American Surrogacy’s Fees
There are so many factors to include in the surrogacy experience that it can sometimes feel overwhelming. We want you to be confident in the surrogacy process.
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.
- Independent Program: Designed for families who have a surrogate or plan to find one on their own.
- Foundation Program: A full-service program with a pay-as-you-go fee structure similar to how most agencies charge fees.
- 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.
Calculating Overall Surrogacy Costs in Idaho
There are many factors to include when you’re looking into the costs of surrogacy in Idaho. It’s important to understand what you are paying for and why, so we’ve laid out details you may or may not already know about the costs.
Agency Fees
When you begin working with an agency like us, Idaho’s surrogacy cost breakdown should be better explained. Your surrogacy has fees that include background checks, screenings of both surrogates and intended parents, marketing, and more.
Matching Services
You will be matched with a surrogate through our advertising services. Once you have your initial contact and decide you are both ready to continue into surrogacy together, you will be officially matched and be able to move forward in the process. The matching services also include background checks for both intended parents and the surrogate, past-pregnancy medical review, psychological evaluations and in-home assessments (case-by-case). We want to ensure all parties are ready for the surrogacy experience. Finding your perfect match is integral to a positive surrogacy experience.
Surrogate Compensation and Reimbursement
Your surrogate’s compensation is something many people think of when they consider the breakdown of surrogacy costs in Idaho. Your surrogate’s compensation may depend on several factors, including her experience, insurance coverage and more. She will receive a base compensation for her service as a surrogate and then a monthly allowance to cover expenses such as co-pays and other costs associated with pregnancy. There will also be supplemental payments for maternity clothing, lost wages, invasive procedures and more.
Legal Services
Every surrogacy involves legal contracts to outline the risks and responsibilities associated with surrogacy. As the intended parents, you will be required to pay for your surrogacy attorney along with the surrogates. This is an important piece of the Idaho surrogacy costs, as this is how many courts will recognize your surrogacy experience and allow you to file a parentage order.
Counseling, Education and Support
We want you to feel good about the surrogacy process. Our surrogacy specialists are here to help you navigate and understand the process. Counseling services can be very helpful to you and your family members who want to process how they are feeling or obtain a better understanding of how the experience will go. These emotions and needed support may come up before, during or even after surrogacy.
We include the costs listed above, including a parent protection fee. This fee is included to offer you peace of mind and financial security. It includes unlimited matching for as many embryo transfers as are needed, as well as a refund of certain fees if no baby is born.
You should spend your time focusing on the family you are about to have rather than worrying about surprise expenses. Get started on your journey to parenthood today. Fill out our quick form and a specialist will be in touch to help you get started.
