There is no question that having a child through surrogacy is expensive. Financing options exist to make surrogacy an option for those with limited finances. It is helpful to take a look at some of the individual costs that contribute to the overall fees in order to best understand the expenses associated with surrogacy.
#### **IVF/ART**
Taking time to research in-vitro fertilization and assisted reproductive technologies and what they involve and can achieve is extraordinary. While these services are becoming increasingly popular and accessible, their costs remain high. Consider all the processes involved: hormone injections to optimize ovulation, egg retrieval, fertilizing the egg, monitoring the fertilized egg to ensure it develops into an embryo, hormone injections for the gestational surrogate to sync her menstrual cycle, transferring the embryo, frequent visits to the clinic to monitor hormone levels, whether or not the transplant was successful, etc. One doctor may be directly assigned to a couple, but several technicians, nurses and/or specialists are needed to monitor the various methods. Additionally, egg and sperm donors are often used. Preserving the eggs and sperm is another involved procedure that clinics need to fund.

Reproductive challenges are not uncommon, and people are becoming more and more comfortable discussing their experiences. Celebrities are no exception, and many are feeling compelled to share their stories of how their children were born through surrogacy.
#### **Guiliana and Bill Rancic**
The Rancic’s may be one of the better known celebrity couples who struggled to grow their family. The couple had a popular reality television show that exposed both their struggles to get pregnant and Guiliana’s battle with breast cancer. America celebrated with Bill and Guiliana once the cancer was in remission and they were able to welcome the birth of their son, Duke, thanks to a gestational carrier. The couple tried to give Duke a sibling. Unfortunately, their additional attempts resulted in miscarriages and they were not able to have another child of their own.
