Gay surrogacy. Parenthood beyond gender

The USA is the first country to start using surrogacy for infertility treatment, and one of the few states with loyal legislation in relation to the rights of LGBT people.

There are many agencies in the United States that are engaged in the selection of surrogate mothers specifically for homosexuals. Some clinics offer special programs for same-sex couples, which involve the transfer of two embryos at the same time, each of which has a chromosome set of one of the fathers. This means that sperm for fertilization are provided by both potential fathers.

Children can be carried by one or two surrogate mothers at the same time. This allows both partners to feel like a full-fledged member of the family, a dad, and have a genetically natural child.

If a homosexual couple decides on only one child, they will have to choose whose sex cells will be used for fertilization.
Surrogacy is a legally complex process that can become even more problematic when it comes to same-sex couples. The procedure for obtaining parental rights for a child will depend on the laws of the particular state.

Surrogacy in Kenya is not regulated by law, but it is widely used as a treatment for infertility. Kenyan culture does not accept LGBT people, prohibits same-sex marriage, and violation of the law in this area entails criminal responsibility. Kenyan surrogate mother services are affordable, making Kenya an inexpensive fertility treatment alternative for infertile couples around the world. But same-sex couples need to weigh the pros and cons well before choosing Kenya as a country to search for a surrogate mother.

Since 2002, only altruistic surrogacy has been allowed in Greece. In 2014, the government amended legislation to allow single women diagnosed with infertility to use surrogate services.
These changes made it possible for lesbian couples to use the services of Greek surrogate mothers.
Gays are still banned from taking part in surrogacy programs, but this may change in the next few years.
Since 2018, Greece has recognized same-sex civil marriages, so it is quite possible that the official conclusion of same-sex marriages will be legalized soon.

In Russia, the services of surrogate mothers can be used by both married couples and single people. This is a great loophole for homosexuals: you can take a friend with you who will agree to become the legal mother of the child. There is one important nuance: a woman must prove that she cannot bear and give birth to a child on her own.

Colombian laws regulating the rights of LGBT people are among the most progressive in the world. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Colombia since 2016. The government supports gay rights to offspring, and in 2015 allowed gay couples to adopt children.
Colombia does not have a law that regulates surrogacy, but the constitutional court has issued guidance on its use for the treatment of infertility.
