Surrogacy has become a solution for countless families around the globe, offering a path to parenthood for those facing infertility or other barriers. Yet, the journey can be fraught with uncertainty and emotional upheaval. The Guaranteed Surrogacy Program at the World Center of Baby (WCOB) was created to eliminate those worries and ensure a successful outcome.
Currently, surrogacy in Singapore is prohibited by law. Both commercial and altruistic surrogacy is illegal. The prohibition was enforced due to concerns about the potential exploitation of women and children, as well as legal and ethical issues.
The good news is that Singaporean legislation does not prohibit seeking surrogacy overseas. The neighboring countries like Thailand and India used to be popular surrogacy destinations for Singaporeans. But both states have legally banned surrogacy. All these changes have caused Singaporeans to look for surrogacy solutions in other surrogacy-friendly countries.
There are several reasons why surrogacy is not permitted in Singapore:
Due to all of the above, Singaporeans have been forced to look for surrogacy options abroad. In this scenario, the main question intended parents usually ask is about destination and price. Let’s look at the best alternative destinations in terms of cost and legislation.
Albania is a popular surrogacy destination among same-sex couples, singles, and heterosexual couples. This is due to modern technology surrogacy clinics offering a broad selection of local donors and traveling donors from other countries. Therefore, World Center of Baby provides shorter wait times for intended parents seeking surrogacy in Albania. The surrogacy process is less expensive in comparison to other countries: with WCOB, you will spend from $67,000 to $80,000, depending on your goals and situation.

Surrogacy legislation in Mexico grants all individuals equal opportunities to build families. The government affirmed the legal parenthood of intended parents, emphasizing that a child's parentage should be determined by the desire to form a family rather than genetic factors or marital status. This makes the legal process much smoother, regardless of the intended parents’ sexual orientation. Another advantage to Mexico is the affordability of medical care. With WCOB, all expenses sum up to $80,000 - $125,000. For this amount, you will receive legal support, surrogate matching, high-quality prenatal care, complex pregnancy screening, and risk protection in an emergency.

International surrogacy costs are not fixed, as they depend on the country and agency you choose. The total cost includes travel, medical services, surrogate fees, legal support, and agency fees, which may fluctuate depending on the country, agency, program, and surrogate you choose.
In Singapore, fertility and reproduction clinics are not permitted to offer surrogacy services, and artificial insemination is restricted to legally married couples only. In case of surrogacy law violations, the clinic’s license can get suspended.
If you are considering surrogacy abroad, cost should not always be the main factor in choosing an international surrogacy agency. The key factors to pay attention to are the agency's reputation and authentic testimonials, the size and quality of the surrogate database, and legal expertise.
