How Much Does Surrogacy Cost in Florida?
As you research surrogacy, you’ll find many estimates for how much your Florida surrogacy cost will be. While these numbers can be helpful, you won’t truly know your estimated total cost until speaking with a professional. Every surrogacy journey is different — which means the total cost will be, too. Our specialists are always happy to discuss what your surrogacy costs in Florida with our agency might be.
As an intended parent, you get to decide what kind of services you want in your surrogacy journey. Our specialists will work with you to create a plan tailored to your needs and preferences, including your budget.
The cost of surrogacy in Florida through our agency ranges from $169,900 - $179,000+. This number is lower if you have located your own surrogate. Keep in mind that our agency fee covers all of our extensive services, including:
- Advertising, locating and screening prospective surrogates
