Become a Surrogate
Make a Dream Come True
As a surrogate, you’re helping those struggling to grow their family have the child of their dreams.
A Beautiful Experience
There’s nothing quite like being a surrogate and giving the gift of life. Most say being a surrogate was the best and most significant experience of their life.
Generous Compensation
While it’s not often the #1 reason people become surrogates, you are compensated generously, usually between $45,000 and $70,000.
Fast Facts
- Not Genetically Related
Our surrogates do NOT use their own eggs to create the babies they carry and are thus NOT genetically related to the baby.
- $$$$$$
Our surrogates are paid throughout the entirety of the process. Payments start after medical clearance and continue at regular intervals until delivery. Most surrogates take home $45,000-$70,000.
- The Choice is Yours
Surrogates have the final say as to whom they are matched with, meaning you’ll never be carrying a pregnancy for someone you’re uncomfortable with.
- Farewell
Surrogates must hand the baby over to the intended parents. Surrogates feel a great deal of pride in acting as a surrogate and are especially happy when they see the parents hold their child for the first time, which would not be possible without the generous help of the surrogate, who made it all possible by giving the gift of life. Surrogates do get to meet the baby and say goodbye. Many of our surrogates develop a great relationship with the parents and continue to get updates regarding the baby long after their surrogacy journey is completed.
Surrogate Requirements
Surrogacy is a truly beautiful experience, but there is a lot at stake, so there are strict requirements to act as a gestational carrier with surrogate steps. Here are the requirements to become a surrogate:
- Age
You must be between the ages of 23 and 41. Maturity is key.

You must have no history of alcohol or illicit drug abuse.
- No Tobacco and Marijuana Use
You must be free of tobacco, marijuana, vaping, or any smoking for a minimum of 6 months.
- Proven Birth Record
You must have a minimum of one child who was born without pregnancy or delivery complications. Experienced surrogates get an extra 5K in compensation per previous successful surrogacy.
- Good Health
You must be in good health. You’ll need to obtain medical clearance for pregnancy from your OBGYN and pass a reproductive health exam by a fertility doctor. Don’t worry, we’ll help coordinate all of this.
- Strong Support Network
Surrogates must have support of their family. If married or in a long term relationship, the surrogate must have their partner’s support.

Surrogates must be willing to travel and be away from home for multiple days at a time without their children. On average, surrogates are away from home for 3-6 days.
