Surrogacy Bahamas: What Are Your Real Options — And Why Panama Fertility May Be the Answer

Struggling to grow your family? Considering surrogacy in the Bahamas? You’re not alone — but you may be facing limited choices.

In the Caribbean, surrogacy remains a sensitive and complex subject. While the desire for parenthood is universal, the legal, medical, and emotional framework for surrogacy in the Bahamas is still developing, and many hopeful parents are left with more questions than answers.

The good news?
There is a safe, ethical, and internationally respected alternative — Panama Fertility.

Here’s everything you need to know about surrogacy in the Bahamas, your options abroad, and how we help families achieve their dreams with confidence, compassion, and clarity.

Is Surrogacy Legal in the Bahamas?

As of today, there is no established legal framework for surrogacy in the Bahamas.

  • There are no clear laws regulating the rights of intended parents or surrogates

  • Courts may not automatically recognize parentage in surrogate births

  • This legal gray area creates uncertainty and risk for both parties

  • Contracts may not be enforceable under Bahamian law

That’s why most Bahamian families turn to international clinics, like Panama Fertility, where surrogacy is legally supported and carefully regulated.

Who Should Consider Surrogacy?

Surrogacy may be the best option for:

  • Women with uterine conditions (congenital, post-surgical, or absent uterus)

  • Patients with repeated IVF failures or recurrent miscarriage

  • Women who cannot carry a pregnancy due to medical risks

  • LGBTQ+ couples, especially male same-sex couples

  • Single men wishing to become fathers

We’ll help you explore every option — and guide you through the surrogacy journey with clarity and confidence.

How Surrogacy Works at Panama Fertility

  1. Initial Consultation (Virtual or In-Person)
    Meet with our medical and legal team to understand the process, requirements, and timeline.

  2. Medical Evaluation of Intended Parents
    Includes semen analysis, medical clearance, and any lab work needed.

  3. Embryo Creation via IVF
    Eggs and sperm (from the intended parents or donors) are used to create embryos in our lab.

  4. Surrogate Matching and Legal Contracts
    We carefully select and match you with a healthy surrogate, then handle legal agreements.

  5. Embryo Transfer and Pregnancy Monitoring
    The embryo is transferred to the surrogate, and our clinic monitors the pregnancy closely.

  6. Delivery and Legal Parentage
    You’re there for the birth, and legal documentation transfers custody and parenthood to you.

Total timeline: Usually 12–18 months, depending on embryo availability and transfer success.
