HOW MUCH SURROGACY COST USING A FAMILY MEMBER?

Surrogacy cost using a family member will be around 30% less as compared to paid gestational surrogate mother.

Becoming parents via Surrogacy is not an easy option. It is a challenging task with lots of financial and emotional enterprise. Once parents are emotionally ready to start the surrogacy journey, the biggest question for intended parents is to understand how much does a surrogacy cost using a family member or without a family member?

Gestational Surrogacy is an expensive process and actual surrogacy costs vary cases to case and region wise. While it is a costly process, the expenses can be reduced to some extent with few advance planning.

For example, if you have a friend or a family member who is ready to be your surrogate, then you would save the cost of surrogate compensation. In the USA, the surrogate compensation cost goes up to $30,000 to $50,000 and approximate 30% of total surrogacy costs.



Similarly, if you have undergone the surrogacy process before, so you might be willing to go independent or private surrogacy for 2nd time. That would save the cost of a surrogacy agency, which might go up to $35,000 or more.

So, private surrogacy costs will be lower if you use your own surrogate mother.

For these reasons, the parents who have a known surrogate mother can find it a bit easy to do a surrogacy process due to no surrogacy compensation cost and more emotional bonding with the gestational carrier. But still, there are many things to know and follow before you proceed with an identified surrogate.

Conclusion

Being a surrogate for a friend is a kind gesture and can financially and emotionally help childless couples.

So, we can clearly see that having a friend or relative as a friend can help save a lot of money for the intended parents.  On top of that, if you handle yourself, private surrogacy costs will much lower.

As we see in the USA the cost of surrogate compensation is much higher as compared to other countries.  So, identified surrogate as this will reduce the cost significantly.

What if you do not have a known surrogate mother and at the same time cannot afford high surrogacy costs?

For such couples, the option of international surrogacy is there.  East European countries like Ukraine and Georgia, offer affordable yet legally secure surrogacy in a fraction of surrogacy cost in the USA.
