How much does a programme cost in total?
It depends on the destination, on whether you already have embryos, and on whether a donor is needed. Ranges run from roughly $45k in the Caucasus to $190k in the United States. The itemised breakdown is on the
costs page.
When do I pay, and how much at a time?
Five tranches tied to milestones: signing, surrogate matched, transfer completed, heartbeat confirmed, birth and documents. Nothing is paid for a stage that has not happened, and we do not hold your funds between stages.
How long does the whole process take?
Typically 14 to 20 months from first documents to flying home, though matching and IVF response are biological variables we cannot schedule.
Is success guaranteed?
No. Pregnancy and birth depend on medical factors nobody can guarantee, and any agency promising otherwise is selling something. What is contractually defined is what happens — clinically and financially — if a cycle does not work.
Will my country recognise my child?
The answer is specific to your nationality. Some countries recognise the foreign birth certificate; others require a court order or an adoption step at home. The
matcher shows which group yours falls into.
Can I choose the surrogate?
Yes. You review full profiles and meet her before any medical step. If you are not comfortable, we look for another match — that is not an extra-cost option.
How is an egg donor found?
Individually, against your criteria. We do not maintain a catalogue, and screening is completed before you are asked to make any decision.
