Surrogacy Estimated Costs
At CSED, we understand that surrogacy is a very expensive process. We have designed our
fee structure to be as straightforward and transparent as possible.
Of course, every situation is different and the overall costs will vary depending on whether
you live in the U.S or are international, whether you need the services of an egg donor or
sperm donor, which IVF Clinic you choose to work with, etc.
While the costs of surrogacy vary depending on the specific
services needed by the intended parents, these costs tend to fall
within the range of $150,000 - $200,000. This figure is made up of
the following categories:
- Asssted Reproductive Technology & Medical Expenses at the IVF Clinic
- Agency Fees
- Legal Fees
- Insurance Premiums & Deductibles
- Escrow Magement Fees
- Surrogate Base Compensation & Fees
We will take the time during the initial consult to review the fees and estimated expenses in detail so that there are no surprises during the process but you may review our current estimated expenses below.
