How Much Does Surrogacy Cost in Colorado?
The cost of gestational surrogacy in Colorado includes several necessary services, and can vary based on the agency that you work with.
You will need professional help at several points within your surrogacy journey. This help assures that your surrogacy is completed ethically, follows legal guidelines, and is safe for you and your surrogate.

Surrogacy Cost Breakdown in Colorado
Instead of sharing the average cost of surrogacy in Colorado with you, at American Surrogacy, we use a clear fee structure that has a clear breakdown of where your money is going, so that you aren’t surprised by costs and can budget effectively for your journey.
American Surrogacy costs depend on which program you choose but typically range from $100,000 to $200,000+. We've designed 3 programs to help families who have a surrogate or need help finding a surrogate become parents faster.
- Independent Program: Designed for families who have a surrogate or plan to find one on their own.
- Foundation Program: A full-service program with a pay-as-you-go fee structure similar to how most agencies charge fees.
- Limited Risk Program: Our second full-service program with financial protection that avoids repaying many fees if something doesn't work out and makes budgeting more predictable.
What is the Parent Protection Fee in our Limited Risk Program?
Our Parent Protection Fee was created to help protect you from variable costs associated with surrogacy and provide you peace of mind.
This fee allows us to offer:
-
Unlimited matching in the case that multiple embryo transfers are needed
-
Refunds in cases where no embryos are left and a baby was not born for these fees:
Marketing/advertising, Match Fee, Intended Parent Legal Fees, Insurance Fee and Management, and unused surrogate compensation
- Peace of mind that cost variations won’t mean additional charges to you later on in the process

What Is Not Included
While our cost breakdown includes all of your surrogate agency costs in Colorado, there are some additional expenses you should budget for. Every IVF clinic has their own standards and procedures, which means this cost is dependent on the clinic you choose to work with.
Other expenses are optional or may be a separate piece to budget for. You can also have expenses for your newborn, costs to travel to see your surrogate, costs for breast milk, and you can choose to hire outside counsel in addition to American Surrogacy’s legal counsel.
