What is a Surrogate?
A surrogate is a woman who carries and delivers a baby for individuals or couples who are unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy on their own. Surrogacy allows people to fulfill their dreams of becoming parents by relying on the generosity and commitment of a surrogate mother.
There are two types of surrogacy:
Gestational Surrogacy: In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate carries an embryo created using the intended parents' or donors' egg and sperm through in vitro fertilization (IVF). The surrogate has no genetic link to the baby.
Traditional Surrogacy: In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate’s own egg is fertilized using the intended father’s or donor’s sperm, making her the biological mother of the baby. However, this type of surrogacy is less common due to legal and emotional complexities.
Surrogates play an invaluable role in helping families grow, often creating lasting bonds with the intended parents and experiencing the joy of bringing life into the world for those who otherwise couldn't.
We encourage open, respectful conversations between surrogates and intended parents. You’ll always be fully informed and supported before, during, and after the match meeting.
We value the strength and compassion it takes to be a surrogate. That’s why we offer a rewarding compensation package starting at $65,000, with opportunities to earn over $100,000 through additional benefits and bonuses.
You’ll never be left wondering. We stay in touch regularly, answer your questions quickly, and keep you informed at every milestone.
What sets us apart is our commitment to personal attention. From start to finish, you’ll be supported by the same coordinator, who personally oversees your case and is available to guide you every step of the way.
