[quote=Anonymous]Are you asking about the cost of the fee you'd pay the GC? That's possibly the only place you'd be saving and it would depend on how much your relative was willing to accept, I'd think. Undoubtedly some do it for free, but not everyone would. You'd still need to pay a lawyer to handle an agreement and the paperwork, all the med costs, and presumably you'd be compensating your relative for things like their necessary time off work (if she works), mileage, maybe childcare, clothing, housecleaning help, etc. So yes, you'd save some money but not as much as it might seem. Of course it's not nothing! In our research we have generally seen fees ranging from $25K-$50K and they can go higher for repeat GCs who have demonstrated they can successfully carry a surrogate pregnancy to term.

Anyway, I agree with PP that I'd be wary of doing this because there are so many ways it could have negative long-term impacts on your extended family relationships, but you know your family best and it could work. When I was looking at surrogacy I found this blog helpful - in her case, her SIL carried her baby for her: https://medinaivf.wordpress.com/. [/quote]
