Frequently asked questions
An intended parent checklist helps you assess your readiness for surrogacy. It covers your budget, timeline, expectations, and support system.
Consider your budget, timeline, emotional readiness, support system, and understanding of the medical, legal, and financial process. Our checklist helps you identify what is in place and what still needs attention.
Beyond budget, consider your timeline, the type of surrogacy arrangement you want, and whether you plan to work independently or with an agency.
Yes. In most U.S. surrogacy arrangements, the intended parents and surrogate each have their own independent attorney. They handle the surrogacy agreement and legal steps to establish parentage. Legal fees for both sides typically total $4,000–$16,000, depending on location and the arrangement.
