Thanks. I wonder how they set the fees.
God bless women who decide to be a surrogate for someone....that can't be easy. $5k for "loss of uterus" hardly seems sufficient.

I usually assume they throw extras their way because these fees seem so low.
I am positive that the baby is Kim and kanyes biological child so Kim supplied the eggs
If I were Kim, this is exactly who I would NOT want to be my surrogate--a KUWTK fanatic. Might not hand over the child all that willingly when the time comes.
As for the money, I few episodes ago on Shahs, Reza & Adam were at a surrogate agency and the dollar amounts being tossed around were in the $120,000 range. Reza was floored.
Yeah, I remember that episode.
That amount seems more reasonable, especially from high profiles.
All these prices sound very low. Did they get this woman at surrogates are us? Or did they just go out on the street and find someone that looked like Kim and say hey want to carry these eggs?
In some places pay is capped but then you can pay for things like their housing and food and other things that benefit the mother correct? If it benefits the mom and contributes to the health and well being of the child it doesn’t count to what you’re paying them. A lot of things could be rolled into that category.
I agree that all these amounts seem very low for someone to have a child for you. But these women do it for altruistic reasons, essentially the money is secondary, it has to be altruistic first. 15 years ago when I was pursuing surrogacy it was going to cost 45,000, which seems like a low amount, given that someone's carrying a human life for another person. There are a lot of added on expenses on the surrogate's behalf but a lot of those expenses the surrogate wouldn't bet utilizing if she wasn't carrying a baby for somebody. Also keep in mind that a surrogate that goes through an agency, the agency is also taking a big cut, or I should say they shouldn't be making money that nears the amount the surrogate would be making if that makes sense. We did not have a successful surrogacy journey, yet a lot of monies were spent pursuing the surrogacy pregnancy. Expenses associated with the surrogacy are separate from the surrogates fee of carrying a baby, however it benefits surrogate. Every medical visit has a different amount associated with it besides the fee of carrying the baby, the surrogate gets paid as you go through your medical journey separately from her fee. Surrogates who pursues a surrogacy relationship can set her own fee amounts Etc.
The president of the company I interned at last summer had a surrogate and I heard he and his husband paid well over $100k and they offered her to stay at one of their residences in Toronto. Don't know how true it is but that's what everyone in the office was talking about and if they paid her over $100k then Kimye can def afford to pay the same if not more.
In the U.S. each state sets the laws around how much and even if you can pay a surrogate or if surrogacy is even legal in that state. Based on the link shared previously, it looks like the price they paid was in line with another agency. It may be the going rate on CA for surrogates.
I love the red mink coat she wears on the cover. It really suits her. I think she wears a wig on that pic too though??
And $100k is just the cash. Probably a few nice gifts too.
Why not if they can afford it and they found the perfect woman to carry their child. Treat her well.
