Finding A Surrogate In Kansas City: What Are My Options?
If you are considering using a gestational surrogate to build and grow your family, you are likely trying to decide where to start. The first place most people start is considering if they have a family member or close friend that would be a good candidate. If that is an option for you, and the candidate is healthy physically and mentally, then that is most likely going to be the best option from a financial standpoint. Most people that utilize a family member or close friend do not pay any compensation and therefore save $20,000-$40,000.
If a family member or close friend is not an option for you, then you are left with trying to find someone on your own, or working with an agency. There are not many benefits of finding your own surrogate rather than working with an agency. Although you will save money (maybe) by not working with any agency since you will not pay an agency fee, many people that do try to find a surrogate on their own spend thousands of dollars on candidates that ultimately do now work out to be a viable candidate. In addition the emotional burden of the process can be very difficult to manage.

How Much Money Can You Earn Being a Gestational Surrogate in Kansas City?
For women that are considering the generous gift of being a gestational surrogate to help others build and grow their family, being informed about potential earnings is an important factor. The total amount you can earn being a gestational surrogate depends on several factors.
There is typically a base fee of $54,000 for first time gestational surrogates. If a candidate has health insurance that covers surrogacy pregnancies, it is possible to receive a higher base fee. The base fee is typically paid out over the course of the pregnancy, with partial payment for the treatment process. There is also additional compensation for travel, maternity clothes, lost wages, and bed rest. The final fees are determined under a contract with the intended parents.
If you are considering being a gestational surrogate, know that the real reward is not financial. It is the opportunity to help a couple or individual build and grow their family.
Using A Gestational Surrogate In Kansas City: Only For The Rich and Famous?
The list of celebrities that have used a gestational surrogate to build their family is long: Guliana and Bill Rancic, Elton John and David Furnish, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick to name a few. For those that are able to afford using a gestational surrogate to build their family, the cost is not considered a great obstacle.

It is important to know that you are working with professionals that can help you make sure the money (and time) you spend finding the right gestational surrogate for you is money and time well spent.

Finding A Gestational Surrogate On Your Own In Kansas City: Is it worth it?
Building your family through gestational surrogacy is expensive, and the idea of eliminating the expense of using an agency seems like a good idea. But is it? Of course the answer to that question is not an easy one, and you may not know until you actually give it a try. Sometimes it does work out, but many times it does not. I have heard countless stories of couples that have not only wasted their money on gestational surrogate candidates that did not work out, but more importantly, they wasted TIME! If you are relying on an advertisement that a candidate posts on a site that is written to entice you to contact them, PROCEED WITH CAUTION! Many women who post advertisements offering their services to be a gestational surrogate are not good candidates in general, or they may not be the right candidate for you. A reputable agency like Pathways To Parenthood offers intended parents and gestational surrogates a layer of protection and expertise that greatly increases the chances of a successful outcome for all parties.
