Surrogacy Insights

 

In 2016, a Bill was presented in Ecuador to permit compensated surrogacy and instructed the courts to uphold the terms of a surrogacy contract and recognize the intended parents as parents. This Bill is still in the committee stage but is seen as a progressive approach to surrogacy.

 

Ecuador’s legal system actively recognizes domestic partnerships, showcasing a progressive stance towards LGBTQ+ rights. 

 

Despite the absence of a formal legal framework, surrogacy remains a prevalent and burgeoning practice within Ecuador. In the absence of specific regulations, individuals and agencies engage in surrogacy arrangements, contributing to its continued growth and prominence as a significant sector in the country’s reproductive landscape.
