Introduction
The traditional concept of family has evolved, and today there are multiple alternatives for a single man to become a father. Although he does not have a uterus and cannot gestate, he can access methods such as co-parenting, adoption, and surrogacy to form a family. These options reflect family diversity and new paths to solo fatherhood in Colombia and worldwide.
Co-Parenting as an Option for Single Men to Become Fathers
Co-parenting is an agreement between a man and a woman to have a child without a romantic relationship between them. Both share responsibilities and agree on aspects such as upbringing, support, and parental roles. This arrangement may include natural conception or the use of assisted reproductive techniques. However, it can be emotionally and legally complex, requiring clear agreements and good communication to avoid future conflicts.
Adoption for Single Men in Colombia
Single men in Colombia can access adoption by meeting certain requirements such as age, suitability, and legal conditions. Adoption is a stable and legal option for forming a family without a partner. International adoption is also possible, although it varies according to each country’s legislation. This process guarantees the rights of both the child and the adopter within a clear legal framework.
Surrogacy for Single Men
Surrogacy is a procedure in which a gestational woman carries the pregnancy for another person. For single men, it is an alternative to have a biological child when combined with in vitro fertilization (IVF) using donated eggs and the man’s own sperm. At Celagem, professional support is provided, understanding that surrogacy must be an ethical, legal, and safe process for everyone involved.
