Why do we need a surrogate?

Surrogacy is a process in which a woman temporarily carries a pregnancy for individuals or couples who are unable to conceive on their own. It is an opportunity for intended parents to fulfill their dream of parenthood and experience the joy of family.

1. Medical Indication • There must be a clear medical reason why pregnancy cannot be carried independently (for example: absence or removal of the uterus, serious medical conditions, multiple failed IVF attempts, or high health risks for the mother).

2. Availability of Genetic Material • The “Only Surrogate” service is available for individuals or couples who have their own genetic material (eggs and/or sperm) or already created embryos. • If such genetic material does not exist, intended parents can use our Surrogate + Donor service, where we also provide donor selection.

3. Legal Readiness • Intended parents must be ready to sign a contract and follow the necessary legal procedures, which protect the rights of both the intended parents and the surrogate.

4. Financial Preparedness • Surrogacy requires financial resources (surrogate compensation, medical services, legal support, and organizational assistance). Intended parents should be prepared to cover these costs.

5. Emotional Readiness • It is equally important to be emotionally prepared: surrogacy is a long and responsible process that requires patience and trust.

The payment is divided into three parts: 1. First installment – on the day of the embryo transfer, when the embryo is placed into the surrogate mother’s uterus. 2. Second installment – at the 12th week of pregnancy. 3. Final installment – after delivery, no later than 5 business days following the birth.

The total cost associated with engaging a surrogate can reach up to $74,000, depending on the specific medical procedures, legal requirements, and additional services included in the program.
