For a same-sex male couple or a single father, egg donation is one half of the journey. The other half is surrogacy, and the two have to be planned together: the donor's cycle, the clinic, the surrogate's location and the legal framework of the country where the baby will be born. Suma Fertility was built for exactly this coordination. Many of the families we work with are two fathers, and the questions they ask are the ones this guide answers.
01What we do for you, in one place
- The egg donor. A screened donor from Spain or Latin America, with a full profile (education, family history, interests, photos and the medical and genetic screening your clinic requires), who travels to your clinic for a fresh cycle. You choose from our private database or we run a personalised search.
- The surrogacy journey. Guidance by destination (United States, Canada, Mexico, Cyprus and Colombia), with trusted clinics and specialised attorneys, and help comparing the legal framework, costs and timelines of each one.
- Coordination between the two. The donor's cycle is timed with your clinic and your surrogacy plan, so that embryos are created where and when they are needed.
- Legal, travel and practical guidance. Contracts, insurance, travel planning and the logistics around them, with the support of trusted local professionals.
02Choosing the donor
Two fathers usually want two things from a donor profile: a clear picture of who she is, and the possibility of some contact in the future if the child asks. Both are possible. You will always receive the donor's essential profile information, with more on request where appropriate. The arrangement (known, semi-open or anonymous) depends on the law of the country where the cycle takes place and on what both parties agree, and we explain the options for your case.
Our donors are selected through a rigorous process: age 18 to 30, at least 1.65 m, healthy lifestyle, emotional stability and a complete medical, psychological and genetic evaluation. Read more about our European egg donors and Spanish and Latin egg donors.
03Choosing the surrogacy destination
Surrogacy regulations vary significantly between countries, and choosing the right destination is one of the most important decisions in creating a safe and successful journey. We help you identify the jurisdictions best suited to your goals, timeline and circumstances. The United States and Canada offer clear and supportive frameworks; Mexico, Cyprus and Colombia offer viable pathways in specific regions or under carefully structured arrangements. Our surrogacy page compares them.
04Guarantees and costs
Every agreement includes the Healthy Embryo Guarantee (a new cycle at no additional agency fee if no healthy embryo is achieved) and the Donor Replacement Guarantee (a new donor at no additional agency fee if yours cannot proceed for medical or legal reasons). You receive a clear financial structure from the outset: agency fee, donor compensation, travel expenses and third-party costs, with escrow available. The details are in our guarantees and in what egg donation costs with a traveling donor.
