Our Clear Fee Structure

American Surrogacy costs depend on which program you choose but typically range from $100,000 to $200,000+. We've designed 3 programs to help families who have a surrogate or need help finding a surrogate become parents faster.

1. Independent Program: Designed for families who have a surrogate or plan to find one on their own.
2. Foundation Program: A full-service program with a pay-as-you-go fee structure similar to how most agencies charge fees.
3. Limited Risk Program: Our second full-service program with financial protection that avoids repaying many fees if something doesn't work out and makes budgeting more predictable.

We don’t hide any fees, so you can start your surrogacy journey with financial clarity.

Parent Protection Fee

This fee is included in our costs for surrogacy in Delaware, but you may have questions about what it means. We want you to have peace of mind and financial security as you go through your surrogacy journey. Our Parent Protection Fee can help protect you from variable costs associated with the surrogacy process. This includes:

• Unlimited matching for as many embryo transfers as needed.

• If you have no embryos remaining and a baby was not born, we will provide a full refund of the following fees:

  • Marketing/advertising fee, match fee, intended parent legal fee, insurance fee and management, any unused portion of the surrogate compensation

• Fixes many of the variations possible with surrogacy costs, allowing you to better budget.

Variable Costs of Surrogacy in Delaware

We want to be as transparent with you as possible. And while we include as much as we can in our clear fee structure, there are a few things that we cannot determine, which will come up in variable surrogacy costs in Delaware. Variable costs may include:

• IVF and Surrogate Medical Screening Fees: All IVF clinics have their own standards and practices. Due to this, our fee structure does not include IVF fees since they are determined by each fertility clinic and practitioner. Additionally, variable costs not included in our program estimates include any surrogate medical screening.

• Newborn Expenses: Generally the intended parents’ health insurance will cover newborn expenses. Talk with your employer or your insurance carrier to determine how and when to add your child to your insurance plan.

• Outside Monitoring: This includes medical appointments and screenings for things like ultrasounds and blood work at a fertility clinic near the surrogate.

• Intended Parent Travel: If you want to travel to and from appointments with your surrogate, those costs will be up to you.

• Surrogate Breast Milk: If you would like your child to have breast milk and your surrogate agrees, an additional fee will be incurred to complete the process.

Since these fees are not covered by our services, it’s important to think ahead about how you might handle them. Your surrogacy specialist can also help you figure out these costs ahead of time.
