Here’s What You Need to Know about Surrogacy in Colombia.
When considering surrogacy in Colombia, it’s normal to ask: Is Bogotá safe?
The short answer: Yes, with common sense and local guidance, most people feel very safe—including me. My husband and I have two children born via surrogacy in Bogotá, and we’ve worked closely with dozens of intended parents, including doctors, who traveled there and returned home safely with their babies.
Still, safety is personal. And this blog will help you understand what to expect and how to plan wisely.
Safety Is Personal
Safety means different things to different people. Some feel uneasy walking alone in any big city. Others are comfortable traveling abroad as long as they’re informed.
The key question is this:
What is your personal level of risk tolerance?
In fact, it’s one of the first questions we encourage in the Surrogacy Guide: Baby or Not, Here We Grow, where I share my story as an American dad who built his family in Colombia.
Headlines vs. Real Life
Yes, recent news reports have raised concerns about political unrest, rural crime, and protests. But here’s the truth:
- Protests happen in every democracy, including the U.S.
- Gang-related violence is typically regional—not near fertility clinics or major hospitals.
- Political tensions are part of any evolving society.
These issues are real, but so is the progress. Bogotá has made huge strides. It remains one of the most progressive, inclusive, and medically advanced cities in Latin America.
