Our Intended Parent Program & Pricing

An all-inclusive cost with no surprises
At Alcea, our focus is family building first. We do not require any binding exclusivity agreement or non-refundable fee to match. Our agency fee payment schedule is designed to accommodate a feasible budget instead of large lump sums. Alcea is committed to helping you navigate and find assistance with the cost of surrogacy. We offer discounts for frontline workers, medical professionals, teachers, social workers, and cancer survivors. We also know that unforeseen financial circumstances can happen for intended parents, but rest assured our fee schedule will work with you so that you can take home your baby without worry.

Surrogate Compensation
$60,000 – $100,000* | More for Experienced Carrier & Multiples *costs are paid over and above the agency fee
Fee is variable based on the surrogate’s location and whether they have surrogate friendly insurance. Experienced surrogates charge significantly more.
Included in all surrogate profiles is the Carrier Compensation Acknowledgement. This customized view provides detailed compensation information, inclusive of the carriers needs for lost wages, childcare, short-term disability, etc. No need to haggle or spend time on the specifics of your contract, with the intent to pay the surrogate full compensation and expenses.

Additional Surrogate Fees
Surrogate Medical Expenses
Some surrogates have medical coverage. If yours does not, or if the carrier’s medical insurance is inadequate, you will provide medical insurance for prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum care and a one-year life insurance policy. Please note that these are estimates and may vary depending on the types of policies purchased.
  • As set forth in our agency ‘Agreement for Services’, fees will be paid per the schedule.
  • Once a surrogate selection contract is signed, you enter a binding agreement with Alcea Partners and cannot utilize the chosen carrier with any other agency.
  • Your carrier will be represented by an independent attorney for the review and negotiation of the Gestational Carrier Agreement.
  • The surrogate’s attorney fee is included in the Alcea Partner agency fee.
  • International Couples will require significant additional work with regard to birth certificate, medical bills, immigration, and citizenship.
  • The base fee for a carrier with health insurance which we believe will cover the medical cost of pregnancy and delivery is generally higher, as is the fee for experienced carriers.
  • You will be required to purchase a life insurance policy to compensate the carrier’s family in the event of death as a complication of pregnancy.
  • Carriers who are not employed will not receive lost wages.
  • Carriers employed and have lost wages because of bed rest will receive the lost wages benefit, depending on net income. Alcea offers disability insurance as a standing cost in our contracts to minimize surprise expenses in the event of bed rest.
  • IVF clinics charge different amounts to screen a carrier. Alcea has partner relationships with several clinics across the country and we can work with you to find one within your budget
  • The costs of the IVF cycle can vary. The amount listed is only an estimate of the total costs.
  • If the carrier does not live near your IVF clinic, the carrier will likely monitor at a nearby fertility clinic or doctor’s office. These costs are paid separately to the fertility clinic or doctor’s office doing the monitoring.
