Gosh, your video is amazing, Im an ovarian cancer survivor. At age 13 I had a full hysterectomy and now that my fiancé and I are researching surrogacy I never imagined it would be such an emotional journey. I cried so much during this video because it seems sooo unattainable. I hope to be in your shoes one day. Thank you again.
I have always said I wanted to do this. Its cool to finally start looking at it and learning about the process even tho im not quite ready today. So thank you guys for sharing this very detailed video and congratulations on your twins 💜💜
This level of openness will help a lot of individuals and their dreams. Exclusive and informative presented with lots of fun to soften the blow. I must say that just before the final cost reveal, I had to open a second bottle of bourbon! God bless you and your amazing family.
Thanks, David! Definitely tried to soften the blow as much as we could with some comedy because its a soft pill to swallow. Glad that showed. Hope you're not too drunk, haha! 😉 We appreciate all the love! ❤
Wow! What a woman! The hormones, the emotions, the responsibility; can money really buy that? Your babies are truly gifts of 💕 love 💕 to you. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your journey to parenthood. 😊
So informative guys. Thank you so much for the people who are seeking this for themselves. I have not seen this honest information anywhere until now. God Bless you all.❤
Appreciate all of your guys’ videos! All are a huge eye opener for so many of us that are researching this process. This vid was so informative! You two are a huge inspiration for us lgbt individuals that want to start a family. Thank you!!
150,000 is a lot of money 💰, but you got your hearts desire ♥ NOW LOOK AT YOUR FAMILY???? YOU ARE HAPPY, LIKE YOU WON A MILLION, WHICH YOU DID. IF YOU COULD SEE THE SMILE,OR JOY ON YOUR FACES ,WHEN YOU LOOK AND KISS YOUR TWINS .IT IS PRICELESS. ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY. THANKS FOR SHARING.
They're priceless! This video was made to help others wanting to pursue a surrogacy journey and inquiring on costs, because ultimately there is a cost to it, but our boys are priceless to us.
A cpuple of beautiful, amazing boys are priceless. The cost is merely a process and what you got....uh.....way, way beyond the value of money. Looking forward for the next, next phases.
We couldn't agree more! Just sharing so others can get an idea of what it does cost, should they want to follow our footsteps. Thanks for the love! We appreciate it! ❤
Well i know its expensive and ive already done so much research so i do onow that expenses vary. Since i am so young i can be saving now so that i dont have to push so hard when im ready to have kids. But still EVERY SINGLE TIME I HEAR THE PRICE MY HEART!!!! MY CHEAP HEART!!!! IT HURTS!!!! SO BADD!!!!🤣😭
What a great thing you are doing! Preparing early so you're not caught off-guard! It's definitely not an easy endeavor to take on! Thanks for the love! ❤
I went the Eastern European route, which is much cheaper (about a third of the price). However, what I had not reckoned on was how much I would have to pay British lawyers to get him home and to get a parental order. That will cost another £30,000. An unjustified and extortionate expense IMO.
Absolutely! Best money ever spent. Can't really put a price on it for us but for the sake of the journey, there is a cost. Thanks for all the love, Tom! ❤
Wonderful story guys ❤. Question I don’t think you mentioned the name of the clinic, the one you in Boca Raton. Can you please provide the name? Thanks
Aww dont give up bud just keep saving little by little out of every paycheck and after time youll be able to achieve your dream. I know thats not really an issue for me since im so young i have plenty of time to save but others dont have such privilege. Hope evrything works out
Never give up on your dreams. There are ways around the cost and organizations that can help, including covering many expenses related to surrogacy. Men Having Babies is a great organization that offers grants you can apply for that help with this process. Check them out for more information.
@@TheMarzoaFamily Thank you very much for the encouragement! I live in Portugal and nothing is easy here. We have already tried adoption, but it takes 8 to 10 years. We are on the waiting list, but it will be difficult. The supports here are non-existent. It remains for me to be happy with families like yours that I accompany. A tight hug
