Benefits of Surrogacy in Canada
There are a number of benefits while seeking a surrogacy arrangement in Canada and cost is the biggest of them all. whilst the surrogacy arrangement in USA costs up to $120,000, same can only be practiced in Canada for around $70, 000.Moroever, the baby which gets born out of the surrogacy arrangement is eligible for the Canadian citizenship and the intended parents can soon fly back to their own country with the baby’s Canadian passport alongside.
Canada also offers national health care service, which covers up all the charges in relation to the surrogate and the delivery process. This can help both the intended parents and the surrogate mother big time in saving lot of money for all those treatments during the pregnancy. However the same social security service doesn’t cover up the child of a foreign citizens, so every cost in relation to NICU care or an incubator (in case of a premature delivery) comes as the sole responsibility of the intended parents.
