“Our Experience with Bill Houghton and SENSIBLE Surrogacy was outstanding. He helped us achieve our dreams of becoming parents. My wife and I are extremely thankful for all the work they put in to helping us.”
“We talked to a few agencies once we decided to take this step, and SENSIBLE was the most personable and easiest to interact with. Other agencies were too focused on signing the agreement; Bill helped answer our questions before we signed and then throughout the process.”

Yes, we know surrogacy can seem daunting. But it’s easy to understand as a series of manageable steps. The SENSIBLE Surrogacy Guide provides step-by-step instructions to conceiving your family through IVF and surrogacy.
We invite anyone considering IVF and surrogacy to browse the Surrogacy Guide for some clear information.
Surrogacy is a large investment, both financially and emotionally. The average cost in the United States ranges from $150,000 to $200,000. International surrogacy costs as little as $60,000 in Eastern Europe or South America, and even less in Africa.
Yes! Surrogates receive independent legal and medical advice, and they are never coerced into a surrogacy journey. Reputable agencies will not work with women who are financially motivated, including women on government assistance.
Reputable agents offer wide ranging benefits to their surrogates, in addition to base pay. Packages can include wellness programs, counseling, financial management. Many also include support for the surrogate’s family, including school supplies, nutritional support, holiday events, and more.
Not to mention the surrogate receives emotional support from the agency and the intended parents.

Costs for medical care of the baby (and the pregnancy) are generally the responsibility of the intended parents. It’s important that intended parents have medical insurance that covers both the surrogate and the baby in case of complications during the pregnancy and delivery. A reputable agent can arrange for medical insurance on behalf of the parents.

Often, it does not. Some progressive companies offer “Fertility Benefits” to employees. This may cover the cost of fertility checkups or an IVF cycle. In some cases a policy may cover a portion of a surrogacy journey (up to a maximum).
In most cases, intended parents pay for a special policy or cover all medical costs out-of-pocket, including the surrogate’s deductibles, co-pays, and pregnancy-related care.

Just as all intended parents wonder if the surrogate is going to “keep the baby”, all surrogates worry that the intended parents will chang their mind and leave her with the baby. Agencies screen both intended parents and surrogates to ensure stability – including legal background checks and psychological assessment. In jurisdictions with a supportive legal framework, contracts will ensure that everyone upholds their legal responsibility for the child.
A journey generally takes 18 to 24 months from starting the process to the birth of the baby. Some factors can affect the timeline, including the availability of your egg donor, the time needed for surrogate matching, and how many attempts are needed before your surrogate becomes pregnant.
