read more
The rights of a surrogate mother in Argentina are determined by the civil code and the constitution of the country. In addition, there are conditions of the Contract that cannot infringe on the constitutional rights of a woman.

And a previously obtained voluntary written agreement to bear a child for them (consentimiento) can be declared null and void by an Argentine court.
How Much Does Surrogacy Cost in Argentina?
read more
In Argentina, the surrogate mother's remuneration can fluctuate widely from 20,000 to 60,000, but it should be remembered that these figures can increase by 20-50%, because there are hidden surcharges. The Argentine system of regulation of reproductive medicine does not even allow regulating guaranteed programs, when the final price is fixed. Historically, Argentina has been constantly fighting against human trafficking, so all laws are extremely strict and restrictive. Therefore, Argentina has a disadvantage that clinics cannot provide you with a guaranteed program, and you cannot select a donor by description or by photographs, and therefore there are surcharges and hidden payments. If this does not suit you, then you should pay attention to guaranteed surrogacy programs in Ukraine, where there are no surprises, everything is legal, and the final price is unchanged.

How Long Does the Surrogacy Process Take in Argentina?
read more
Depending on the chosen program, you should be prepared to wait 12-24 months, but on average it is one and a half years. The period is determined by the time it takes to create an embryo, choose a donor, and carry out the IVF transfer. The pregnancy itself may not occur the first time, and the time for a second attempt in case of a negative result adds another 9 months to the period.
What are the risks associated with surrogacy in Argentina?
read more
Argentina is a country with an unstable social and economic situation. You risk being locked in this country awaiting another trial. There is a risk that the surrogate mother will collude with the mafia and want to blackmail you by not giving you the child. The risk is very small, but, unfortunately, such cases are isolated. The main risk is additional payments when your program grows in cost, despite the promised cost of 50,000 - 60,000.
