The Surrogacy Only plan includes the costs of your surrogate and her healthy pregnancy, including:
This budget does not include the cost of shipping embryos to our center in Bogota.
Â
For Intended parents with embryos at overseas clinics, this option offers an affordable opportunity for your baby to be born under a secure legal framework. This plan coordinates the secure medical transport of your embryos to our partner clinic. Once embryos have arrived at our clinic, the package covers surrogate matching, unlimited embryo transfers, prenatal care, and delivery.
Total program cost is $57,000 USD.
Affordable SENSIBLE programs include full surrogate compensation and benefits, clinic procedures, legal fees, surrogate matching and coordination fees, even the surrogate’s estimated medical insurance and travel expenses. Although every journey is slightly different, our detailed budget lets Intended Parents understand how much their entire program will cost and how they can avoid unexpected expenses.
Our clinic partner boasts a strong pregnancy rate of about 65% per embryo transfer. Once a pregnancy is established, live birth rates are over 98%.  Our success rates demonstrate the high quality of their embryology lab and clinic partner, as well as the high quality of healthcare in Colombia generally.
In comparison, the average pregnancy rates at US fertility clinics is around 46% per transfer. Specialized “surrogacy clinics” in the US have a pregnancy rate around 75% per transfer. Â
Check out this article in the Surrogacy Guide about Surrogacy Success Rates to fully understand the nuances with pregnancy rates worldwide.
Guarantee programs are a popular option that offer unlimited clinic procedures for a fixed price. The program continues until a baby is born or reaches viability, depending on the program. This option is popular because it provides reassurance about the ultimate success of your surrogacy journey.Â
It’s important to note that a “Guarantee” program cannot actually ensure that a baby is born. (A successful birth is a miracle of God and nature.) Nor does it include a warrantee or refund if there is ultimately no baby. Instead, the “Guarantee” typically refers to the promise by the clinic to provide unlimited services. In that sense, its a “guarantee of service” not a “guarantee of outcome.”
We may not be able to guarantee the baby will be born, but the clinic will not stop trying until your family journey is completed.
In Colombia, we are proud to work with these excellent local service providers:
The Conceptum Fertility Clinic is a comprehensive women’s health and reproductive medicine center with 35 years of experience. They are an institution in the region, providing first-rate services to women and infertile couples with state-of-the-art technology and the best trained personnel
Surrogacy Colombia has provided local services to SENSIBLE since 2015.  The two organizations opened Colombia to international surrogacy together, forming a partnership that is still the model for successful surrogacy agencies in the country.
Our latest local partner is The Surrogacy Family, which provides local services. Although a new name in Colombia, TSF was founded by experienced experts with over 10 years in family law and more than 800 successful journeys.
Nuevas Familias is a non-profit organization that recruits, compensates and supports women who are part of the surrogacy process. Through unique mental health, legal and medical representation, financial planning and other efforts, their efforts ensure the ethical treatment of surrogates, as well as the wellbeing of them and their families.
Since 2012, our program in Bogotá, Colombia, has become a leading option for families worldwide. Here are some reasons why you should consider Sensible Surrogacy for your journey in Colombia.
We know exactly what you are going through because we have been there ourselves. Sensible Surrogacy was founded by LGBT+ parents who successfully built their own families through surrogacy. Since 2012, we have used our firsthand, personal experience to help hundreds of new parents navigate the complexities of international surrogacy and bring beautiful new babies into the world.
At Sensible, we do not believe in hidden costs. We provide a transparent, all-inclusive budget that is clearly outlined, ensuring you understand exactly what you are paying for from day one. While the average cost of surrogacy in the United States can easily range from $150,000 to $200,000, our comprehensive Colombia programs are highly affordable, starting at around $65,000.
When you choose Sensible Surrogacy, you are getting an independent project manager who works strictly for your benefit. We are not tied exclusively to any single clinic or service provider, meaning our only priority is your family’s success. From scheduling your initial sperm donation in Bogotá to navigating the final legal paperwork, we are by your side, holding your hand and troubleshooting every step of the way.
