Sara & Zach live in Indiana, and Sara was diagnosed with MRKH (absence of uterus) as a teenager.  They decided Surrogacy would be the way to have children once they were married. 

After one successful double embryo transfer their twins were born in April 2015.

With the help of an amazing foundation, and carrier they were able to spend around $30,000 on their journey.

Meghann & Brian Palouian live in Pennsylvania and were diagnosed with PCOS, low sperm count, and a septate uterus. After 3 surgeries to try to correct the abnormalities they turned to surrogacy.   

After one successful double embryo transfer their daughter was born in August 2017.
​
Amazingly they were able to spend around $15,000 total for their IVF and surrogacy journey. 

Our journey is what sparked this website! Our out of pocket costs were $25,000 including IVF. Here's how we did it!

As I always tell everyone, being informed is your best chance at being able to afford surrogacy. I am a researcher by nature, if research and details aren't your thing it will be difficult to save money while having a beautiful journey without incident. (not impossible! just more difficult.)

Our expense total was: $34,584.16
Breakdown:

• IVF/Medical= $10,000
• GC Compensations/expenses/PTO reimbursement= $12,000
• Lawyers/contracts/PBO=$6,000
• Misc= $6,500

We received $10,000 in the forms of a grant and donations, so our actual out of pocket expenses were $24,584.16.
