Drafting a surrogacy contract is a complicated thing to do, and only qualified lawyers should fulfill such a mission. This is a checklist of items to help you think about what terms you want your surrogacy agreement to contain, in spite of your role in this agreement. It is important to note that the couple and the surrogate need detached and independent consultation to make sure that their best interests are protected, and to evade a potential conflict of interest.
The contract stage of a Surrogate arrangement is probably thought to be one of the most complicated fields to negotiate. Not only is it essential that your contract enclosed everything to legally protect both sides, but it also must contain a careful scheme of any fees that will exchange hands. If there should ever be a problem, the contract will be the first document to solve it. Therefore, it is extremely important that it be precise and accurate to both parties’ interests and demands.
Here is the list of different kinds of fees the surrogate carriers would like to include in their surrogacy contract:
Basic Fee
Base fee is probably be the main thing the surrogate and the intended parents would like to discuss at first. There will be no surprises during the contract stage because this matter is considered very thoroughly.
Usually the first time surrogate should receive anywhere from $14,000 to $18,000, some surrogates will ask for more than these amounts and some will ask for less. The fee of the experienced surrogate will be higher. Rarely you will find the volunteer to carry your child free o charge
Expenses
It is very important that the contract showed the fee will be disbursed. Most contracts usually have the whole sum divided into monthly payments.
Transfer or Insemination Fee
One more fee the surrogate would like to include in the contract is a transfer/insemination fee. Gestational carriers generally ask for a small sum of money at the time of transfer for the time and distress the cycling process had given her - usually around $500.
Traditional surrogates will occasionally request an insemination fee. The usual amount is about $250 per cycle.
Invasive Procedures
The invasive procedure is any manipulation done in the place where they have to enter the surrogate’s body. For instance, it may be amniocentesis. If a surrogate thinks that this may be really uncomfortable, she can ask for some compensation around $500.
