How much a surrogate makes will depend on a number of different factors.
Gestational carriers are typically provided a base compensation, following confirmation of pregnancy, between $25,000 to $50,000 for their time and effort throughout the pregnancy. In addition to the base compensation, all out-of-pocket, lost wages, childcare, medical and travel expenses will also be covered. Additionally, TPI’s fee structure is in place to provide incentives along the way including a signing bonus along with compensation for medical clearance, starting related medications, endometrial scratch, cervical dilation, mock cycle and more.
The actual amount of surrogate mother pay will be based on a number of personal factors including if you are a first time or repeat gestational carrier. Repeat gestational carriers usually receive significantly more than a first-time gestational carrier. Whether you have applicable health insurance for pregnancy and delivery will also affect the proposed base compensation.
When it comes to the compensation, items like reimbursements for ongoing medical tests and expenses, travel, insurance, child care, etc. are all important elements that can add up to a big difference for all surrogates.
Compensation is an important part of the process. But there are also many other important things to take into consideration - like the level or personal attention you receive (with the same agency representative), the agency's success in matching surrogates with good Intended Parents, the support you receive throughout the surrogacy journey, etc.
Tomorrow’s Parents International strongly believes in transparency in all aspects of the surrogacy journey including the compensation you will receive. We take great pride in operating our agency to the industry’s highest ethical standards.
The Surrogacy Compensation Benefits offered by Tomorrow’s Parents International includes other items that a majority of other agencies do not offer.
For example, with some other agencies, you may be compensated very little prior to becoming pregnant. In many cases, you may not even be compensated enough to cover your actual out of pocket costs for the preliminary doctor's visits and tests.
Giving the gift of life to another family in need is one of the most generous and selfless things that you could possibly do. Approximately 1 out of every 8 women in America are unable to carry and give birth to a child. Imagine for a moment if you were in this position. Having a child is one of the most personal and fundamental aspects of being a woman. When fertility and medical issues prevent a woman from having a child it can be devastating.
As a Gestational Carrier (a surrogate mother), you can give a loving family the ultimate gift - a child of their own. As the top Atlanta, GA surrogacy agency, we will work with you to select a set of Intended Parents that are perfectly matched to you. You will have the opportunity to review and select from a variety of couples or individuals that will become a new family thanks to your selfless act of kindness.
If you are considering becoming a gestational carrier (surrogate mother), you may have a variety of questions that can help you decide if it is the right choice for you. Being a gestational carrier means that you will be carrying a child for another couple or individual (the intended parents) who are not able to carry a child to term on their own. For a couple seeking to become intended parents, the embryo that would be transferred would ideally be created by the genetic sperm and egg of the intended parents, however there are times when a donated gamete is needed. For an individual who is seeking to become an intended mother or father, they will certainly need a donated egg or sperm in order to create the embryo. Regardless, the child you would carry would not be of your genetics; however, you would be the proud provider of life to those who are unable to build a family on their own.
