Testimonials
Parents who already hold their baby in their arms.
“Gisell and the whole Gestación con Amor team were there to guide and support us from beginning to end. It is a process full of emotions, a roller coaster with beautiful moments and some not so beautiful ones, but the balance is clearly positive and the result is unbeatable: two babies who are the best thing that has ever happened to us.”
“We fully recommend the work of Gisell and her team: they guide every step of the process and make sure someone from the agency always comes along to every appointment with doctors or authorities. Very clear and honest with the accounts. We are so grateful!”
“The arrival of our baby girl is a miracle from God, and in that miracle God used people with great purpose, like Gestación con Amor. Everyone who was in touch with us gave us nothing but support and love; that is what matters most. Our surrogate could not have been better: she was perfect.”
“I have no words to thank this agency for everything it has done for me. Everything was easy, smooth, very human and ethical. I would do it again without a doubt.”

Questions from intended parents
Everything people usually ask us before starting.
Ask another questionWhat is an intended parent?
The person or couple who wants to have a child through surrogacy and who will be the child's parent. It is often shortened to IP.
Who can do surrogacy in Colombia?
Heterosexual couples, same-sex male couples, single men and single women, living in Colombia or abroad. In the first consultation we review the medical and legal conditions of your case.
Is surrogacy legal in Colombia?
There is no law in Colombia that prohibits it. The Constitutional Court has recognized it in several rulings since 2009 and has urged Congress to regulate it; bills are under debate. That is why we work with partner lawyers and clear contracts for everyone involved.
Do I need to live in Colombia?
No. We support families who live in other countries, with a host, transfers, accommodation and a platform to follow the pregnancy from afar.

Can I meet the surrogate before we start?
Yes. You meet in person or virtually before moving forward.

Which fertility clinic performs the treatment?
We work with partner clinics in Colombia: Grupo Inser, Celagem, Fertivida, US Colombia Fertility Center and Lucena Cecolfes.

Our partner clinics have egg donation programs. The right treatment for your case is defined by the specialist at the medical consultation.
Can I bring my embryos from another country?

On our private platform you see week-by-week updates, ultrasounds, heartbeat recordings and appointments, and you can message the team.

Our team goes with her in person to appointments, tests and important events during and after the process.
