Gestational Surrogacy Fees for Intended Parents:
Surrogacy in the United States is typically broken down into several different fees; however, the average “all in” cost on the agency side (including all fees except IVF clinic costs and newborn insurance for international clients) averages somewhere between $95,000 – $150,000.
The biggest cost difference usually depends on
1.) Where the surrogate is located,
2.) If she is a first-time or previous surrogate, and
3.) What type of insurance coverage she will need.
This fee covers:
- Agency Fee and Retainer
