Many couples having difficulties with childbearing study information on private surrogacy in the USA: price and other nuances. And they come into a state of shock, having learned the numbers. Yes, the surrogate mother’s fee can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. This does not include the payment of mediation services (if the surrogate mother will provide you with the agency), payment of the surrogate's expenses during pregnancy, medical examinations, birth support (if a cesarean section is required, the amount increases by several thousand dollars), medications, legal support and others. And if IVF does not become successful on the first try ... The total amount is palpable even for very wealthy people.

However, there are religions that approve of helping desperate people to in creation a family and procreation. Consider the arguments of the main religious movements in this article.
