How Much is the Cost of Surrogacy in South Africa ?

Surrogacy in Africa is legal in terms of Gestational surrogacy hence, the gestational surrogate is not compensated for her services, a gestational carrier is only paid if there is any loss of earnings that may occur during the IVF journey/ surrogacy journey and for reasonable pregnancy-related expenses. As a result, if you are an intended parent, the surrogate’s zero cost is a brownie point because it saves you half of the Surrogacy Cost. Commercial surrogacy is highly expensive in some places, particularly if you have to provide monthly financial assistance to the surrogate. However, the cost of surrogacy includes all the medical expenses such as the medical screenings, expenses of the egg/sperm donor (in the case where the donor is required), medical evaluation of the surrogate’s health, psychological evaluations of the surrogate, the cost of surrogate evaluations, legal fees, application to the High Court for approval, the loss of income or earnings of a surrogate mother throughout the surrogacy procedure, travelling, etc.
