returning home with your baby depend on your country of citizenship. For most countries, it is very easy and requires obtaining a passport for your baby from your country’s consulate near Cancun or embassy in Mexico City. Some countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia have a requirement to do a DNA test to make sure you are indeed the biological parent of your new baby. For citizens of the United States and Canada, it takes only 3 weeks on average to complete the process, obtain your baby’s passport and return home with your baby. For other countries, it may or may not be more complicated.
Feel free to ask us about the exit process for your country of citizenship. While it is ultimately your responsibility to determine the steps required by your country and any legal implications with respect to obtaining citizenship for your baby, we are more than pleased to share our guidance with you based on our experience. You as the intended parent have the sole legal responsibility for working with your government through its embassy or immigration bureau to determine the procedures and obtain citizenship for your baby but we will help in any way we can.
The biological father and the surrogate’s names will appear on the Mexican birth certificate. This is very helpful and important when going through the exit process and procedures for obtaining citizenship for your baby from your country.
For U.S. citizens, the U.S. embassy will also issue a document called the Consular Report of a Birth Abroad (CRBA) with only the name of the biological parent who is a U.S. citizen. When you get back to the U.S., many jurisdictions will permit you to petition your local family court to allow the biological father’s partner (whether your husband/wife or unmarried partner) to become the other legal guardian/parent of the child having all the same legal rights and responsibilities as the biological father. Once you obtain this court order, you will ask the U.S. State Department to issue an amended CRBA with both names (the biological father and his husband/wife/partner). This is very important legally and emotionally. You will have no need for the Mexican passport ever again after returning home, as the CRBA is an official identification document and serves as a de facto international birth certificate.
Our surrogates sign contracts directly with our clinic and another contract directly with the intended parent, which clearly state that they have no genetic/biological connection to the baby and clearly state they give up all parental rights to the child. As part of the surrogate screening process, we spent a great deal of time educating the surrogate about the entire process and make sure they fully understand this is not their baby and there is no way they can “change their mind.” We have never had a single instance of a surrogate changing her mind, or causing any problems whatsoever. They are very loving and humble and respectable young women who are very special, and truly want to help another person or couple have a baby who cannot through traditional means. They do not simply do this for the economic assistance gained through the program. They really want to help you have a baby. This is a critical part of our screening process and we make sure this is in their heart to help you. As for the economic assistance gained, they do not receive their final payment—which is the most significant amount—until after your baby has been born, turned over to you and the surrogate has signed all documents needed for you to obtain the baby’s passport/citizenship.
Absolutely you can! Surrogacy is legal for Australians in Mexico. Our surrogates receive economic assistance throughout the program for medical expenses, lost wages, food/sustenance, clothing, and other items. We have successfully helped Australian citizens have babies through our surrogacy program in Cancun. The timeframe to complete the exit process and obtain your baby’s “citizenship by descent” and Australian passport varies, but is currently around 57 days.
We sure do! We have clients from all over the world, including the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, Ireland, Denmark, China and many more countries.
Surrogacy in the USA can be as much as $150,000 USD to over $200,000. Surrogacy in Mexico with MIRACLE Surrogacy costs around $46,900 for full-service programs in Cancun. MIRACLE Surrogacy also has a surrogacy program for clients who wish to use their own eggs.
All payments are made via wire transfer to our clinic’s USA bank account in US Dollars and are paid in the following stages:
HIV+ clients have to pay $5,300 USD for “sperm washing” at the outset of the program as well as $1,200 USD in lab work; there is also an extra $5,000 USD payment to the surrogate when the Stage 3 payment is made.
For clients who already have their own embryos, the Stage 1 payment is $5,000 USD less than what is noted above; however, they must pay $1,950 USD (pre-Stage 1) for the Mexican Health Department genetic materials importation permit process plus the cost of international shipment of the embryos using our contracted shipping company, licensed to ship genetic material in a special cryo-tank. Please ask us for more details. Stages 2 and 3 are the same as what is listed above.
Unfortunately, there are no financing options available. Payments are made in stages throughout the pregnancy via wire transfer.
You will always get full transparency from MIRACLE Surrogacy. No good comes from surprise charges and that simply isn’t going to happen to our clients. Our programs include everything you need to get pregnant and have a baby and get back home for an uncomplicated, successful pregnancy within the number of allowable attempts included in the programs. There are no hidden agency fees/hidden costs or charges; everything is clearly spelled out in the contract.
