If you want to take the surrogacy journey, one thing may be stopping you: affording it. Surrogacy has long been seen as something that only the rich can afford, but that isn’t so. While no one will say that surrogacy is cheap, it is affordable. There are a few different ways you can go about affording it and making your dreams a reality. We will help you to understand how some of our families have afforded it:
Consider Financing Options
Many people will take out loans or get a second mortgage on their homes in order to afford surrogacy. This is likely the fastest way to afford it, though you will have to talk to a surrogacy agency to understand the size of the loan you need to take.
It can be difficult to secure these loans before you know all of the details, which is why you need to get everything organized before you start looking. We’ve put together information about surrogacy fees you can review here.
Talk To Your Family
Another option is to talk to your own family, if that is something you can do. While this isn’t an option for everyone, people are able to talk to their families about borrowing money or simply having their parents or grandparents help them with the costs.
If this is an option for you, it is best to have all of the information upfront so that you can tell people how much help you will need. You may also want to consider having these people help with securing loans if they aren’t able to help you with direct payments.
Consider Crowdsourcing
If you don’t have family members who can individually help you, consider crowdfunding. This will help you to get a little bit of money from a larger number of people who want to see your dreams come true. This may mean telling people your story and having them understand why you can’t have children on your own, which is a delicate subject for some people, so this isn’t an option for everyone.
There are plenty of platforms where you can do this, just be sure to remember the fees.
Understand The Costs
We have found that people who understand the costs of surrogacy are better at taking it on. There are some places where you can save money and some places where it is better to spend money. The more time you spend talking about the costs, the more confident you will feel in the choices that you make.
Another thing to consider is whether or not you want to try for multiples. This is a most costly endeavor, but you may save money in the long run if you plan on going through surrogacy more than once.
Shop Around
Finally, you need to understand that not all surrogacy agencies charge the same prices. Some agencies are cheaper than others, but then there are also reasons why they are so inexpensive. You need to manage value, results, personalized care, and costs.
EDSI believes that we have found the right balance there, and we continually work to be transparent in our efforts to make surrogacy affordable for all families.
