Common solutions and budget breakdowns for 8 types of people

1. 👫 Legally married heterosexual couples

United States of America Belarus Georgia (country) Kyrgyz Kazakhstan

CIS countries are more welcoming to married couples, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and mature processes; the United States, on the other hand, is more suitable for families seeking legal certainty and high-standard medical care.

Compliance notice: Usually, a marriage certificate and clear medical indications are required.

View couple surrogacy options

2. 👨 Single men

United States of America Kyrgyzstan Canadian Columbia (District of, or University etc)

The core of the single man route is not "whether it's possible," but rather whether egg matching, parentage planning, and the clarity of the postnatal documentation chain are. The United States is typically the most stable mainstream path.

Compliance Tips: Focus on verifying the consistency between egg donation, parentage documents, and return-to-China documents.

View Single Men's Options

3. 👬 Gay families

United States of America Canadian Columbia (District of, or University etc)

Gay men's families place greater emphasis on parental rights arrangements, parental information on birth certificates, and the overall legal framework. The United States has the most mature legal system and is better suited for long-term, stable planning.

Compliance Tip: In addition to matching eggs, it is also important to confirm the path to the parentage documents.

View gay family plans

4. 👩 Single women

United States of America Kyrgyzstan Canadian Columbia (District of, or University etc)

Single women are generally more likely to enter the assisted reproductive process, but whether or not a third party is needed for fertility depends on uterine condition, age, ovarian function, and the policies of their country.

Compliance Tip: It is necessary to assess the sperm source, parental consent documents, and local access rules simultaneously.

View Single Women's Options

5. 👭 Lesbian families

United States of America Canadian Columbia (District of, or University etc)

In addition to conventional methods, lesbian couples can also be evaluated for options such as RIVF (Rapid In Vitro Fertilization) and Co-IVF (Co-IVF), allowing both partners to be more deeply involved in the reproductive process and parental design.

Compliance tips: Focus on verifying the sperm bank's source, the rights of both mothers, and the design of the birth certificate.

View lesbian family plans

6. 🏥 Individuals living with HIV or other infectious diseases

United States of America

Priority should be given to centers with high-standard laboratories and collaborative capabilities with infectious disease departments, combining semen washing, sample testing, and compliance procedures; ordinary protocols cannot be directly applied.

Compliance Tip: Follow the U=U principle and verify laboratory access and ethical review.

View HIV patient surrogacy options

7. 🧓 Elderly families and families who have lost their only child

United States of America CIS countries

The core problems for these families are usually insufficient egg supply, limited number of embryos, and high time costs. In most cases, it is necessary to simultaneously evaluate egg donation and the success path.

Compliance Tip: It is recommended to conduct a specific medical assessment before discussing national policies and budgets.

8. 🧬 Chromosomal/Genetic Disease Carrier

United States of America Canadian

We must rely on high-standard PGT-A / PGT-M / PGT-SR technologies and design laboratory protocols in advance to minimize the risk of transmitting single-gene genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities.

Compliance advice: Genetic counseling and gene probe customization should be completed as early as possible.

Recommended route for legally married couples: The widest range of options and the most controllable budget. It's recommended that you thoroughly verify the "parental rights pathway + payment structure," as this is more important than simply comparing prices.
Three-step verification (to avoid being trapped by "low-price packages"):
  1. AccessNational/state policies + whether the clinic can create a file based on your status.
  2. parental authorityIs there a clear parental rights pathway (e.g., PBO/court order/birth certificate link)?
  3. PaymentDoes the system have an escrow/managed node and a reconcilable payment schedule (rejecting payments to individuals)?

Budget logic: For a couple's basic package, the core add-on is usually sperm source ($700–$1,000/vial) + logistics/storage; if egg donation/PGT is involved, it is added according to the general add-on.
Three-step verification (common checkpoints for single women/lesbians):
  1. AccessCan the clinic create a file under your name? + Process for purchasing and storing sperm samples.
  2. EssenceAsk about the required number of units for better stability and the shipping/storage costs (don't just look at the unit price).
  3. BudgetAre there already embryos? If not, ovulation induction/egg retrieval/embryo construction will increase the budget.

