Surrogacy for International Intended Parents

Circle Surrogacy works with those individuals and couples wishing to become parents through surrogacy from all over the world, from the UK to Norway, to Switzerland and Australia and everywhere in between. In fact, Circle Surrogacy has grown families in over 70 countries in the last 25 years.

We are experienced in helping international intended parents plan for the birth of their baby in the U.S., travel for the baby's birth, and arrange for all documents needed to bring their baby safely home.

Surrogacy in the U.S. is the safest choice for international intended parents because babies born in the United States will be U.S. citizens, plus our advanced expertise in surrogacy means we adhere to the strictest guidelines for surrogate mothers and egg donors. Plus, you are guaranteed financial security when working with a U.S.-based surrogacy agency.

Nancy's family posting with surrogate children

I will forever be grateful to the amazing women who helped my husband and I have two beautiful children! I love the opportunity I have here at the agency to help others fullfill their dreams of parenthood via gestational surrogacy. Nancy Weatherby, Parent Outreach Manager

We have personal experience with surrogacy and egg donation.

Because many of us on the Circle Surrogacy team have gone through gestational surrogacy and egg donation ourselves, we know all about the processes and the physical and emotional impacts of each. That's why, from the moment you choose us as your partner to your trip home with your baby, we're there to support, guide and help you in any and every way we can.

In fact, about 40% of our staff has been a surrogate, intended parent or egg donor, or has grown their families through IVF or adoption. We've been in your shoes, and because of that, we're able to relate to your story and design our surrogacy programs around real-life experiences.

Surrogacy Costs: two exclusive fixed price programs

Circle Surrogacy & Egg Donation is the leading surrogacy agency because we always put our Intended Parents’ needs first. Our surrogacy programs and pricing are structured to achieve two primary goals: success and cost security.

Circle is the only agency that offers you two truly fixed price options, tailored to your specific circumstances.

Our Fixed Cost Program and Journey Protection Guarantee are designed to help as many Intended Parents as possible bring home a baby while reducing variable costs.

Our Fixed Cost Program provides Intended Parents the security of paying one fixed price for a single transfer journey, reducing unexpected expenses and uncertainty of variable costs.

Fixed cost for surrogacy only: $125,500 (excludes IVF)
Fixed cost for surrogacy plus egg donation: $149,500 (excludes IVF)

In addition to fixed costs, you'll also receive our high-quality planning and coordination during every milestone of your experience. From our initial conversation to the completion of your journey and beyond, our Fixed Cost Program is structured in a way that you'll always have the support and guidance of Circle Surrogacy.

2. Journey Protection Guarantee Program

Fixed cost for surrogacy only: $135,500 (excludes IVF)
Fixed cost for surrogacy plus egg donation: $159,500 (excludes IVF)

As with our Fixed Cost Program, the Journey Protection Guarantee includes Circle Surrogacy's top-notch service and support from a team of professionals who are experts in the surrogacy and egg donation field.

How long does the whole surrogacy process take?

The length of the process depends on several factors. We typically tell intended parents that they should plan on a year and a half from the time they sign on with our agency until they have a child, although it can be quicker or longer depending on the legal requirements involved and the course of the IVF treatment.

What is the difference between gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy?

There are two types of surrogacy—gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. In a typical gestational surrogacy arrangement, intended parents create embryos through in vitro fertilization. One or more of these embryos is implanted in a surrogate (sometimes known as a gestational carrier), who carries the child or children to term, but has no genetic relationship to them. Gestational surrogacies makeup the vast majority of modern surrogacy arrangements.

By contrast, traditional surrogates typically become pregnant through artificial insemination, and have a genetic connection to the child or children they carry for their intended parents. At Circle, we only provide gestational surrogacy services.

Can I be a parent if I’m single?

Of course! We work with intended parents of all backgrounds—single individuals, same-sex couples and heterosexual couples.
