Understanding Surrogacy

Get comprehensive information about surrogacy, costs, timelines, and processes

A family-building option where a woman, called a surrogate, carries and delivers a baby for intended parents who are unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy.

The surrogacy process:

  • Medical evaluations and psychological screening: following ASRM guidelines
  • Legal contracts: outlining responsibilities and compensation
  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedures: for embryo transfer
  • Regular prenatal care: until delivery

Surrogacy provides a pathway to biological parenthood when pregnancy is not possible or medically safe.

People turn to surrogacy for many personal and medical reasons:

  • Medical conditions: Uterine abnormalities, hysterectomy, high-risk pregnancies, or repeated IVF failures
  • LGBTQ+ families: Gay couples or individuals who require a gestational carrier
  • Single parents: Men who want biological children or women unable to carry a pregnancy
  • International restrictions: Families from countries where surrogacy is limited or banned
  • Career considerations: Situations where pregnancy may be risky or impractical

In the U.S., the cost of surrogacy ranges from $100,000 to $200,000, depending on location and type of arrangement.

Breakdown of costs:

Surrogate Compensation$30,000-$50,000

Base compensation, excluding additional fees

Medical Expenses$20,000-$50,000

IVF, embryo transfer, and prenatal care

Legal Fees$5,000-$15,000

Agency or Platform FeesVaries

MiscellaneousVaries

Travel, insurance, and unexpected medical costs

There are six main types of surrogacy arrangements:

  • Gestational surrogacy: Embryo created from intended parents' or donors' genetic material
  • Traditional surrogacy: Surrogate uses her own egg
  • Agency surrogacy: Full-service agencies coordinate the process
  • Independent surrogacy: Direct arrangement between parents and surrogate
  • Altruistic surrogacy: No payment beyond medical expenses
  • Commercial surrogacy: Surrogate receives compensation

On average, surrogacy takes 15-24 months from matching to birth.

Matching phase1-6 months

to find and confirm a match

Legal and medical preparation2-4 months

for contracts, screening, and IVF preparation

IVF and embryo transfer1-3 months

may require multiple attempts

Pregnancy9 months

from successful implantation

Legal finalization1-3 months

post-birth for final documentation

Timeframes vary based on medical factors, location, and whether an agency or independent route is used.

In Canada, altruistic surrogacy is legal under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act. Commercial surrogacy (payment beyond expenses) is prohibited.

Permitted reimbursements include:

  • Medical costs and insurance
  • Legal and counseling fees
  • Travel and accommodation
  • Lost wages with documentation
  • Maternity clothing and supplements

Consult a lawyer familiar with Canadian reproductive law for specific guidance.

No, many intended parents and surrogates choose independent/private surrogacy, while others prefer the full-service support agencies provide.

Agency-assisted surrogacy:

  • Screening and matching
  • Professional coordination
  • Established legal/medical networks
  • Ongoing support

Private surrogacy:

  • Lower costs (no agency fees)
  • Direct communication
  • Greater control and flexibility

Surrogacy laws vary significantly by state in the United States, with different regulations and restrictions across jurisdictions.

  • Surrogacy-Friendly States: California, Texas, and New York have clear laws that allow gestational surrogacy with enforceable contracts
  • Prohibited or highly restricted states: Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Arizona, and Washington, D.C. ban paid surrogacy and may void surrogacy contracts
  • Mixed or limited states: Most states fall into this category, where surrogacy is allowed but with certain conditions, such as requiring post-birth adoption or limiting contract enforceability

Always consult a reproductive law attorney in your state before beginning the process.
