Surrogate mother: Like many others, Marty and Melinda Rangers found it difficult to start a family due to their busy careers. But after making some money in real estate and taking early retirement, the couple moved to the Caribbean. Where they felt like they were ready to bring their child into the world. However, after turning 40 and finding local medical care in their new location “unreliable,” they decided to give up on the option of having a child through IVF and instead pursue surrogacy or a surrogate mother.
Marty and Melinda spent “hundreds of hours researching” this. But when they caught their chosen surrogate drinking, the dramatic moment turned their dreams of parenthood into a nightmare. The couple contacted a new but reputable surrogacy agency in California. Who introduced him to a young woman. This was “trustworthy on paper and pleasant on the phone.” Both parties then underwent a psychological test and the surrogate passed the medical examination. The couple’s embryos were then transferred to the surrogate mother through an IVF clinic.
Surrogacy fees are around $100,000
Marty said the surrogacy fee was about $100,000. It “donated $30,000 to the agency, $65,000 to the surrogate and $5,000 for legal fees.” As part of the deal, Marty and his wife had to sign a contract with their surrogate “that was about 40 pages long and there were things in those agreements “that you would never even think about.”

Strict surrogacy contract
Marty explained some points of the contract and revealed that “the use of drugs and alcohol during pregnancy is strictly prohibited.” It is also forbidden to leave the country. Domestic air travel is only possible with a medical certificate. “Surrogates are not even allowed to leave the state in the final trimester and are not allowed to have a new sexual partner without prior consent.” However, Marty said, “It was a very difficult decision, but his trust was broken.”