I have never ever seen such contented babies! You are both so dedicated and attentive. You are one of the happiest gay families I have ever seen. You can teach all parents a wonderful lesson on perfect parenting! Love to you all. The twins are blessed! Love to you all
Omg we love your videos so much ❤️ My fiancee and I are getting married & starting our fertility journey very soon ☺️ already freaking out but saving as much as we can 💪🏽🙏
Guys I love the way you both explained the process. Me and my husband want to continue the process one day and we also live in a Florida, I would like to see if you guys can share information about the clinics and resources you both use 🙏🏽 we started the process in California but definitely way more expensive that’s what you’ve expended.
We wanted someone local to us so we can take part in the entire process and go to clinic and doc appointments and be close enough so we could be attend birth, which we did. Worth every penny in our minds. Everything changes once you leave the country as well. Much more complex for paperwork, citizenship, etc. and that wasn’t what we wanted. :)
Thank you so much for sharing the information with us. They are super important to for because I am also thinking about having a kid/kids of my own. Your movie gave me a direction to work on.
You have to have all the money ready to go but you can separate the earlier parts until you do. For instance, you can do the egg retrieval and freeze embryos me then take a break and wait for the surrogacy component, but for the most part, you need all the money ready for a smooth process. You pay as the process proceeds so it’s not all upfront but you’ll be paying every week or two as required. There will be a payment schedule to be followed via an escrow company.
How did you both afford this?! We are trying to start are family and we are going to need an egg donor and gestational carrier. Without taking out a loan we are going to be saving up for years to accomplish this goal.
Hi there! We saved for quite a bit and we did pull the rest from equity in our home. It was the only feasible way without having to wait a century to save it all. We were lucky to have a home we bought early before marriage that had a good amount of equity.
@@TheMarzoaFamily actually can I apologize for that question I posted it then went off about my day but thought about it afterwards and thought damn that was a personal question to ask. Il happily delete it if you would prefer that x
For people panicking you need to understand that this should inspire you to have good credit because of good credit you can get loans and you won’t have to pay this out-of-pocket, so what can your credit go to college?be successful and have a credit I just overall just have a credit because w good credit you can get loans and what have you and you won’t have to pay all the stuff. Just a word of advice …
Thx for sharing this.For somebody who can afford this budget. its fine. Personnelly i can afford for that but as a humanright activist aswell i think life should be easier for everybody. It shouldnt be a business. Anyways i am happy for both of you. you guys deserved that ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 sending love from Thailand.
Hello my wife and I have just started our journey and are on the egg bank selection portion. When I see the amount y’all had spent that seems to also fit our budget cost. For that price was it a single lot of eggs? I see a lot that only offer a multiple lot plans, and we would like to know if one could also work. Thank you and congratulations on your boys it’s truly such a blessing!
Im not sure how to answer your question. We used an egg donor and did one retrieval from her. We paid for all the eggs for ourselves to increase our odds. It was a fresh donation, not from a frozen egg bank. The more eggs you can get, the better your odds are of success. I’m not familiar with single lot and multiple lot but whichever gives you the most would be the best option. Hope that helps!
As a mom to twins, I think any amount paid to a surrogate would be a bargain- growing two humans is INCREDIBLY taxing. And I had a great pregnancy and birth! Sounds like you planned well as a couple and have been blessed with a wonderful family ❤️
Definitely agree. She deserves the whole World in our eyes. It was very taxing on her and we are eternally grateful to her and her family. It was no easy feat. She is part of our family now and will always be. ❤️❤️
