When prospective parents, often called \u201cIntended Parents\u201d or \u201cIPs\u201d, begin researching surrogacy cost, it can be a daunting and confusing process especially when it comes to understanding all the potential expenses involved with assisted reproduction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The following guide is a broad overview of some of the surrogacy costs<\/a> that can be expected. With the exception of agency fees which are not paid when matches are done directly (e.g. through Surrogacyplace.com<\/a> which is a self-matching<\/a> site not an agency), most costs related to surrogacy are hard costs and are not optional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s also worth mentioning that Independent journeys done without agencies can also be faster in terms of matching\/availability of potential surrogates. People with means may find the concierge level of service an agency provides helpful, but it is also very possible, and in many cases preferred, to undergo a fully independent journey<\/a>. Many surrogates prefer independent journeys<\/a> as well, especially experienced well-qualified surrogates who know what they\u2019re looking for and what requirements<\/a> they want on their end. Many surrogates would rather the Intended Parents\u2019 surrogacy budget go towards them and not siphoned off by expensive agency fees.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
