For couples and individuals considering surrogacy as an option to build their families, international surrogacy is a compelling option. For those considering surrogacy, the costs of domestic surrogacy in the United States, when all is said and done, often exceeds $100,000. For many, this financial reality makes their dream of building their family through surrogacy an option that is out of reach. With the advent of international surrogacy in recent years, everything has changed. International surrogacy costs are often less than 50-70% of what domestic surrogacy costs are in the United States. Initially, the thought of international surrogacy may seem daunting and scary; however, research and finding the right agency can shed an entirely different light on this option. Travel can be relatively close. For example, Guatemala is an option and is a 2 1/2 hour flight from Miami. Quality medical care and well trained and educated physicians are available. Agencies with with expertise and experience are available to guide prospective parents through the process. For more information about international surrogacy, contact Advocates for Surrogacy for a free consultation about this option.
