Surrogacy
Surrogacy Houston: A Compassionate and Cost-Effective Alternative with Dr. Mario Vega at Panama Fertility
For many hopeful parents in Houston, surrogacy offers a pathway to parenthood when traditional fertility treatments are not possible. Whether due to medical reasons, same-sex parenting, or recurrent IVF failure, gestational surrogacy allows intended parents to build their families with the help of a trusted third party.
But in the U.S., and particularly in Texas, surrogacy can come with high costs, complex legal frameworks, and long waiting periods. That’s why more patients are turning to Panama Fertility, where Dr. Mario Vega leads one of the region’s most respected and ethical international surrogacy programs.
What Is Gestational Surrogacy?
In gestational surrogacy, an embryo created through IVF — using the eggs and sperm of the intended parents or donors — is transferred into the uterus of a gestational carrier. The carrier has no genetic link to the child, and her role is to carry the pregnancy to term on behalf of the intended parent(s).
Surrogacy is often the best (or only) option for:
- Women with medical conditions that make pregnancy unsafe
- Intended mothers who have undergone hysterectomy
- Patients with repeated IVF failure or recurrent miscarriage
- Same-sex male couples
Single men who wish to have a biological child
Challenges of Surrogacy in Houston
While surrogacy is legal in Texas, many intended parents face several barriers:
- Extremely high costs: Total surrogacy expenses in Houston often exceed $100,000–$150,000
- Limited access to qualified gestational carriers
- Complex coordination between agencies, clinics, and legal teams
- Emotional and logistical stress from fragmented systems
- Lengthy wait times, especially for LGBTQ+ families or single parents
At Panama Fertility, we’ve created a comprehensive program that overcomes these barriers — providing a safe, streamlined, and ethical alternative for Houston families.
