What is a surrogacy attorney in Colombia?

Surrogacy is a process that includes several stages, we might even call it a complex process since it involves different layers raging from medical to legal issues. In the medical part of a surrogacy, the professionals that will assist the intended parent(s) will be physicians and fertility clinics. However, for the legal matters that need to be faced during a surrogacy, the only professional that can provide legal advice is an attorney.

A surrogacy attorney is the professional in charge of drafting and reviewing the legal documents that are needed in the medical stage of a surrogacy, such as the IVF transfers and the thawing of eggs or sperm. Additionally, he/she will be the intermediary between the intended parent(s), the surrogate mother and the fertility clinic. However, one of the vital tasks of a surrogacy attorney is to prepare for unforeseen situations and liabilities that may arise. These situations might happen when the surrogate mother refuses to deliver the newborn child to the parent(s), custody battle, not compliance with the agreements, and so on.

As a result, when unforeseen circumstances arise, surrogacy attorneys will be in charge of the legal representation in the legal disputes between the involved parties. Additionally, they will establish the legal strategies for the case that will protect the rights and interests of the parent(s).

Surrogacy attorneys are law professionals needed in order to protect the rights of all the parties and entities involved in a surrogacy process. The parties protected by the legal advice from a surrogacy attorney include the intended parent(s) themselves, the surrogate mother, and most importantly the newborn child.

What does a surrogacy attorney do in Colombia?

Foremost, we need to bear in mind that every surrogacy process is unique for each intended parent(s). With that in mind, what every surrogacy pregnancy has in common is the medical procedures and legal processes that they have to face. Due to this fact, some services provided by a surrogacy attorney in Colombia include:

  • Drafting of legal documents for surrogacy agreements.
  • Guidance of international clients with Colombian legislation.
  • Work as an intermediary between the parties, which include, the surrogate mother, fertility clinics and agencies.
  • Assistance in the migratory process of international parent(s).
  • Registration of the birth certificate.
  • Regulation of the rights of the minor and the surrogate mother.
  • This list is simply for example and is in no way restrictive to all the faculties that a surrogacy attorney will perform for the intended parent(s) during their surrogacy process in Colombia, they are simply the most solicited. In Lawrrogacy Attorneys our lawyers will represent you in any dispute and issue that arises before, during and after the surrogacy process.

    Why do I need a surrogacy attorney in Colombia?

    Colombia, as a destination for surrogacy, is one of the best countries to perform it. That is why, recently, intended parent(s) from around the world have chosen Colombia as the country to have their surrogacy process. Our country has positioned itself as a favorite destination for intended parent(s) due to our competitive prices and high-quality procedures.

    Notably, there are still barriers that international parent(s) need to face when coming from abroad, for example, national legislation and regulations that are far from their understanding. This is the moment when a surrogacy attorney will be needed the most, as a guide and advisor for the parent(s) to understand Colombian legislation. Plus, they will be the legal representatives of the parent(s) in all legal matters like the drafting of contracts, custody cases, financial compensation for the surrogate mother and any issue that may arise before, during or after the surrogacy pregnancy.

    What's more, as the intended parent(s) are foreigners, this will lead to a noticeable amount of paper work in civil registration and immigration procedures. In other words, it will be essential for a surrogacy attorney to handle all the registration processes like the inclusion of the parent(s) in the birth certificate of the newborn child. All the processes mentioned above are done to regulate the rights of the minor and the parent(s) in order to protect them. It is in our highest interest, as Lawrrogacy Attorneys, to protect and advocate for the rights of the newborn child and his or her parent(s).
