Your Compensation, Explained
A complete breakdown of what you can expect before, during, and after your surrogacy journey.
Pre-Pregnancy Compensation
Before pregnancy begins, you'll be reimbursed and compensated for your time and commitment with:
- $2,500 or more in stipends for screening clearance, embryo transfer, and non-accountable monthly allowances.
You'll never pay out of pocket for medical or screening bills; these are fully covered by your Intended Parents and the health insurance plan they provide for you.
Do you already have surrogacy-friendly health insurance? That often means an even higher base pay for you!
Pregnancy Compensation
Once you're pregnant, your base pay is paid out in monthly installments:
- $2,000 after the first confirmation of fetal heartbeat.
- Then, the rest of your base pay is paid out in 8 equal monthly payments.
You'll also receive a Monthly Stipend to cover essentials like:
- Healthy food and prenatal vitamins.
- Mileage for local appointments.
- Childcare during appointments.
- Pregnancy-related supplies like maternity clothes, lotions, or pillows.
Just like your base compensation, this stipend is designed to support your wellbeing; no receipts or tracking required!
Post-Pregnancy & Additional
Your total compensation package reflects the incredible gift you're giving. Depending on your journey, you may be eligible for even more:
- $5,000 for an initial embryo transfer with Intended Parents who have fewer than three embryos available (our Under Three Program).
- $1,000 for each additional embryo transfer, if needed.
- $3,000 if a C-section is necessary.
- Lost Wages will be reimbursed at their actual rate for pregnancy-related absences.
Plus, additional support and coverage for unique circumstances:
- Full bed rest coverage, including lost wages and childcare/housekeeping support.
- Partner support compensation, if they need time off to care for you.
- Four weeks of post-delivery recovery for vaginal delivery and eight weeks for a C-section delivery.
Your wellbeing matters to us.
Every detail of your compensation package is designed with your comfort and peace of mind in focus.
