Meet Our Expert Speakers
Parents & Families Speaking at our London Event
Planning a surrogacy journey often means navigating very different systems, timelines, and cost structures. Mexico and Canada are two of the most commonly explored options, each offering distinct advantages and challenges. For many families, combining the two through a hybrid approach can help reduce costs and improve predictability, but only when it’s done thoughtfully.
In this 60-minute webinar, fertility clinics, surrogacy agencies, and recent parents will walk through how surrogacy works in Canada and Mexico, how the processes differ, and how hybrid models can bring these pathways together. The session is designed to help intended parents better understand their options and make more informed decisions based on their circumstances.
