We here at Carrying Hope, A Surrogacy Agency understand that making the decision to pursue surrogacy is never an easy one. We recognize the overwhelming information surrounding surrogacy and the wide range of emotions Intended Parents experience throughout the entire process.

Carrying Hope, A Surrogacy Agency, was founded by two women who recognized the true need for surrogate mothers and felt it in their hearts to help. Our team understands the level of support needed to help intended parents go through the stages of surrogacy from the moment they consider this route for family planning all the way through the rewarding process.

Process

The surrogacy process is a lengthy one that requires many steps to be met. Carrying Hope ensures that all carriers are thoroughly screened to facilitate the best possible match for the intended parents and carrier alike. Our team is here to guide you with complete support before, during and after your match. Carrying Hope will be there to coordinate appointments, review records, listen to the needs of all parties involved, assist with communication needs, and any other obstacles that may arise throughout your journey.

Cost

Carrying Hope understands the financial aspect of surrogacy can be rather intimidating. We have developed a fee schedule that we feel is within the customary and reasonable amounts received by most carriers. Though these fees are negotiable by either side, we have provided the fee schedule below to assist in giving you a well-rounded understanding of your potential expenses. It is important to understand that these numbers are estimated, and only to provide you a general idea of expenses you can expect in this process but not including your IVF clinic fees, medications and prenatal care/delivery fees.
