About Surrogacy

The estimated total journey cost is between $110,000 - $120,000 when using a first-time GC. This estimated includes the agency fee, pre-screening fees, the surrogate's fees and allowances, GC medical bills, travel costs, GC life insurance, and legal fees for IP's and GC. For a journey with an experienced surrogate, this estimate is approximately $135,000-$145,000.

We whole-heartedly understand this question, and feel strongly that IP's with a lower chance of achieving pregnancy due to embryo quality or quantity issues deserve to have the same support as those with higher quality/quantity embryos. We've found there is a short-fall within the agency industry for this demographic, and we aim to change that! We have created a unique program for IP's in this situation, to allow the flexibility necessary for "one and done" journeys.

ISC does not charge any fees until an official match takes place. No fees are charged for viewing surrogate profiles.

In the event your surrogate does not pass the medical screening exam, no additional fees beyond what you've initially agreed to would be assessed, and you would be rematched at no additional cost. In certain circumstances, such as (but not limited to) one or more unsuccessful embryo transfers taking place, our agency fee would be charged. We offer a 25% discount off of our regular agency fee for rematches that are due to no fault of the Intended Parents. 

No! Everything from medication, medical appointments, necessary travel and insurance (if needed) is covered. Your legal contract will specify all covered items. The money needed to fund the parents surrogacy is held in a third party trust account. If you ever pay out of pocket for small items (for example picking up birth control from your local pharmacy) that amount is reimbursed quickly from the trust account

Being open and flexible with your matching preferences can help reduce the time it takes to match you. For example, being open to working with either straight or LGBTQ+ single or couple, domestic or international families, will mean a quicker matching time in most cases.

ISC has an amazing team of coordinators working hard to provide minimal wait times for our IP's. We are constantly vetting new GC's to ensure we don't have to keep our IP's waiting for months on end to find their match. While the amount of time it takes to find a match solely depends on your clinic requirements and personal preferences, our IP's are typically matched within 2 to 4 weeks of their profile becoming active.
