Questions regarding surrogate compensation are among the most frequently asked. We pride ourselves in offering generous compensation packages with many additional benefits and expenses paid throughout the journey.

Throughout your entire journey, you’ll receive care packages, tokens of appreciation, and commemorative keepsakes as we celebrate each milestone with you!

What surrogates are paid before the pregnancy

At the beginning of your surrogacy journey, there will be several appointments to get you prepared for transfer. We’ll make sure that you are compensated for all of your time and effort, even before you’re pregnant.

Payments made before the embryo transfer include:

• Paid travel expenses to IVF clinics, plus lost wages and childcare if needed
• $500 for mock cycle, when applicable, during medical clearance
• $500 at the start of injectable medications
• $1,000 embryo transfer fee

What surrogates are paid during and after pregnancy

Once your pregnancy is confirmed, you’ll begin receiving your “base compensation” along with a number of other benefits.

As a first-time Family Source Consultants Gestational Surrogate, you can expect to receive a base compensation of $50,000+ (experienced surrogates are entitled to increased compensation for each successful surrogacy!), with additional benefits that could add up to $70,000 or more. Your total compensation package is dependent on various factors including your state of residence, the number of babies you are carrying, and other additional factors.

The Emotional Rewards… Priceless.

We fully understand that the financial benefits of helping a couple or individual build their family are often a primary factor for women when first contemplating becoming a surrogate. The compensation package is significant enough to be life-changing, but we promise you, the emotional rewards are even more than you can imagine! The gift you will give by carrying and delivering a child into their loving parents’ arms is too powerful an experience to capture with words.
