How Much Does Surrogacy Cost?
One of the first questions many intended parents ask is: how much does surrogacy cost? The truth is, the overall cost of surrogacy can vary significantly depending on a few key factors.
The country where the program takes place plays an important role — some destinations offer more affordable medical and legal services than others. The type of surrogacy (gestational or traditional) and the agency or fertility clinic you choose also influence the total cost.
At World Center of Baby, we believe in full transparency. Our team provides a clear, personalized breakdown of all expenses from the very beginning — so you can plan your journey with confidence and peace of mind.
In the United States, the average cost of surrogacy typically ranges from $100,000 to $150,000. This includes the surrogate’s compensation, medical and legal expenses, agency fees, and other related costs.
In comparison, international surrogacy programs — such as those offered in Mexico, Georgia, or Ukraine — generally provide more affordable options, while still maintaining high standards of care and professionalism. However, it’s essential to understand that each country’s legal framework and protections for intended parents may differ, which is why choosing a reputable agency is so important.
Beyond direct program fees, intended parents should also consider additional expenses such as travel, accommodation, childcare, and potential time away from work.
At World Center of Baby, we aim to make surrogacy accessible and transparent. Our specialists guide you through every financial detail — helping you plan realistically and confidently for one of life’s most meaningful journeys.

Every surrogacy journey is unique — and so is its cost. At World Center of Baby, we tailor each program to match your personal circumstances, preferences, and financial plan. While specific services may vary, our core promise remains the same: safety, transparency, and dedicated support at every stage.
Typically, the average cost for surrogacy includes four main categories of services:
