Understanding Surrogacy Needs in the United States

At Hold Hope, we recognize the complexities and challenges surrounding the pursuit of surrogacy and egg donation for women and couples aspiring to expand their families. Below are some statistics shedding light on the landscape of surrogacy needs in the United States:

  1. The Growing Demand for Surrogacy

According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the demand for surrogacy services has been steadily increasing over the past decade.

The number of gestational surrogacy arrangements has risen by approximately 35% in recent years.

  1. Financial Implications

The cost of surrogacy can be substantial. On average, a full surrogacy journey can range between $90,000 to $130,000 or more in the United States. These expenses include medical procedures, agency fees, legal costs, compensation for the surrogate, and other related expenses.

  1. Fertility Challenges

Fertility issues impact many individuals and couples, prompting them to explore alternative options such as surrogacy and egg donation. 

Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that around 6.7 million women in the U.S. face challenges with getting or staying pregnant.

  1. Access to Support

Unfortunately, financial constraints often pose significant barriers to individuals and couples considering surrogacy or egg donation. Hold Hope is dedicated to bridging this gap by providing vital financial assistance and comprehensive support to those navigating the journey of surrogacy.
