Why Choose the United States for Surrogacy?
In most European countries, including Spain, surrogacy is illegal and strictly prohibited by law. As a result, many prospective parents turn to the United States for help in having their own biological children. Furthermore, American customs and laws, plus the wide availability of outstanding medical expertise, make the United States the country of preference for surrogacy overseas.
For international couples, having children via surrogacy in the United States can be surprisingly easy. All that is usually required is 2-4 trips to the United States. An added benefit is that all children born in the United States automatically become American citizens. As a result, most international parents can return to their home country with both the American birth certificate and the American passport of their newborn within 3-4 weeks of birth.
Cost of Surrogacy Abroad
The favorable exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and many other currencies may make it even more cost effective for patients to choose surrogates from the United States. Currently the Euro, Peso, British Pound and Japanese Yen all have favorable exchange rates with the U.S. Dollar.
