Understanding Costs
For those considering surrogacy or egg donation to grow their family, cost is usually a major factor when making their decision. While an independent surrogacy journey is an option that may cost less, managing all of the moving parts can be very time consuming and stressful, as well as cause delays or even money lost if a detail is missed. A trustworthy agency will decrease the stress of the surrogacy and/or egg donation process by being your central knowledge base and constant support system throughout your journey. Agency fees cover the management of your entire journey, from screening and finding your surrogate/egg donor match to helping you navigate legal contracts, insurance, financials, and everything in between.
Gestational surrogacy involves many professionals that have the knowledge and expertise needed to help you manage your journey from start to finish. Understanding the detailed steps that go into the surrogacy process will in turn help in understanding why surrogacy can be so expensive.
Cost Estimate for Surrogacy
Please note, total costs will vary with every surrogacy. The estimated range has to do with factors that include your surrogate’s location, your location, insurance coverage, the medical clinic you choose, and type of birth. Because First Step hand-selects surrogates based on your preferences and needs, we can tailor your surrogate match to help meet your budget.