Some things are unpredictable, however and do incur extra expenses. For example, if you get pregnant with twins, there is an additional charge (once again, that’s spelled out in the contract, and covers extra money for your surrogate and other costs). Another example is if you use all your allowable embryo transfers and need to continue with additional transfers. If you run out of embryos and need another IVF egg collection cycle, that would be additional. If your baby requires neonatal intensive care (NICU) or if your surrogate requires any special care/treatment, this would also be an additional cost. These are all things that are unusual but can happen from time to time.
There are no hidden fees/charges. Everything is spelled out in your contract. However, some common charges not included are: $1,500 USD for freezing your sperm for 6 months (this is so we can make more embryos if you happen to run out of them and this way you will not have to incur travel costs coming back to Cancun); there is also a fully refundable medical escrow payment made when you sign your contract for $4,000 USD to cover the costs of any medical emergencies, or a C-section which costs $2,500 USD and would be deducted from this $4,000 USD medical escrow. The other charge not included is the cost of your egg donor; $1,500 USD to $3,000 USD for a local/Mexican egg donor, or $16,500 USD-$17,500 USD for an international egg donor.
If you require your surrogate to go with you to the embassy or consulate for an interview/appointment or to apply for your baby’s citizenship / passport, you will need to pay for the surrogate’s travel and accommodation expenses plus $100 USD per day paid directly to the surrogate for her time on the day/days she accompanies you.
On week 16 of pregnancy, all our clients make a one-time payment of $1,850 USD to MIRACLE Surrogacy. This is the only payment clients make directly to MIRACLE Surrogacy. All other payments are made directly to the clinic’s USA bank account in US Dollars.
Gender selection is included when choosing the optional pre-implantation genetics diagnosis (PGD), also known as PGT (pre-implantation genetics testing). This testing is extremely comprehensive. All 23 pairs of chromosomes are tested on the biopsied embryos (up to five embryos). This testing of course includes the “sex” chromosomes, so we will know the “sex” or gender of your embryos. The cost of this complex testing is $7,850 USD and is done by a very sophisticated laboratory in Mexico City. This is paid when you make your Stage 1 payment. If you choose not to do PGD later (for example, if you feel you do not have a sufficient number of embryos to move forward with the testing), we will refund this $7,850 USD to you. However, because of your initial decision to do PGD, this will mean that a surrogate was not prepared for you at the time of your embryo cultivation. This is ok: your embryos will be frozen and a surrogate prepared for the following month and we will then do a frozen embryo transplant (FET).
We encourage all clients to check with their health insurance carrier. Some insurance companies include all reasonable medical costs that arise AFTER your baby is born. But clients should check to be sure. No other insurance is included in our programs.
The cost is the same, about $46,900 but you must also pay $5,300 USD for “sperm washing” and $1,200 USD for lab work; there is also an extra $5,000 USD payment to the surrogate when the Stage 3 payment is made.
The cost is the same, about $46,900 but you do not have to pay for one of our egg donors.
We have a shipped embryo program that is about $41,900, plus the cost of the Mexican health department importation permit and the shipping costs, which vary.
Unfortunately, all of our programs require the use of one of our surrogates at this time.
Our success rate is around 70% for the first embryo transfer, which is among the highest in the world and is a direct result of our embryology protocols; our egg donor and surrogate screening; and our use of “backup surrogates” to ensure your surrogate has an endometrium (uterine lining) that is very optimal. But if you fall into the 30% category of those who aren’t successful with the first embryo transfer which is included in your program, each additional embryo transfer has a cost of $6,600 USD.
Our egg donors go through a rigorous screening process including complete medical testing, drug/tobacco and alcohol screening, STD/STI screening, psychological testing and counseling and full background checks. Additionally, extensive fertility screening is conducted.
The selection of your egg donor is a very important aspect of your surrogacy journey. Our clinic’s egg donation program gives clients many options, from inexpensive local Mexican egg donors, to international donors from around the world using our company-managed global egg donor network. All of our egg donors are fully screened, both medically and psychologically, as well as for drugs, tobacco and alcohol and STDs/STIs.
The first decision you should make is whether to select a local Mexican egg donor, or an international donor. They are all screened the same, so it is a matter of preference, but also cost. It is very inexpensive to use one of our local Mexican egg donors (between $1,500 USD and $3,000 USD). Our international donors are more expensive (between $16,500 USD and $17,500 USD). The reason the international egg donors are so much more expensive is because we must physically bring them to Cancun for the egg stimulation preparation which takes approximately three weeks, and they usually come with the egg donor coordinator from their home country. Whereas with the local Mexican egg donors, these travel costs are not a factor, so we can keep the costs very low.
