Guiding You Through the Surrogacy Journey with Care and Expertise
Surrogacy can be a complex and deeply personal journey that’s challenging to navigate without expert support. At Northeast Assisted Fertility Group, we dedicate significant resources to carefully selecting exceptional surrogate candidates, who undergo our rigorous, industry-leading screening protocols. Only a small percentage of applicants meet our high standards.
We ensure surrogate matches are made thoughtfully, considering the mutual preferences and requirements of both parties to create the best possible partnership. Because we intentionally maintain a limited practice, our waiting times for intended parents remain reasonable at an average of 6 months, allowing you to move forward with confidence and clarity.

How We Carefully Match Intended Parents with Their Ideal Surrogate
The journey to parenthood through surrogacy involves a dedicated team of professionals working closely with both intended parents and the surrogate to ensure a successful and positive experience.
Mental health providers, nurses, and physicians carefully screen each surrogate candidate to confirm her suitability. This comprehensive evaluation ensures she is physically, emotionally, and legally prepared to carry your child.
Specialized clinicians handle every medical step, from pre-transfer preparations such as medications, to embryo transfer, pregnancy monitoring, and delivery of the baby. Assisted reproduction attorneys draft and review all necessary legal contracts, protecting the rights and interests of all parties from pre-conception through post-birth procedures.
We prioritize thoughtful matches by considering the preferences and needs of both intended parents and surrogates, fostering strong, trusting partnerships. Our experienced team guides you each step of the way, making the surrogacy process clear, ethical, and supportive.
How Much Does Surrogacy Cost?
The fee structure, like the time frame, varies for each case. Some gestational carriers have greater expenses than others, and fees for IVF procedures can vary among facilities. Depending on where the surrogate lives, there may be travel costs to consider. An average total of $140,000 to $190,000 would be reasonable to project for intended parents considering surrogacy.

- Gestational carrier compensation: $75,000 to $85,000
