When full-service surrogacy agencies are charging anywhere between $18,000 to $50,000.00+ and an entire surrogacy journey costs between $120,000 to $195,000+ it is more important than ever to learn about the surrogacy process and know what to expect during this somewhat complicated journey. Most important is to work with a surrogacy consultant if you have found your surrogate on your own and you want to continue working together without the benefit of an agency. Many clinics require some sort of consultant service. Simplify Surrogacy Consulting offers the following packages for those just starting out on a road that may take 15 to 18 months or more, from start to finish.