Once you give final confirmation about your egg donor selection, you must sign your contract and make your Stage 1 payment in order to reserve/hold your egg donor. The reason for this is, a woman can only donate eggs every 60-90 days on average, and must be approved by the doctor to donate again after each donation. For this reason, we cannot reserve/hold egg donors without a signed contract and Stage 1 payment. It would not be fair to the egg donors otherwise.
Once you have signed your contract and made the Stage 1 payment, your egg donor will be reserved for you for the time period you are starting your surrogacy journey. No one else will be able to reserve her for that same time period. She will then undergo final screening. Remember, all egg donors are “prescreened” before entry into the program, but a woman’s fertility can change over time, so although egg donors are prescreened, after selection, more comprehensive medical screening/preparation may reveal specific conditions (e.g. follicle issues) that may result in the doctor requiring you to select a different egg donor. This is normal, and although it may be frustrating having to make another selection, this ensures the final egg donor selection creates the best chance for a pregnancy. Our doctor has your best interests at heart and wants you to have a successful journey with a successful pregnancy the very first try! So, if this occurs, we will simply move on to your second or third choice in your list of egg donors, or you can select another one acceptable to you.
We are excited about sharing this amazing journey with you and look forward to your egg donor list of 5 choices in priority order soon!
We look forward to beginning your surrogacy journey with you. For our Intended Parent Mothers wishing to use their own eggs, the following fertility tests must be conducted before we get started. Please obtain the results of these tests, scan and email to us so we can obtain our doctor’s approval for you to begin your program.
The whole process might take a month and a half. First the egg donor needs to start taking birth control pills for about 21 days; then she stops and her menstrual cycle starts and on the second day of her period, we start the egg stimulation protocol (injections), which takes from 10-15 days for her to be ready for the egg retrieval.
We can’t guarantee how many eggs the egg donor will have, but we set the medical conditions as optimal as possible to have as many healthy/mature eggs as possible in a safe manner.
Our surrogates go through a rigorous screening process including complete medical testing, drug/tobacco and alcohol screening, STD/STI screening, psychological testing and counseling and full background checks. Additionally, extensive fertility screening is conducted.
We also conduct complete medical testing, drug/tobacco, and alcohol screening, STD/STI screening, psychological testing and counseling and full background check. Additionally, ongoing counseling and support are provided to them throughout the pregnancy. The surrogates continue to live in their homes, with the full support of their families. Additionally, our clinic makes routine visits to the surrogates’ homes for wellness checks and to show them the entire staff cares about them. While egg donors remain anonymous, our intended parents will know the identities of their surrogates and may maintain contact through the clinic coordinator during pregnancy and on their own after pregnancy if they wish.
After your baby is born, your surrogate continues to receive counseling and regular medical checkups during her rest and recovery period.
We have a very successful surrogate recruitment program. About 90 percent of all our surrogates come to us as referrals from current or former surrogates. We are very proud of this. It means we are treating our surrogates well and they are very happy with the program; that’s why they refer their friends and family to us. There is never a wait for a surrogate and there is no “matching” process. We have lots of surrogates ready to get started now. There is no waiting period.
MIRACLE Surrogacy has a full cadre of fully screened surrogates who are ready to get started right away. There is no “wait time” or “matching” process that takes place. We assign your surrogate and you will receive the surrogate’s full name, photograph, profile with medical information and other family details such as the number of children she has and their ages.
All of our surrogates are required to live in Cancun and they must have their own children and must be legally single. They are fully screened medically, for general health, STD/STIs, drugs/tobacco/alcohol, psychological screening, background check and must also pass our in-clinic screening/education program and also we inspect their homes to ensure everything is ideal for a stress-free pregnancy.
Yes, all our surrogates live in their homes, often with parents, grandparents, siblings etc. Our psychologists have advised us that leaving the surrogate in her home throughout the pregnancy is better, so she can have the support and assistance of her family.
MIRACLE Surrogacy places significant emphasis on the medical and psychological wellbeing of its surrogates. We truly believe in our hearts that these very special women are the most important component of our programs and once they pass our rigorous medical and psychological screening, we ensure our surrogates feel like they are part of our family. We also do something really helpful, which is to visit them in their homes, unannounced, throughout their pregnancies. We do this in a very kind/gentle way that is not oppressive; we drop by with some maternity clothes or other gifts or vitamins/supplements and make sure everything looks great in their homes and at the same time show them how much we love and care about them. And we really do.
