Cost of US Surrogacy

Learn about the cost of US surrogacy before starting your journey

The United States is the most experienced country at handling surrogacy arrangements. As a result, moving forward with surrogacy in America gives you many benefits and legal advantages, which all factor into the cost of US surrogacy. To help you budget for your family-building journey, our Las Vegas surrogacy experts explain the costs of gestational surrogacy.

The price of surrogacy in America can vary

When it comes to surrogacy, each family has a unique set of goals and needs. As such, the price of surrogacy will vary depending on several factors

  • Whether you will need to pay travel expenses
  • The fees at the surrogacy agency that you select
  • Whether you decide to use egg or sperm donation
  • The number of IVF cycles it takes for your surrogate to conceive
  • Whether you decide to use additional laboratory techniques like PGT

Overall, the cost of US surrogacy generally falls between $90,000 and $150,000. This is the cost after considering agency fees, surrogate compensation, legal fees, medical costs and additional expenses.

Before moving forward with this family-building option, our Las Vegas surrogacy experts recommend that you consider the state where you would like to pursue surrogacy. For example, selecting surrogacy from a popular state like California could result in paying around $5,000 more for surrogate compensation. Not only that, the state you select can also influence the cost of the agency, legal and medical fees.

More details about the cost of US surrogacy

The grand total of surrogacy in the United States includes many factors. One of the biggest is surrogate compensation. Starting around $35,000, this amount varies depending on where your surrogate lives and whether she is experienced (has already had a surrogate pregnancy).

The cost of medical treatments, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), also plays a role. You may pay around $30,000 for fertility medications, procedures, laboratory fees and tests, and the doctor’s time. Because unexpected medical expenses can occur, you should also set aside extra funds.

The fee for your chosen surrogacy agency is another variable in the cost of US surrogacy. The offerings at each agency can vary, which can influence the price. As a result, you should ask questions before selecting an agency. For example, you’ll want to know whether an agency handles screenings and background checks on its surrogates.

Finally, legal fees, surrogate medical insurance and miscellaneous costs all come into play. Legal fees cover important services, including drafting the surrogacy agreement and establishing legal parentage. While insurance coverage will pay for your surrogate’s medical care, miscellaneous costs can include anything from maternity clothing, to compensation for lost wages.
