I am looking for a surrogate mother for me and my husband??

Question

How do I go about doing this? How expensive can this get?

The reason why I am wanting this is because I have PCOS which won't let me get pregnant and even if I do I will either have a miscarriage or have it pre-mature. We already have a son who is 15 months old and we have been trying to have another one but it is coming up unsuccesful.

Answer 1

I wouldn't go through Yahoo Answers. There should be clinics or even adoption agencies in your area that can tell you more information about  surrogate mothers. good luck!

Answer 2

This is a great website to get costs from:

http://www.surrogatemothers.com/compare_...

It shows average prices for all of the options. But it mainly all depends on the state, which type of surrogacy you choose, and what is involved. Mainly between $13000-$22000

Answer 3

It could be very costly or inexpensive depending on the route you choose. If you use an agency and do everything all formal then it's really expensive. You have many costs to consider..

paying the surrogate (about $20,000 in my state)

Fertility meds (to get your eggs) thousands

IVF if using husband's sperm w/your egg $thousands

w/donor eggs add about $8000 more

Insurance for surrogate   $3000

My friend is currently carrying for a couple and they are spending tons of money to get this baby. I say adopt and save the tons of money for a hybrid mini-van
