Why Should Surrogate Mothers Be Paid?

Paid surrogacy acknowledges the commitment surrogates make when they agree to carry a child for intended parents. Carrying a child for intended parents is a big responsibility and paid surrogacy ensures that you earn meaningful income for your family for the commitment you invest in the process.

Throughout the surrogacy process, surrogates incur various expenses, including medical bills, childcare, travel costs and more. Paid surrogacy helps alleviate the financial burden associated with the process. This ensures that you can focus on the well-being of the child you’re carrying without having to worry about financial stressors.

“The compensation I received from being a surrogate helped me to alleviate day-to-day stressors. If I needed to take off time from work I wasn’t as stressed about it.” – said Jade, one of our surrogate mothers.

How Do Surrogates Get Paid?

When you choose paid surrogacy, you’ll receive your surrogate compensation through a combination of base payments, expense reimbursements and potential additional payments. Your surrogate compensation can be anywhere from $50,000-$110,000 depending on factors such as you experience with surrogacy, income, and location.

Your base payment compensates you for carrying the pregnancy and typically covers a portion of the overall compensation. Expense reimbursements cover costs associated with pregnancy, such as medical bills, maternity clothing, travel fees, legal fees and more.

Our Commitment to Fair Practices

Our program follows the standards set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). This commitment ensures that our practices meet the highest ethics for paid surrogacy, safeguarding the well-being of everyone involved. Our dedication to fair compensation and adherence to ASRM guidelines protects surrogates from exploitation often observed in other parts of the world.

By prioritizing ethical practices, we create a safe and empowering environment where surrogates can earn meaningful income without having to worry.

“Not only was I able to do some renovations in my home but I was able to set up my sons college and that’s something that we set aside. This journey was for the experience and the financial compensation was definitely a plus for the future.” – said Allisandra, one of our surrogate mothers.

Surrogate compensation opens doors to life-changing opportunities, like buying your dream home, paying off debts and starting a college fund for your kids. Through our ASRM standards and commitment to advocating for paid surrogacy, we ensure a supportive environment that prioritizes the safety and well-being of everyone involved.

Is Surrogacy Ethical?

Modern surrogacy prioritizes, safeguards and advocates for surrogates. Explore the ethics of surrogacy with our agency.

Recent conversations around surrogacy have raised questions about the ethicality of this family-building option. We recognize the gravity of these concerns and prioritize the well-being of our surrogates through a comprehensive framework of safeguards.

We’ll delve into the ethical landscape of surrogacy today, shedding light on the measures in place at the state, agency and medical levels to protect surrogates. To learn more about how surrogates are protected, reach out to us today to speak with a specialist.

The Evolving Ethics of Surrogacy

Surrogacy in the U.S. has come a long way, and contemporary practices prioritize ethical considerations more than ever. We believe that transparency, empathy and advocacy are fundamental components of surrogacy ethics. Our commitment is not just to facilitate the surrogacy journey but to empower surrogates with information, support and a reinforced sense of self.

How Surrogacy and Ethics Go Hand-in-Hand

1. Requirements and A Screening Process

We have a set of requirements that all of our surrogates must meet to ensure they are physically and mentally capable of safely carrying a pregnancy to term:

Age 21-40
BMI 19-32
At least one successful prior pregnancy
No more than five vaginal births and three C-sections
Must be currently raising a child
No smoking or illicit drug use

These requirements are based off of standards set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and exist to protect the well-being of the surrogate and the child she may carry.

Our surrogacy program ensures that each surrogate undergoes a thorough screening process to guarantee physical and emotional well-being of all parties involved. This step is crucial not only for the surrogate’s health but also for the overall success of the surrogacy journey. This will consist of:

Completing social and medical history forms and obtaining a surrogacy recommendation from their OB/GYN
Collect medical records of previous pregnancies and deliveries to confirm that surrogacy is safe for the prospective surrogate.
An in-home visit to ensure that you have a safe and stable home-life where you can safely carry out a healthy pregnancy. During this visit they will also be asked about their motivation for becoming a surrogate, any concerns they have, their partner’s involvement in their surrogacy, etc.
A psychological evaluation for the surrogate and their partner to ensure they’re both mentally and emotionally prepared for the surrogacy journey. They’ll be asked about why they want to be a surrogate, their emotions regarding the journey ahead and their family’s support of your decision.
An insurance review to determine whether or not their policy covers surrogate pregnancy or if we need to find a family that has a surrogacy-friendly policy.