Muchas gracias! Nuestros hijos no tienen precio. Este video es solo para ayudar a otros que desean emprender un proceso similar al de nosotros! Gracias por su cariño y apoyo! ❤❤
I am not an especially healthy person, but I got working lady bits I’m not using. Apart from any medical costs, I wouldn’t want any compensation to give a loving couple the child they’ve always wanted. Got nothing else going on in my life, so if you’re looking for an oven, I got one ;)
@@TheMarzoaFamily to be honest, it’d be REALLY nice to not get cramps for a few months too… whenever I don’t get my uterus pregnant, it throws a massive hissy fit and hurts like a b :P
I am in Jupiter, FL and I am interested to know what agency you used. I have just been told I am not able to have children (while actively trying for the past year). I feel very very overwhelmed!
Hello I’m in Florida and I wanted to know what agency did you guys use? I’ve heard horror stories about the risks of surrogacy, but you guy’s success gives me hope.
The entire process. Again, this was back in 2019-2020. It has increased a bit from that figure and it all depends on how successful your process is first time around. We know of people who have spent twice that and still don't have a baby, so luck plays into it as well.
I have a few questions hopefully they can get answered My sister is willing to carry my baby if I’m not able to but I want to use my egg and my husband’s sperm with that said is the process more expensive or less as well do I have to pay everything up front or dose is it by payment methods if possible
We have an idea based on how they look, but we haven't done any testing, and its just not something we really need to do. We love them both equally, so it doesn't matter. :)
Hi there this video is so helpful!!! Me and my husband are actually discussing about the cost now. And this sets an expectation. Thank You!!! I have question tho, i wanted to ask things for clarification. Not sure if i understand it correctly, so you two where the sperm donors right, like 1 of each and then 1 egg donor. Form 2 embryos with each of y’alls sperm and injected to 1 surrogate only? When i ask our agency they said they cannot do that it has to be 2 different surrogate. So it is possible to have 1 surrogate carrying the twins?
Yes, that is exactly how we did it. One egg donor, we are both the sperm donors, using one surrogate. Not all clinics will follow through with this because there is always a small chance of a split and you can end up with triplets or quadruplets if they both split. Multiple births are also more risky and increase your chances of a NICU stay, which happened to us. Our hospital bill was about $150k, so make sure you have good insurance to cover all, if not most of this. Hope that was helpful!
Yes, they provided us with all that information about our donor and much more as well. We knew a lot about her family and their medical history and appearance as well (height, weight, eye color, hair color, occupation, etc.).
I had to have my uterus removed after the last baby i had. I am now looking into surrogacy to complete our family, this video was so educational and so helpful to me, thank you so very much ❤
@@TracyPerkins-dy7fm we are looking into adoption as well but i want more biological children as well so surrogacy is definately in our plans, or uterus transplant surgery. ✌
We were able to use her insurance because her policy didn’t have a surrogacy exclusion, which most do, so we lucked out. We did pay all copays for prenatal after IVF clinic and once boys were born they were put on our insurance for NICU stay and we had to pay some of her birth fees as well but we had a primary and secondary policy which covered our boys completely. That NICU bill was more than the entire surrogacy process so it’s worth having good insurance.
Why is that all gay man have beautiful taste in everything? House, clothes, furniture and you name it. I also follow Dustin and Burton raising buffaloes. They are amazing couple and parents just like you guys. My hairstylist is gay and he does the best job.
Thank you guys for the detailed cost structure. Hope to soon have a baby(s) with my partner. Love watching your journey videos. You have a lovely family. Happy Christmas 🎄
Absolutely! Our pleasure. Happy to help anyone wanting ot pursue a journey. Best of luck to you and your partner! Happy Holidays to you and yours as well! ❤

