Expenses Associated with

Surrogacy

Expenses & Value

Surrogacy is often considered costly, and it is important to understand why it has this reputation and what exactly you are paying for as an intended parent.

Firstly and probably most obviously, the compensation of the surrogate is the first fee set. This includes the base fee and reimbursement for any pregnancy-related expenses, frequently including travel costs for appointments/meet-ups if closer to the intended parents’ location, and maternity clothing.
Intended parents may also be required to pay medical expenses if the surrogate mother is in need of medical attention throughout the pregnancy. These expenses also include the fertility appointment(s), prenatal and postnatal care, and the cost of the delivery itself. Legal expenses are also covered by the intended parents, and ensure that all parties’ rights are agreed upon and protected.

Is It More Affordable to Find Your Own Surrogate?

Though it may save you money upfront to pursue surrogacy independently with a friend or family member who has agreed to be your surrogate, it may cost you in the long run if you are not working with an experienced team.

Legal fees and medical fees can add up, especially if they are not agreed upon ahead of time. The invaluable packages offered by surrogacy agencies, such as Los Angeles Surrogacy, provide the most cost-efficient route to a successful surrogacy journey.

You can choose your own surrogate and also go through Los Angeles Surrogacy. Though this may not save you money, it will certainly shorten the preliminary steps of the surrogacy journey.

Surrogacy With One’s Own Egg

This journey offers the unique ability to be biologically connected to your child.

This type of surrogacy is called gestational surrogacy, which is distinctly different from the method of using the surrogate’s egg rather than the intended mother’s in traditional surrogacy.
At the end of the surrogacy journey, when a couple who once thought they could or would never conceive get to go home with their miracle baby, it can be said that the exchange of joy and fulfillment of parenthood is worth far more than money.

At Los Angeles Surrogacy, we pride ourselves in being one of the most experienced agencies specializing in international surrogacy.
