​

  • When you take advantage of either our full service surrogacy program or our full service egg donation program, and you make the decision to act quickly - within 45 days of your initial consultation with us - then we will take $500 - $3,000 off of our program base fee. This reduces the program fee to $5,500 (Egg Donation Program Fee) / $19,000 (Surrogacy Program Fee).

​

Fast-Track Profile (FTP) Credit                ( - $1,000 off Surrogacy Program / - $500 off Egg Donation Program )

​

  • If you complete and submit your full parent profile packet as well as submit to all initial screening within 14 days of completing your initial pre-profile questionnaire, then we will take an additional $500-$1000 off of your program fee, reducing it to only $5,000 (Egg Donation Program Fee) / $18,000 (Surrogacy Program Fee) - considering the other discounts above have also been applied.

​