You are welcome to meet your assigned surrogate once anytime you wish. Most intended parents choose to wait until the middle of the second trimester to come for an in-person visit at our clinic. We will make these arrangements for you on a day your surrogate has a medical appointment/checkup. We also will make arrangements during any of your surrogate’s scans/ultrasounds for you to briefly see/chat with your surrogate via Whatsapp video or Skype. MIRACLE Surrogacy’s founders, Brian and Henry Yaden met their own surrogate when she was pregnant with their daughter, while she was in her second trimester. They both have said how important this meeting was for them—and for their surrogate. They have all commented how this mid-pregnancy meeting “took the edge off” and any awkwardness once it was time for their baby to be delivered. The recommend the same for all their clients.
Our surrogates all have their own biological children and are legally single and live in Cancun, close to the clinic.
Our surrogates sign contracts directly with our clinic and another contract directly with the intended parent, which clearly state that they have no genetic/biological connection to the baby and clearly state they give up all parental rights to the child. As part of the surrogate screening process, we spent a great deal of time educating the surrogate about the entire process and make sure they fully understand this is not their baby and there is no way they can “change their mind.” We have never had a single instance of a surrogate changing her mind, or causing any problems whatsoever. They are very loving and humble and respectable young women who are very special, and truly want to help another person or couple have a baby who cannot through traditional means. They do not simply do this for the economic assistance gained through the program. They really want to help you have a baby. This is a critical part of our screening process and we make sure this is in their heart to help you. As for the economic assistance gained, they do not receive their final payment—which is the most significant amount—until after your baby has been born, turned over to you and the surrogate has signed all documents needed for you to obtain the baby’s passport/citizenship.
It is such a blessing and a real MIRACLE to have a baby, so having two little MIRACLES is double the blessing. We are very proud of our twin birth rate. While there is no way to increase the odds of having twins other than implanting two embryos versus one, the fact is that 20-25 percent of the time, our pregnancies result in twins using two embryos. This is on par with any other fertility clinic in the world. To increase this chance, intended parents can have two surrogates at the same time, using embryos that come from the same egg donor and biological father (the cost is approximately double for having two surrogates, but we eliminate the egg donor charge for one of the surrogate programs because you will be using the same egg donor).
A charge of $7,000 USD is paid when you enter your third trimester on week 24 of pregnancy. We provide additional economic assistance to your surrogate and there are other medical costs we incur, and that is why we charge this $7,000 USD.
It is a very common dream of a gay couple to have two children, one genetically linked to one partner and the other baby genetically linked to the other partner, but BOTH from the same egg donor. In Mexico, because of laws and the way birth certificates are issued, the ONLY way to do this is by having two surrogates. We cannot legally transfer embryos made from two different biological fathers into the same surrogate. So the cost is essentially double, but you only pay for the egg donor compensation one time because you will be sharing her eggs.
From the time a client submits to us their semen analysis and STD/STI tests, passport copy and Client Information Form, it only takes one week to finalize the client’s egg donor selection (usually) and for the client to sign their contract and make their Stage 1 payment. After this, it only takes about 6 weeks to schedule your semen deposit at our clinic in Cancun and to prepare your egg donor and surrogate for the embryo transfer.
Clients only need to stay two business days for their semen deposit (in case two deposits are needed); three business days are required for our HIV+ clients to be able to leave additional samples due to the sperm washing process.
It’s easy to start your surrogacy journey with us. You just need to do a semen analysis and standard STD/STI testing. You will need to complete our Client Information Form and submit a copy of the photo page of your passport. We will then secure doctor approval for you to get started, and it will then be time for you to select your egg donor and sign your contract and make your first payment.
A semen analysis is a required part of our program. The semen analysis should be done within 6 months of the sperm deposit at our clinic.
STD/STI tests and semen analysis are required in order to participate in our program. The tests should be completed within 6 months before you make your sperm deposit at our clinic.
Semen deposits and semen analyses are collected via masturbation and depositing the semen into a plastic cup. When you go to do your semen analysis and eventually your semen deposit at our clinic, we advise you to follow the following “rules” (semen analysis and semen deposit tips):
We always transfer two, which is the industry standard, unless you want one embryo transferred. We discuss this with the client before any decision is made and with our doctor, who ultimately approves the decision.
As a single woman, you can absolutely do surrogacy in Mexico. However, because all birth certificates are issued using the biological father’s name and the surrogate’s name, you will need a trusted friend or relative to be your sperm donor and to sign all contracts. He will be the one responsible for retrieving the baby upon birth and completing the baby’s exit process to return to your home country. Later, you can have him relinquish all legal rights to the child and give you full legal rights.
A pregnancy can only be terminated if there is a life-threatening condition which could affect the life of the surrogate or if there is a severely debilitating medical condition present in the child.
