We’re uniquely qualified to walk you through every step of the process. Many of our case workers have been surrogates themselves, so they’ve been in your shoes and can share their experiences with you. Additionally, our agency has extensive experience in international surrogacy and has faced almost any possible situation — having that kind of experience by your side is worth its weight in gold. We also strive to make our process as simple and transparent as possible for everyone’s benefit.

Our base compensation package for a first-time surrogate mother starts at $45,000 and depending on various factors, you can earn more. These packages increase for an experienced surrogate.

In addition to your base, there’s additional compensation for situations such as carrying multiples (twins) or if you require a C-section. Any fees you incur in connection to the surrogacy are covered by the intended parents and are not deducted from the monies you earn.

California law requires that 100% of the surrogate compensation be held in escrow and distributed monthly throughout the pregnancy, with the remaining balance paid when the baby is born. Having the funds held in escrow ensures a safety net for both sides.

We’ll enroll you in a surrogate-friendly health insurance plan. The intended parents will pay all the fees associated with your insurance.

No, we’ll enroll you in a surrogate-friendly health insurance plan. The intended parents will pay all the fees associated with your insurance.

Yes, and your travel expenses are covered by the intended parent(s).

You’ll need to travel to the IVF clinic the parents have selected. Many of these clinics are in the Southern California area. You will only need to travel for the initial medical screening and the actual embryo transfer.

We can arrange all further appointments in a clinic closer to your home.

Unfortunately, no. Although we make the journey as simplified as possible, support is important for our surrogates. If you’re single, we do ask that you have a designated support partner of your choosing throughout the process.

No. You will work with just two people throughout your journey. You can reach them both by phone, email, or text message. Since the majority of our Surrogate Match Specialists and case managers have all been surrogates before, they understand the experience and also help guide a little bit better than perhaps someone who hasn’t undergone her own journey.

Intended parents are from all over the world. We work with Intended parents in many countries, all of whom are seeking surrogacy in California. Many parents cannot legally seek surrogacy in their home countries, making their infertility struggles even harder, so the United States is a great option for them. Typically our surrogates and intended parents will meet each other via a video call before moving forward with a match, if meeting in person isn’t a viable option.

Under California law for a surrogacy contract to be legally binding, the intended parents and the surrogate must each have representation by an independent legal counsel of their own choosing. We will help you with this process and ensure the contract is fair to both sides. That being said, your legal fees are covered by the intended parents.

We’ve never had that happen, but in the event that it did, the surrogacy contract is legally binding. The intended parents that we accept as clients are eager to become parents.

Physically speaking, the pregnancy is no different than a traditional pregnancy once your body accepts the pregnancy. Unlike your past pregnancies, you will need to medically trick your body into thinking it’s pregnant — this is necessary for your body to accept the transferred embryo. You will need to take hormone medication during this time until your body is producing the hormones on its own, usually around week 10 of the surrogacy pregnancy. Your case managers and medical providers will be there to answer any questions and support you in this process.

No, we do not. If you are not okay with carrying twins, only one embryo will be transferred. This can also be specified in your surrogacy contract between you and the intended parents.
