Surrogacy is a life-changing decision—and with that comes a lot of questions.
At Stork Baby, one of the most common things we hear is:
“How much does surrogacy really cost?”
Let’s break it down clearly and simply.
💸 What Does Surrogacy Cost?
On average, surrogacy ranges from $90,000 to $150,000, depending on factors like location, surrogate experience, and IVF success. Here’s what goes into that cost:
- Surrogate Compensation: $40,000–$70,000
- Agency Fees: Matching, case management, emotional support
- Medical Costs: IVF, embryo transfer, prenatal care, delivery
- Legal Fees: Contract drafting, parentage orders, legal support
- Insurance: Coverage for the surrogate throughout pregnancy
🧾 Are There Financing Options?
Yes! Some families use:
- Surrogacy-specific loans or grants
- Flexible payment plans
- Personal savings or family contributions
We offer financial guidance to help you explore your options.
🤝 Do Surrogates Get a Say in Who They Work With?
Absolutely. At Stork Baby, matching is a mutual process. Surrogates and intended parents both review profiles and must agree to move forward before a match is made.
⏳ How Long Does Surrogacy Take?
A typical surrogacy journey takes 12–18 months from start to delivery.
Breakdown:
- 1–3 months: Matching
- 2–3 months: Medical and legal clearances
- 1–2 months: Embryo transfer
- 9 months: Pregnancy
Note: If additional embryo transfers are needed, that can add time.
