This webinar explores the growing interest in “hybrid” surrogacy journeys, where intended parents create embryos in one country and complete their surrogacy journey in another. With a focus on Canada and Mexico, the session unpacks why many intended parents are choosing this approach, including access to regulated IVF care, known egg donor options, shorter surrogate matching timelines, and overall cost considerations.
Speakers share practical insights into how these journeys work in reality, including embryo creation, shipping logistics, legal frameworks, matching timelines, and the birth and exit process. The discussion also highlights key risks, decision points, and factors to consider when comparing destinations or structuring a cross-border journey.
Real experiences from intended parents add context to the emotional and practical aspects of navigating this pathway, offering a grounded perspective on timelines, expectations, and decision-making.
