FAQs

Yes. Surrogates typically receive a portion of the compensation that is distributed pre pregnancy when certain milestones are reached, the rest distributed monthly once pregnancy is achieved. Payments are clearly outlined in your legal contract, so you’ll always know what to expect and when.

Compensation depends on several factors, including where you live, whether it’s your first or a repeat journey, the type of pregnancy (singleton or multiples), and the program that you are qualified for. In some states like California, compensation is often higher due to local demand and progressive laws.

Absolutely. Many women choose to have more than one surrogacy journey. In fact, repeat surrogates often receive a higher compensation package because of their previous experience. Most clinics recommend waiting at least 6 months after a vaginal delivery and 12-18 months after a c-section delivery before beginning another surrogacy journey. This gives your body time to heal and ensures you’re ready physically and emotionally for another safe, supported experience.

Women who are healthy, have had at least one successful pregnancy of their own, and meet basic medical and lifestyle requirements can apply. Our team will guide you through the screening process to confirm eligibility.

Every journey is unique, but most surrogacy processes take between 12 and 18 months from application to delivery. Factors like medical clearance, matching, and the embryo transfer timeline can affect the length.

From the moment you apply, you’ll have a dedicated coordinator, access to trusted medical and legal guidance, professional psychological support and emotional care along the way. We also connect you with a community of other surrogates, so you’re supported by women who truly understand this experience.

All medical, legal, and related costs are fully covered by the intended parents. This includes your attorney fees, medical screening, fertility treatments, maternity care, and insurance coverage.

Yes! Matching is always mutual. We’ll present you with intended parent profiles, and you’ll have the opportunity to choose who feels right for you. The intended parents must also feel the same, so it’s a true partnership from the start.

If that happens, your clinic will work with you on preparing for another transfer, with all costs covered by the intended parents. Your legal contract will also outline how many transfer attempts are included.

In the US, surrogacy is usually commercial, which means surrogates receive compensation for their time and commitment. In some other countries, surrogacy is altruistic, meaning surrogates are only reimbursed for expenses. Both arrangements honor surrogates, but in the US, compensation is an important part of the process.
