is there a company to work through that will be able to assist with any questions or concerns near Niles, Michigan? I am interested in finding out more information on the fees and stuff. Such as is the ob appointments, labor and delivery covered by the intended parents or my personal insurance? Would I get paid by the family to carry their child for them and if so how much do they pay?

Heidi,
Many agencies will not work with surrogates in Michigan because compensation for surrogacy is illegal in Michigan. You can be a surrogate for a set of intended parents in Michigan, but you cannot get paid for it.
This can be avoided if you give birth out of state.
Your personal health insurance should cover you after you become pregnant, unless they specifically exclude surrogacy. This ideal set-up saves your intended parents thousands of dollars without costing you a penny.
Best wishes!

interested in being a gestational serrogate
A friend is willing to be a Gestational carrier for us.. However, her insurance company has a surrogacy clause. We live in Va and she lives in Michigan. I am having trouble finding insurance for the Surrogate.. Can you give me any direction?? Thank you!

It's not impossible! by: Rayven from Information on Surrogacy
It's not impossible to be a surrogate mother in Michigan, but again, you will most likely not find an agency and will have to match independently.
