Understanding Surrogacy Costs

​

When a couple chooses to build their family through gestational surrogacy, many considerations have to be made including the cost of their surrogacy journey. Giving Tree Surrogacy offers competitive pricing options for Intended Parents pursuing gestational surrogacy, giving you the flexibility to choose the options that best fit your needs.

​

The estimated cost includes surrogate's compensation and benefits, screening costs (non-medical), legal costs, agency fee, and escrow management fee.

​

Other variables include the surrogate’s base compensation (1st time or experienced) and if an egg donor is needed. Other variables not included in this would be in vitro fertilization (IVF) costs and newborn medical costs.  To learn more about our surrogacy package options, contact us.
