In Colombia, surrogates undergo rigorous screening, including psychological and physical evaluations, ensuring they are young and have previously birthed a healthy child. Following screening, a detailed contract is signed by both parties, outlining all terms and conditions with mutual consent.

Under Colombian law, the woman who gives birth is considered the mother and is listed on the baby’s birth certificate along with one intended father. The child’s surname is a combination of the surrogate’s and intended father’s surnames initially. Additionally, post-birth DNA tests may be necessary to establish genetic parentage.
Legal framework in Colombia ensures equality and non-discrimination in surrogacy. The National Constitution guarantees the same rights and duties to all children, regardless of birth circumstances. Surrogacy is recognized within the legal system, with no explicit prohibition, and all individuals, including singles, heterosexual, and same-sex couples, can participate as long as there is a genetic link with the child. This inclusivity was affirmed by the Colombian Constitutional Court, which ruled against discrimination based on sexual orientation in adoption. Foreigners enjoy the same civil rights and guarantees, extending to participation in international surrogacy.