2.cOMPEnsation for their time and effort

We provide all of our surrogates with fair surrogate compensation for the time, physical and emotional commitment involved. This compensation consists of:

Base pay: This is money that is paid directly to the surrogate that they can use to enhance their life and their family’s lives in any way they choose.
Additional expenses: Our surrogacy compensation package covers all pregnancy and surrogacy-related expenses so that surrogates don’t have to worry about finances or using their own surrogate pay.

You can’t put a price on the miracle of bringing new life into the world, nor would we want to. Providing surrogate compensation is our way of acknowledging the generosity and dedication of surrogates to helping others experience the joy and love of parenthood.

3. Legal Protections and Contracts

In the U.S., every state has its own set of surrogacy laws. These laws ensure the ethical conduct of surrogacy arrangements. We prioritize connecting our surrogates with surrogacy attorneys who specialize in their state’s surrogacy laws.

These legal professionals help our surrogates create agreements that address potential challenges, protect their rights, establish expectations and responsibilities and more, offering surrogates a sense of security throughout the process.

How We Advocate for Surrogates

We go beyond being experts in the field – we are advocates. Our goal is to make every surrogate feel confident, valued and in control of their journey, ensuring a positive and fulfilling experience.

We understand that the surrogacy journey is not just a transaction but a life-altering experience. Our specialists have the surrogate’s best interests at heart, serving as compassionate guides throughout the process. Advocacy, in our context, means unwavering support, a commitment to surrogates’ well-being and a dedication to ensuring a positive and empowering journey.

With the right professionals and advocacy, surrogacy can be an ethical, empowering and deeply meaningful journey. We are not just a surrogacy agency; we are partners in the surrogacy journey. You can learn more about our surrogacy practices by reaching out to a specialist now.

What is a Career Surrogate?

What is a career surrogate? We break down the benefits to becoming an experience surrogate mother.

Have you heard of a career surrogate? If you’ve been looking into surrogacy, you’ve likely come across this term. In the world of surrogacy, we love to work with career surrogates. Today, we break down what it means to become a career surrogate, the benefits and how you can get started.

Ready to begin your surrogacy journey? Contact a surrogacy specialist to get started.

What is a Career Surrogate?

A career surrogate is essentially an experienced surrogate. For many women, this experience is enjoyable and something they want to repeat as they are able to. There are a number of surrogate requirements you have to meet to continue as a surrogate, but once you’ve met them once and gone through the process, you will likely continue to meet these standards. This allows for a smoother process each time you go through the surrogate process.

Surrogacy can be a calling for many women who want to help others. This can create a positive and quality experience for everyone involved. If you find you want to continue being a surrogate and continue meeting the requirements, you can be a surrogate.

Benefits of Becoming a Career Surrogate

One of the main benefits of becoming a career surrogate is the experienced surrogate pay you receive. This can be a life-changing amount for many women and their families. Our experienced surrogate pay ranges from $60,000-$110,000. Where you live and how many times you’ve been a surrogate factor into this amount. For those career surrogates who are on their third or even fourth experience as a surrogate, this can be on the higher end. Surrogate pay often helps with:

Paying off debt
Purchasing a car
Purchasing a home
Paying for college
Putting money away for kids
Creating once-in-a-lifetime memories

Another benefit to being a career surrogate is your ability to understand the process. Because you have been through the entire surrogacy journey before, you understand the physical and emotional demands of the process. This goes a long way when working with parents who want a trusted surrogate to carry their baby. There’s nothing better to many parents than having a trusted individual to carry their child.

Get Started as a Surrogate

When you start your journey as a career surrogate you are not only helping to build families, but you are helping to sustain your own. Through continued experience as a surrogate your service can be beneficial to everyone. With the compensation, you earn as a surrogate, you can do so much for yourself and your family. We acknowledge that what you do as a career surrogate is offering incredible and insurmountable change for others.

