I was curious to know what the typical fee is for a contract ( Egg Donor and Surrogacy). My sister has offered her eggs and if that doesn't work then she has offered to carry. I am in Ontario and she is in Alberta. Would both parties have to meet with the lawyer in person?
Thanks

I have contacted several different fert. lawyers for surrogacy and the contract quotes ranged from $3,500 to $5,000. I was told to budget 10K for pre and post baby legal costs.
I don't think all parties need to meet for the legal end of things. Each couple has their own lawyer and the lawyers would go back and forth if need be to finalize the contract. The surrogate's legal fees would be around 750-1,000 to review the contract on her behalf.
I never hired a lawyer for my egg donation. We wrote our own simple contract. All parties could sign and get it notarized by a lawyer.
Good luck!

Hi,
Would a surrogacy agreement (traditional surrogacy - the surrogate mother to be implanted with the embryo of the bio parents) be accepted if the parties draft it themselves and get it notarized by a lawyer?
Also, what's the fee for declaration of parentage and does it increase year after year?
My sister will be the surrogate mother in my situation (the egg and sperm are mine and my husband's and we have frozen embryos waiting to be implanted) we both live in Ajax, Ontario.
thank you.

May 11, 2014 - 6 embryos frozen
