HI gals,
Has anyone been contacted by any surrogate places in India?
If so how are you finding them?
What is the usual price for surrogacy in the U.S.?
Thanks, janeccc
in the us. we just sat down to put together our numbers for tax purposes and believe it or not, between our gc agency/gc fee/donor agency/donor fee/donor-gc ivf cycle and one FET with our GC, the grand total is ~$100,000. (sadly that doesn't include the several ivf's we tried on me...another $40K or so since insurance didn't cover it.)
we weren't smart about finding reasonably priced agencies, so we paid about $20k just between our gc and egg donor agency fees (2 separate agencies) and our gc and donor fees were kind of expensive too. i think if we had done it a bit more cheaply, we could have got that $100000 down to $80,000.
In all, I think $70,000 is the usual quote for gc and egg donor, since gc is often quoted at about $50-60K. Of course, the amount we've paid thus far doesn't even include all the costs of getting teh pre-birth order, etc, and it assumes our gc's insurance will not diapute the pregnancy in the future.
I think surrogacy/ed in india is more like $15-20k total, but i'm not 100% sure. all i know is that it is tremendously more affordable.
If we decide to try again with frozens, we are definitely going to consider trying in India. This has really been a financial drain on us...worth it, of course, but still very taxing.
is supposed to be a very good site to match ppl with international clinics for a variety of medical needs. i know that they provide surrogacy services as well..