We love working with experienced surrogates and would love to work with you. Whether you’re looking to start your first or third surrogacy journey, our surrogacy specialists are ready to assist you. We will walk you through the process from beginning to end, offering a competitive surrogate compensation package to help you feel financially secure

What Did the Pope Say About Surrogacy?

Pope Francis’s recent comments about surrogacy have resulted in increased interest in the modern application of this family-building method.

On Monday January 8^th, Pope Francis called for a global ban on surrogacy in an annual speech to diplomats outlining what the Catholic Church considers threats to global peace and humanity.

“I deem deplorable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the mother’s material needs,” Pope Francis said.

The Pontiff went on to condemn the commercialization of surrogacy, saying that “a child is a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract.”

Pope Francis’ recent statements keep with the Vatican’s oppositional stance on in vitro fertilization. Pope Francis as well as other critics of surrogacy say that compensated surrogacy exploits impoverished women.

These statements have caused a recent surge of interest in surrogacy. Because surrogacy is a family-building method that many people are unfamiliar with, there is also a lot of confusion.

Below, we’ll go into more detail about what surrogacy really is.

What Surrogacy is, and What Surrogacy is Not [Explained]

As a surrogacy agency with our surrogates’ best interests at heart, we empathize with the Pope’s concern for the well-being of gestational carriers. That is why we want to break down some of the Pope’s statements and show how U.S. surrogacy laws protect the surrogate, the intended parents and the baby.

1. “A child is a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract.”

First and foremost, we are in agreement with this sentiment. It’s for this reason that we provide this amazing service. There are so many deserving couples and individuals who want to grow their family, but for one reason or another, are not able to on their own.

Surrogacy allows these hopeful parents to have the family they’ve longed for.

The surrogates we work with have had children of their own and have made the choice to help these couples be able to experience the joy of parenthood.

The compensated surrogacy contract used in the U.S. ensures that the surrogate is able to financially support herself and her family, as well as to maintain her autonomy throughout the surrogacy process. Every surrogate has her own attorney who specializes in the surrogacy laws of her state to ensure that her rights are protected every step of the way.

2. “…based on the exploitation of situations of the mother’s material needs.”

Here, Pope Francis is most likely thinking of the well-documented stories of surrogacy being practiced in other nations in ways that are exploitative, dangerous and unethical. These stories shock the conscious. However, U.S. surrogacy practices are worlds apart from these reports.

In the U.S., surrogacy practices are designed to protect and empower surrogates, and never with the intent to exploit. Through a combination of state laws and medical standards from the ASRM, women considering becoming surrogates in the U.S. can feel confident that their rights and best interests are considered.

Every surrogate we work with starts her surrogacy journey on her own terms. All aspects of the surrogacy journey are done only once she has consented — and no surrogate is ever exploited.

We have surrogacy requirements in place that all of our surrogates must meet before she can begin the surrogacy process, which are based on ASRM standards. Many of these qualifications require her to her already have a strong support system, financial stability, a safe home environment and a healthy lifestyle. These requirements exist to protect the health and safety of her and the child she carries.

3. “… the life of the unborn child in the mother’s womb, which cannot be suppressed or turned into an object of trafficking.”

The safeguards and practices we implement as an agency are designed around the well-being of the child just as much they are the surrogate. Many of the requirements these women must meet before they can become surrogates through our agency pertain to the health and safety of the baby they carry, from conception through delivery.

The compensation provided to the surrogate is not payment for the child. It is for the service she’s providing and so that she can prioritize herself, the hopeful parents’ baby and her own family throughout the surrogacy journey without worrying about covering additional expenses.

Through IVF and gestational surrogacy practices, surrogates are not genetically linked to the child they carry. Before the surrogate begins the medical process of their journey, they work with their attorney to draft a contract that includes acknowledgement of the parentage of the hopeful parents they partner with. They understand that the child they’re carrying is not theirs, nor do they wish for it to be. This is also why we require that our surrogates must be currently raising a child of their own.

