Surrogacy is now a common option for building a family for individuals and couples.
Surrogate costs vary situationally and from Surrogate-to-Surrogate, so it is almost impossible to predict the exact fees that Intended Parent(s) will incur or that Surrogates will collect. However, some general factors should be considered when planning for the cost of a Surrogacy Arrangement.
- Surrogate Compensation
- Medical, Food & Cost of Comfort
- Costs of Clothing & Amenities
- Legal and Escrow Fees
The primary consideration is the compensation received by the Surrogate. This compensation varies greatly from person to person and by location. General compensation of $25,000 to $65,000 should be expected and some women receive less and some receive more. The exact compensation depends on the type of arrangement and if there is an agency involved that sets limits on this compensation. As a Surrogate becomes experienced, her compensation generally increases. Surrogates that carry multiples received additional compensation of $5,000 for each fetus.
