Travel Expenses and Costs for Out-of-Town Gestational Surrogates:

Many intended parents and surrogates live in separate cities or even separate states. This can be beneficial for intended parents who live in states with more restrictive surrogacy laws, as they can match with someone who lives in a state with more favorable laws on surrogacy. Distance between intended parents and surrogates will very rarely affect the surrogacy process, although some travel will be required, primarily for embryo transfer and for the delivery.



The travel costs paid to a surrogate will typically include gas or airfare, compensation for time spent away from work, lodging (surrogates are asked to rest after embryo transfers) and more.
