The news that one of the most famous Serbian singers, Marija Šerifović, became a mother hit the public like a bombshell. She received her son Mario on December 2 through a surrogate mother in the United States, and this is how much money Maria had to allocate for the whole process.
In an American agency for surrogacy, they state that the average price ranges from 130,000 to 160,000 dollars, writes Blitz.
"International surrogacy can cost as little as $50,000 in Eastern Europe or South America, but finding a reliable agency requires some research and guidance and costs much more in the United States," the American agency explains.
Average costs include: clinical fees, surrogate compensation, legal fees and agency fees. Expectant parents should also set aside a portion of the budget to compensate egg donors and fertility drugs, as well as travel expenses (which are not included in these estimates), the agency added.
