How to choose a surrogacy agency? What is a reasonable price range?

So, how can you select a reputable surrogacy agency? And how should you consider the cost of surrogacy? RSMC provides the following three guidelines to help you choose a reliable and reasonably priced surrogacy agency.

1. Focus on the IVF Clinic's experience and expertise rather than the cost of surrogacy.

Surrogacy is a medical procedure, so the hospital's equipment and expertise are more important than the price. Since surrogacy is not guaranteed to be successful, the success rate can be influenced by factors such as the quality of the eggs and sperm, the quality of the embryos, and the health of the surrogate. Therefore, the clinical experience of the hospital can also have an impact on the outcome. RSMC has nearly 30 years of experience in infertility treatment, with top-notch physicians and a strong network of international partnerships, ensuring the highest chances of successful pregnancy.

2. Choose a formal and legal medical institution.

Currently, the cost of IVF with surrogacy in the United States is around $160,000 to $190,000. Due to the high cost, some people may consider alternative options in other countries, but this carries a high risk. It is possible to discover that institutions claiming to be large hospitals are actually small clinics. It is recommended to choose a reputable and legally operating institution in a recognized country for surrogacy.

3. Select a surrogacy company with transparent pricing.

Some surrogacy companies in certain countries may initially offer low prices to attract clients and then gradually add numerous additional fees, resulting in financial burden for the clients. RSMC, in accordance with its commitment to transparency, provides clear and itemized pricing with formal quotes and contracts. They also provide bilingual support with Chinese translation throughout the consultation process, ensuring that every fee is clearly stated and your rights are protected under legal regulations.
