In the last decade, the desire to start a family no longer fits exclusively into traditional molds. More and more single women are deciding to take control of their motherhood without waiting for a partner. For them, surrogacy represents an ethical, safe, and legal path to motherhood. However, this path, although possible, is not without legal, emotional, and logistical complexities.
A current context that favors female autonomy
Single motherhood is no longer taboo. According to data from Eurostat and international demographic organizations, the number of women choosing to become mothers without a partner has doubled in the last 10 years. There are many reasons for this: financial stability, emotional independence, lack of a suitable partner, or simply the desire to fulfill their dream without further delay.
Surrogacy is one of the most realistic alternatives when there are medical impediments to pregnancy or when women wish to avoid the risks associated with pregnancy at an advanced age.
What does the process involve for a single woman?
Although the goal is clear—to have a child—the journey involves a series of important decisions:
Choosing the country and clinic: not all destinations accept single women as intended mothers. Regulations can be restrictive or ambiguous. Discover our list of permitted countries
Selecting an egg donor (if necessary): if the woman cannot use her own eggs, it will be necessary to find an anonymous and compatible donor.
Meeting the surrogate: the relationship with the woman who will carry the baby must be mediated by respect, legal protection, and emotional support.
Legal filiation procedures: from the recognition of maternity to obtaining the baby's passport, every step must be documented and supported by specialized lawyers.
All this, without considering the emotional component involved in entrusting the dream of a lifetime to another woman.
