What Are the Expenses in the Surrogacy Process In Colorado?
As you start your surrogacy journey as a surrogate mother or intended parent, you will face some fees and expenses that our agency can help you with.

- Fee for gestational surrogacy
- Monthly expenses like travel, childcare, vitamins, etc.
- Health insurance
- Support allowance
We don’t provide one plan for all surrogacy journeys because each individual has different needs.

How Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Colorado Compensates Surrogate Mothers
There is a misconception that surrogate mothers are only in it for the money. This is not true! Surrogate mothers are drawn to helping a loving couple grow their family and be there for them through an exciting time. The intended parents and surrogate mothers work as a team to support each other emotionally and mentally. This way they can work toward their common goal of bringing in a new life into the world. The surrogacy process can be overwhelming at times, so our agency helps relieve as much of that stress as possible. One way we do this is by providing compensation for surrogate mothers. This starting compensation is money that is free to use by the surrogate mother. We help determine the exact amount depending on the situation of the intended parents and surrogate mother. But this money is for the surrogate mother, and it is up to her how she uses it.
