Looking Into Surrogacy
Adoption was now out of the question for them. They focused on surrogacy instead. The two started to research about it but found out the average cost was even higher at $75,000. Yikes!

Surprising New York Surrogacy Laws
They were also surprised to learn about the New York laws on surrogacy. The couple did not expect that it would be illegal for them to hire a surrogate in the state. To make things work, they had to look for someone who resided outside the state. This was going to make things difficult since they would have to pay for gas to and from the hospital. Ideally, they wanted someone who lived near them.
