Estimated Cost of Surrogacy

The cost of each surrogacy journey will vary. There are many factors that will be taken into consideration when determining surrogacy compensation. For example, experienced surrogates will receive higher compensation than first-time surrogates. The total cost that Intended Parents should estimate for a surrogacy is $80,000 to $100,000, and can be higher. Our Specialists are available and dedicated to reviewing all of the surrogacy fees with you so that you are fully prepared for your journey.
