How long is this pricing valid for?

Current pricing is locked in once you sign your contract. Prices listed on this page are valid for contracts signed before December 31, 2026. After that date, pricing may be adjusted to reflect changes in medical costs, surrogate compensation, or other program expenses. If you're considering starting your journey soon, we recommend booking a consultation to secure current rates.

What's the refund or contingency policy?

Refund eligibility depends on which milestone has been reached. The agency fee is non-refundable once services begin, but if the program ends before later milestones (e.g., pregnancy confirmation, week 12), payments tied to those milestones will not be charged. We outline the full refund policy in your contract. Our Guarantee program offers the most protection against unsuccessful transfers.

How do I pay (USD, GBP, methods, invoicing)?

We accept payments in USD, GBP, and EUR via bank transfer (wire). You'll receive detailed invoices for each milestone payment.

Are there any fees outside this schedule?

Surrogacy is by nature unpredictable, and depending on the specifics of your journey some additional costs may arise. Before you begin your programme with us, we share a full list of possible additional costs so you understand what could apply and why. Nothing is ever added without prior discussion and your agreement.

What happens to my payments if the program is unsuccessful?

If the program doesn't result in a successful pregnancy, you won't pay milestone fees that haven't been reached. For example, if embryo transfer doesn't result in pregnancy, payments scheduled for weeks 12 and 22 would not be due. We can discuss your options for trying again or alternative next steps.

Can the payment schedule flex if my employer benefits require itemized billing?

Yes, we can work with you to provide detailed invoices that break down costs according to your employer's requirements. Many intended parents use fertility benefits, HSA/FSA funds, or require specific documentation for reimbursement—we're experienced in providing the paperwork you need. Reach out to discuss your specific situation.

What does the agency fee cover?

The agency fee covers our comprehensive case management service, including your dedicated case manager, 24/7 support line, surrogate matching and screening, legal coordination, and all administrative oversight throughout your journey. It's the foundation that ensures your program runs smoothly from start to finish.

Why are your prices lower than US or UK programs?

Our program is based in Ghana, where medical costs and cost of living are significantly lower than in the US or UK. We're able to pass these savings directly to you while maintaining exceptional standards of care. Our clinic partners are internationally accredited, and all surrogates receive comprehensive support throughout the journey.

Shipped Embryos

You've already created your embryos and you're ready for the next step.

We handle everything from arrival, surrogate matching, transfer preparation, pregnancy monitoring, and birth - so you can focus on what matters most.

Self-Cycle

This program is for intended parents using their own eggs and sperm, with no donor materials needed. Your full IVF cycle takes place here in Ghana at our partner clinic, followed by surrogate matching, transfer, and end-to-end pregnancy care. A complete journey, all coordinated in one place.

Using Egg/Sperm Donor

If you need donor eggs, donor sperm, or both, this program brings everything together. We manage donor identification, screening, and matching alongside your surrogate selection and IVF cycle, so you have one team coordinating every part of the process.

Guarantee
