Surrogate Compensation

How Much Money is Involved in Surrogacy

Surrogate compensation.

Probably the hottest topic in surrogacy, whether we are talking about gestational surrogates, traditional surrogates, or even egg donors, is the issue of compensation.



Most people, whether they are interested in becoming a surrogate mother or intended parent or not, are fascinated by the topic of just how much money a surrogate mother can make.

Now, please understand, the fees a surrogate mother receives should never be equated with a salary.

A surrogate mother is not an employee.

And her fees are not wages.

While most women who become surrogates would love to be able to carry a baby for another family for free, it is sometimes just not feasible.

Before we get started talking about the specifics of surrogacy compensation payments, its important that we clear up common misconceptions.

What is Covered

Surrogacy compensation and fees can be quite confusing. There are many different fees that can be assessed throughout the entire surrogacy journey, and many terms and “what if's” are unfamiliar.

Methods of Compensation

Each surrogacy arrangement is different. Even sibling projects made with the same family can vary from one surrogacy journey to another. Different surrogates and intended parents will view compensation differently, and each partnership needs to find the correct compensation method for their situation.

How it Works

After surrogacy compensation is agreed upon, and written into the contract, it is important to realize how payments work. There are as many different methods of sending and receiving payment as there are agreements.
