Traditional surrogacy (where the surrogate is the biological <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogate-mother\/\">mother<\/a> of the child(ren) she will be carrying) is inherently more complex psychologically and legally.

Only qualified medical and legal professionals can ensure you meet all obligations.

Abortion restrictions may cause a hospital\u2019s staff to wait until a woman is in the final stages of sepsis or cardiac arrest before intervening when there is less of a chance of disastrous outcomes. It remains legal to travel out of state for Reproductive healthcare, however. Intended Parents and surrogates should be on the same page with respect to termination.

Since self matching via a site like Surrogacy Place allows you to meet potentials directly, there\u2019s never a need to pay an agency tens of thousands (in some cases hundreds of thousands!) of dollars. In turn, eliminating an agency from the budget can result in surrogates receiving a higher base compensation since the bulk of an Intended Parent(s)\u2019 budget isn\u2019t being siphoned off by agency costs.<\/p>\r\n<p>There\u2019s also the freedom to choose a match that works for you with no pressure from an agency. Most agencies show 1-2 potential matches. Many who go independent explore a wide variety of potentials and are more confident in finding \u201cthe one.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-agency-alternatives\/\">Self-matching<\/a> via an independent journey can also shorten wait times significantly.<\/p>\r\n<p>When going through an agency or matching independently, you are always responsible for your own due diligence. Your attorney and a qualified Reproductive Endocrinologist are there as partners, however, so always approve your match with the assistance of professionals. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Many surrogates in West Virginia and throughout the country match independently. <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/independent-journeys\/\">Here\u2019s some of the reasons many prefer indy surrogacy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>As an Intended Parent, how much can you expect to pay?
