You may apply online by completing our online surrogate application form or call our office to set up an interview.

The maximum age to be a surrogate is 40 years old at delivery. The fertility clinic may not medically clear an individual that is older than this.

You must meet certain requirements to become a surrogate. This includes: be a U.S. Citizen or Legal Resident, 21-39 years old, given birth to at least 1 child to term with no major complications, no more than 3 C-sections, BMI under 32, non-smoker, non-drug user, financially stable and good physical and mental health.

Once your screenings are complete and you have signed your legal agreement with your Intended Parents, you will begin to fill out a reimbursement form and get paid in monthly installments. You will receive your payments due to you by the first week of the following month every month until you deliver the baby.

The Surrogate compensation varies by experience. Most Surrogates receive $45,000-$55,000 as their base compensation. There will be additional fees such as, monthly allowance, medication start fee, embryo transfer fee, twin compensation, clothing allowance, housekeeping/childcare, lost wages, etc.

Surrogates get paid an additional $10,000 for carrying twins plus additional $200.00 one-time fee of clothing allowance.

Since the surrogate’s eggs are not being used, a woman can become a gestational surrogate even if she has her tubes tied.

From sign-up to completion, the entire surrogacy process should take from 12-13 months. We do our best to match you as quickly as possible. It can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to 3 months to become match. Once you are matched, the screening process and legal contracts generally takes 3 months. Once cleared, medications before embryo transfer can take anywhere from 4-5 weeks.

We work with IVF clinics in various cities in California. Most of the clinics we work with are in San Diego or Los Angeles. If long distance travel is required, you will be compensated for your travel expenses.

No, as a gestational carrier you will have no genetic connection to the baby. The eggs will be from either the Intended mother or an egg donor. You are just the oven =)

Once you are pregnant and released by the IVF clinic, you will be able to schedule and continue as a normal pregnancy. This means choosing your OB and hospital local to you, if it’s approved by your insurance provider. We will also have recommendations if needed.
