1. Overview of surrogacy prices in China in 2026
As of 2026, due to legal restrictions on domestic surrogacy, legal operations are mostly concentrated in overseas compliance areas. The following is a reference for average prices in mainstream areas (including domestic gray markets):
- Domestic (non-compliant intermediary): The whole process is about RMB 480,000-750,000, including medical, compensation, agency and other expenses, but the legal risk is extremely high.
- Thailand (such as Thailand's onelife Wanlai Reproductive Center): about 550,000-850,000 yuan, three-generation test tube + legal surrogacy, transparent process.
- Kyrgyzstan (such as Tulip Reproductive Center/Kyrgyz Tulip): about 380,000-550,000 yuan, high cost performance and complete legal protection.
- United States: About 1.2-2 million yuan, with top-notch medical technology but the highest cost.

2. Core factors affecting surrogacy costs