I will be doing my 3rd Fet next month. The first two we lost it. :( we talked about surrogacy, but we can't afford it. 😔
I totally agree every parent should take the psychological testing. There would be less abuse.
💯! Should be mandatory!

Also what medical insurance company did you use to provide for your surrogate and was it hard to find?
Holy shit... That's sooo unfair. For hetero couples it's almost for free... Still worth it I guess
After this video never ever agin think about the money. They are yours and they were wanted loved and perfect xxx

We thought the same exact thing and we made it happen. Hopeful it works out for you. Best of luck.
Did you guys have to pay all of that upfront or do they give you some time
You have to have all the money ready to go but you can separate the earlier parts until you do.

We used Family Formers, which is out of Palm Beach/ Jupiter.

We used Family Formers in Florida.
You need surrogat Please contact me
Very informative! Thank you for sharing.
Happy to share! Thank you for the feedback!
thank you for this. i must start working overtime now lol.
You got this!
so the whole process from getting the egg to surrogacy was $150k? or was it just the Surrogacy was 150k?
The entire process. Again, this was back in 2019-2020. It has increased a bit from that figure and it all depends on how successful your process is first time around. We know of people who have spent twice that and still don't have a baby, so luck plays into it as well.
Y'all are amazing dads and such a beautiful family!💜💙
Thank you so much!
I have a few questions hopefully they can get answered
My sister is willing to carry my baby if I’m not able to but I want to use my egg and my husband’s sperm with that said is the process more expensive or less as well do I have to pay everything up front or dose is it by payment methods if possible
I would say it’s a little less expensive if your sister is carrying. A lot is upfront but in steps.
I'm going to offer surrogacy next year. Thinking no agency would be best for everyone. Just attorney and contract and add water bam.. family.
May I ask how you do it without an agency? Thanks. I plan do surrogacy as well.
Great video 🤝🤝❤
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I wanna try this, I wanna help a family who's can't make a baby surrogate mothers are a blessing
You are amazing and I’m sure will be an incredible blessing for a family! ❤️
do you guys know which of the twins is your baby? i bet as the babies get older, you would know..
We have an idea based on how they look, but we haven't done any testing, and its just not something we really need to do. We love them both equally, so it doesn't matter. :)
Por favor me encantan, no hablo inglés, y no se pueden traducir sus videos me ayudan????
Is crazy how expensive is it , I wonder if it that expensive for lesbians couples
its probably cheaper, if they used their own eggs, and they carry the babies, definitely more cheaper for them

Also last question was your surrogate a known friend or from the agency as well. Thaaaanks again and more power to your fam!
Thank for your amazing informations. Can we know about historical medical record, education, and appearance of egg donors?

Cost?
All costs are in video. :)
I want to have my own children thru surrogacy
That's wonderful! Start planning, its a process that takes 2-3 years at a minimum. ❤❤
So for us regular people if we wanted surrogates we just just can’t afford it😢😢
We are regular people as well. We saved, pulled loans and did whatever necessary to make it happen. Never give up.

Hi, did the surrogate use her own insurance for prenatal visits and delivery and you guys paid for her copayment, deductibles etc? Thank you
We were able to use her insurance because her policy didn’t have a surrogacy exclusion, which most do, so we lucked out. We did pay all copays for prenatal after IVF clinic and once boys were born they were put on our insurance for NICU stay and we had to pay some of her birth fees as well but we had a primary and secondary policy which covered our boys completely. That NICU bill was more than the entire surrogacy process so it’s worth having good insurance.
@@TheMarzoaFamily I see. Thank you very much.
OMG! There are 4 lucky boys in your household and all good looking!
Thank you!
$149,741 well spent i say

I hope you guys wrote it off on your taxes!
You can't write-off surrogacy in your taxes. Not possible.
So, total cost??

You need surrogat Please contact me
can the surrogate woman take back the child if she wishes to in future ?
No, she cannot. She is not biological to them. She was their gestational carrier only, meaning no biological tie, just the oven for them to grow in.
@@TheMarzoaFamily pregnancy is a biological tie, she made those babies. You just paid.
@@elenarey6375 She grew them inside her, yes, but they were first created and then transferred into her uterus with donated eggs. She’s not biological to them. What’s your point?
Omg almost 7.5 M in Philippine money
But totally worth it because of super cute 🥰 babies..they are priceless ❤️❤️❤️
I love this!!
Thank you! ❤
