Your remarkable contribution deserves recognition – empower your decision by setting your own price.
As assisted reproductive technology (ART) practices, such as surrogacy, become more mainstream, the need for quality surrogates continues to rise. At Southern Surrogacy, we value the exceptional sacrifice that surrogates make in helping an individual or couple realize their dream of having a baby. The gift of life that surrogates provide is priceless, making it all the more crucial that the surrogate’s time and effort are recognized and fairly compensated. At Southern Surrogacy, we offer surrogates the opportunity to negotiate and set their own compensation fees.
Knowing Your Worth as a Surrogate
Pregnancy is accompanied by many physical and emotional demands; compensation is given in exchange for a surrogate’s dedication and sacrifice. Our surrogates tell us that they use the money for things like investing in a new home, setting up a college fund for their children, and paying off debt.
Surrogates receive several types of payments totaling approximately $48,000 – $55,000 for first time surrogates and much higher for repeat surrogates. But the amounts can vary depending on several factors such as geographic location, medical history, surrogacy experience, and other factors. The types of payment you will receive as a surrogate include:
- A competitive base pay paid in monthly installments after pregnancy is confirmed
- Additional monthly payments to compensate for issues like lost wages (these payments may be based on the circumstances of the pregnancy)
- Reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses during pregnancy (e.g., travel costs, maternity clothing, and other costs)
- A flat fee reimbursement for medical screenings, a contract signing bonus, a C-section delivery, and other considerations
- A bonus for repeat surrogate pregnancies (i.e., $5,000+ per pregnancy)
