What factors does the cost of surrogacy depend on?
After reading the above introduction, I guess many people are a little puzzled why the price of surrogacy varies so much, in fact, it mainly depends on the medical cost, the cost of living in the country, the physical condition, the following briefly share with you.
1. Consumption levels in the surrogate country
This greatly level affects the cost of surrogate mothers, for example, the United States can get about $70,000 in hand, probably the highest income in the world at the moment, in the domestic underground surrogacy agencies, surrogate mothers should be around $30,000 in income. Surrogate mother costs in Ukraine were also around $40,000 before, so the high level of consumption in a country directly affects the price of surrogacy.
2. Medical expenses
Countries with good medical technology are naturally expensive, such as the United States, which is often touted as the best medical organization in the world and is sought after by everyone, and is naturally expensive. Countries like Kazakhstan and Georgia, on the other hand, have a slightly lower level of medical care and their costs are cheap. Currently the cost of IVF in the U.S. is around $20,000-$45,000, and other countries may come down as low as $5,000.
3. Physical condition of surrogate mothers
In commercial surrogacy, a surrogate mother's physical condition, age, etc. also affects the surrogate payment she receives. For example, a surrogate mother who has had a baby, is young, beautiful and in good health will usually have to pay more than a regular surrogate, and even more if she is carrying a dragon and phoenix child or twins.
4. Physical condition of the client
There are thousands of families who have a need for surrogacy, and each couple has a different health condition, some women need egg donors, some men are not in good health, and some just want twins, and all of these special circumstances will incur a corresponding cost, so the surrogacy agency quotes a different price to each couple for this very reason.
5. Surrogate agency services
Surrogacy is the only way to get a baby for many families, so they are very careful in the selection of the agency, and we all hope that the agency will do a good job in every part of the service, but there is a saying:You get what you pay for, and it's only natural that an organization with good service will have a high service feeSo, you can just choose the right surrogacy agency according to your own conditions.
In this article, we have discussed the cost of surrogacy in several countries and also briefly introduced the current policies, while explaining to you why surrogacy costs are different in each country. We hope it will be helpful to those families who are still choosing surrogacy countries and agencies, above, and you can consult the webmaster if you have any questions and suggestions.
