About The Surrogacy Process
The surrogacy process begins after you fill out the form on our website. Once we receive it, we reach out to you with potential times to meet or call to get to know you better and get your questions answered.
Once you decide to partner with us, we have you fill out a proper application to get more information on your living situation, income, and background. Background checks are always required by both intended parents and surrogates for the safety of the unborn child.
When your application is approved, we can partner you with a surrogate! We have a roster of women who are physically and mentally able and excited to help you bring a child into the world.
You meet with your chosen surrogate to talk and get a feel for their vibe before officially deciding. The bond between surrogate and parents is very special, and we cherish making perfect matches.
We also keep in mind that appearance is not taken into consideration when choosing a surrogate. Because the embryo is composed solely of the egg and the sperm, which will both be either donated by donors or collected from intended parents, the surrogate has no biological connection to the baby. There is no genetic link, and the baby will not inherit any genes or likeness from her.
The pairing is then solidified at the contract signing. Both parties have lawyers to draft, negotiate, and witness the signing to secure equal representation. Everyone involved is thoroughly educated on what the contract consists of so each person knows their responsibilities and benefits before signing.
At this point, the surrogate begins taking her hormone injections. These are self-administered in her own home and they prepare her body to become pregnant. For intended parents, this just means an approximate two-week wait.
The embryo transfer procedure is next, where the embryo (the egg fertilized by sperm) is transferred into the surrogate’s womb. After the procedure, she waits two weeks to take a pregnancy test. If she is not pregnant, the surrogate and intended parents have the option to try again. This is common and frequently results in success.
If she is pregnant, the next step is nine amazing months of growth and love!
Throughout the following nine months, your Los Angeles Surrogacy case manager coordinates with both the surrogate’s and the intended parents’ schedules to put medical check-ups and meet-ups to celebrate milestones together on the calendar.
As delivery day gets closer, both parties will sign a pre-birth order which declares the intended parents as the legal parents, allowing them to make medical decisions for the child immediately upon birth and also creates zero complications when they are cleared by medical professionals to take their baby home. Though this paperwork must be signed near the end of the journey, the surrogate is under legal obligation to sign it due to her contract that she signed at the start.
At the end of the journey, your baby is born and the rest of your life together begins.
The majority of surrogates and parents become friends for life.
How Much Does Surrogacy in Tracy Cost?
For intended parents, surrogacy in California costs anywhere between $150,000-$250,000.
Here is what you’re paying for:
- Surrogate Compensation
Because your surrogate partner will endure hormone fluctuations, bodily changes, and regulated dietary/exercise regimens during her pregnancy, she is compensated for her contribution. She provides a safe and healthy place for your baby to grow, and the exchange for that is payment.
Surrogate payment starts at $30,000 and can go up from there for factors including but not limited to having prior experience being a surrogate, carrying twins or triplets, and needing a C-section.
Intended parents will also reimburse surrogates for certain expenses laid out in their contracts. These expenses include:
- Maternity clothing
- Pumps
- Maternity vitamins
- Travel expenses
Intended parents also cover the surrogate’s legal and medical fees.
- Legal Fees
California law requires intended parents and surrogates to be represented by two different parties. This ensures fair and equal representation in a court of law.
Lawyers are needed to draft, negotiate, and witness the signing of contracts. You can, of course, contact them at any point if necessary.
- Medical Fees
Intended parents will cover surrogacy-friendly insurance if the surrogate does not have it already. This insurance is the most cost-effective way to handle the bulk of the medical fees.
Intended parents must pay for hormone injections, the embryo transfer procedure, pregnancy test, check-up appointments (with insurance is either just a co-pay or completely covered), and the hospital bill for delivery day.
- The Agency Fee
Your Los Angeles Surrogacy case manager conducts a thorough pre-screening process of all surrogates to ensure they are physically and emotionally capable of carrying a child. They will interview you and match you up with a surrogate who fits your wants and needs. They coordinate between you both and schedule meetings and check-up appointments that fit both of your calendars. They act as a mediator for communication (if wanted), and they are right at your side if there are any obstacles in the road.
- Miscellaneous
International parents should take note that travel and accommodations are not included in this initial price.
Overall, it costs between $150,000-$250,000 for individuals or couples looking to pursue parenthood via surrogacy. Los Angeles Surrogacy provides different routes to pay. Please contact us to discuss which payment plan is right for you.
