Considering surrogacy in Mexico? Critical legal updates you can't afford to miss.
Stephen Page, Director at Page Provan Family & Fertility Lawyers, breaks down two groundbreaking Mexican Supreme Court decisions that are reshaping surrogacy timelines and processes for Australian intended parents.
Mexico has gone from a niche surrogacy destination to a booming market — surrogacy agencies have tripled from 20 to 60 in just a couple of years. But with growth comes change. Current timelines have blown out to 10–16 weeks (up from 7–8 weeks historically), but a February 2026 Supreme Court decision allowing pre-birth orders in state courts could speed things up dramatically. Stephen explains what these rulings mean, how AMPARO orders work, and what Australian intended parents should expect when planning Mexican surrogacy in 2026.
