Various infertility treatment methods like domestic or international adoption, IVF treatments, or purchasing donor eggs have left couples drained emotionally, physically, and financially.
Donating families do not get paid for their donation. They donate their frozen embryos because they want them to have a chance at the life for which they were created. It’s an incredible gift they are giving to another couple who wants to create a family.
When families choose this option they want to know exactly what to expect financially.
Here is an average cost analysis:
- Home Study: $1,000 and $3,000
Home studies are a vital part of the embryo adoption process. This will give the agency a chance to meet your family, learn more about you, and have the information needed to match you to the right donating family. This will be the basis for a smooth, worry-free adoption process for all families involved.
- Medical Fee: $2,500 and $6,000
This is the cost associated with transferring the thawed embryos into the mother’s womb. The procedure will be done by a trained medical doctor in a clinic, is painless, and takes only minutes to complete.
- Agency Fees: $10,000 and $16,000
Depending on the agency you work with for your adoption prices will vary. This is the amount you’ll pay to the agency helping match you to the right family and walk you through the adoption process. Some agencies will offer a comprehensive fee, others will have more of an a la carte fee schedule. It’s important to compare apples to apples when evaluating the services of an agency.
The reward is peace of mind. Having experts guide you through the process is invaluable.
