I’ve met so many people that have gone down this route, and then, unfortunately, after their cancer treatment has been complete and then they’re fit and healthy, they needed a surrogate because they didn’t have the embryo screened, they could not use them. That’s an important thing to remember as you don’t want to complete all your cancer treatments, but unfortunately, not being able to carry a child because of the drugs you could be on afterwards, as could affect your pregnancy.Pre-pregnancy expenses are all the clinic fees and the surrogate to go to and from the clinic, to have all the screening done, and all the appointments. Pregnancy expenses depend on your situation, whether the surrogate will have time off work, or perhaps you don’t want her to work, or whether she will get maternity leave or not and so on. Post-birth depends on what kind of birth you do have, if the surrogate has an unexpected C-section that could accumulate a few more costs. The only thing after that you need to think about is life insurance for your surrogate, wills, in case something happened to you or your partner or the surrogate during this time, and then the parental order fee in the UK, it hasn’t changed for years, it is £215. When your child reaches 6 weeks old, you have to pay that and submit it to the courts.