📌 A friendly reminder: Jingyuan suggests not just buying "enough for your needs". A more reliable approach is to reserve a backup number according to your plan (please list purchase, shipping and storage separately).
Strategy: First confirm whether the "destination + clinic" accepts registration before discussing the budget; otherwise, the quote you receive may not be feasible at all.
Three-step verification (HIV/infectious diseases must first undergo "receptivity assessment"):
  1. take overWhether the clinic accepts patients for registration (the standards vary greatly from clinic to clinic, so you must check with the clinic for details).
  2. workflowsDoes the product require washing/additional testing/more frequent screening? Who will perform it and how much will it cost?

⚠️ It is recommended that elderly people or those who have lost their only child submit [the following information] "Egg donation cycle + multiple embryo transfers + NICU contingency plan" These three red lines should be written into the budget sheet; otherwise, it is easy to see a collapse where "it looks enough, but it is not enough in the end."
PGT Additional Items: In addition to the basic sample, $4k–$12k+ is reserved. For carriers of genetic diseases, it is recommended to first clarify the "PGT type + testing range + retesting rules for failure".
Three-step verification (the area where PGT is most easily subject to "vague pricing"):
  1. typologyWhich one is being made: PGT-A / PGT-M / PGT-SR?
  2. scopeWhich sites/diseases are being tested? Is family verification required?
  3. RetestHow much does it cost to retest if the test fails or there is insufficient sample size? How is the retest cycle calculated?
PGT-A: +$4k–$5k/cycle

The Ultimate FAQ on Surrogacy Decisions

Why are there so many fewer countries available for single people and same-sex couples compared to legally married couples?

Assisted reproduction is highly dependent on local conditionsThe definition of "family/parental status" in the Family LawMany countries (such as many CIS countries) legally recognize only the legality of surrogacy and parental rights for "heterosexual married couples." If single individuals and same-sex couples travel to these countries, not only may the surrogate mother be unable to legally register, but the child may also face obstacles in parental rights and documentation after birth. Therefore, it is usually necessary to choose destinations that explicitly protect the rights of single individuals/same-sex couples at the state or constitutional level (such as some US states and Canada).

Canadian surrogacy seems cheaper than in the US, so why do people say it has "high hidden costs and a long process"?

Canada implementsAltruistic surrogacyThe framework prohibits paying commercial compensation to surrogate mothers and imposes strict limits on matchmaking fees. This means that matching surrogate mothers often relies heavily on resources and waiting, which can be quite long (commonly 1-2 years or even longer). The time cost, travel expenses, and the uncertainty of surrogate mothers' pregnancies being reimbursed based on receipts are all "hidden costs" that must be assessed before choosing Canada.

Are children born to HIV-infected individuals through IVF truly healthy?

In countries with advanced medical technology (such as the United States), clinics typically use...Sperm washing (e.g., gradient centrifugation)The process involves separating seminal plasma from sperm, and then using methods such as nucleic acid testing (PCR) by a third-party laboratory. Under the premise of meeting indications and standard operating procedures, this can...MinimizeTo mitigate the risk of transmission, further insemination procedures such as ICSI may be necessary. Specific feasibility and risk assessments must be based on the clinic's acceptance criteria and the individual's condition.

Can the "guaranteed success" packages from CIS countries really be redone an unlimited number of times until you can hold your baby?

The so-called "guaranteed success" usually refers to"Live Birth Guarantee"The package may cover multiple ovulation inductions, screenings, embryo transfer, and surrogate mother replacement, but be sure to pay attention to the prerequisites and limitations: clinics usually set strict thresholds for the woman (if using her own eggs), such as AMH levels, antral follicle count, and age; if these requirements are not met, she may be required to switch to a "donor egg package with guaranteed success." Make sure to carefully read the contract before signing.Threshold conditions, exclusions and exit/termination mechanismsThe