Surrogacy is an evolving family-building method, and not every country or organization practices or regulates it the same way. That’s why we as an agency take every measure that we can to protect and empower our surrogates on their journey of helping hopeful parents know the love and joy of building a family.

How Many Times Can You Be a Surrogate?

How many times can you be a surrogate? Check out this guide to how often you can help create families.

Surrogacy can feel like a calling for many women. Not only is it a way to give families a way to have children when they may not be able to, but it can be life-changing for you as well. The aspect of surrogacy compensation can create income for surrogates that help their family in ways they otherwise couldn’t.

If you’re wondering “How many times can I be a surrogate?” contact us today to learn more.

How Often Can You Be a Surrogate?

While we don’t have a specific limit on how many times you can be a surrogate, there are general surrogacy guidelines that can limit the amount of times you can be a healthy surrogate. There are a few requirements to becoming a surrogate that denote how many vaginal births and cesarean births you can have. Those requirements include:

Have had no more than five vaginal births.
Have had no more than three C-sections.

These requirements are created by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. They are put in place to ensure the health of the surrogate and the baby. They also recommend waiting a minimum of six months before considering another pregnancy.

Ultimately, you could be a surrogate up to four times. We also require women to be raising their own child while going through the surrogacy process. So as long as you have had a previous healthy pregnancy, healthy vaginal delivery and are raising your child, you could become a surrogate up to four times.

When you apply to become a surrogate, you will go over your health and pregnancy history. This will be evaluated more closely to determine if you are a good candidate for surrogacy.

Become an Experienced Surrogate

Experienced surrogates are a special group of women who choose to go through the surrogacy process more than once. We love working with experienced surrogates because they know, understand and appreciate the surrogacy process.

Choosing to be a career surrogate can be a life-changing decision for you and your family. It can create an extra income to help pay for things like debt, a new home and more. You also have the benefit of giving a loving a family an once-in-a-lifetime gift. Our experienced surrogates earn $60,000 to $110,000 for their surrogate compensation package.

However, finding a gestational carrier on your own can be challenging and risky. At American Surrogacy, we offer guidance on finding a surrogate who aligns with your surrogacy plan, while allowing you to choose the surrogate that’s right for you.

Our team is always available to dive deeper into the process and discuss how to find a surrogate mother based on your specific surrogacy goals.

Step 1: Partner with a Reputable Surrogacy Agency

Working with the right surrogacy agency, like American Surrogacy, can help you find a surrogate who’s been thoroughly screened. With over 20 years of matching experience through our sister agency, American Adoptions, we know what it takes to consistently bring in high-quality surrogates to our agency.

We also network with various attorneys, fertility clinics and social workers across the country to give you the highest chance at finding a surrogate that fits your needs.

Step 2: Get to Know Your Surrogate Through a Conference Call

Once you find a surrogate that’s the perfect fit, your surrogacy specialist will set up a conference call. This is your chance to solidify your match by asking the surrogate any questions you may have. This can help you decide if you’re comfortable working with her for the next year or so.

You’ll be able to decide how frequently you want to communicate with the surrogate and we will always be there to help you mediate communication if you need. Your specialist will also help you prepare for this conversation by giving you additional information about the surrogate’s preferences and by suggesting additional topics of conversation.

Step 3: Confirm the Match with a Surrogacy Contract

The final step in how to find a surrogate is drafting a surrogacy contract that outlines all agreements and responsibilities of everyone involved. This contract not only lays out expectations but also addresses any risks and liabilities in case an unexpected event occurs.

You and your surrogate will both need lawyers and your surrogacy specialist will help coordinate this legal process. Once the surrogacy contract is signed, your search to find a surrogate will be complete and you’ll be ready to move forward with the rest of the surrogacy process.

What Are the Benefits of Surrogacy?

Becoming a parent through surrogacy has never been easier. At American Surrogacy, you don’t have to wait any longer to become parents. One of the main advantages of choosing surrogacy as a path to parenthood is that the wait times are significantly lower.

Why Become a Parent Through Surrogacy? [4 Reasons]

1. An Opportunity to Grow Your Family

Surrogacy is an amazing family-building option, offering hope to parents whose journey to parenthood has been marked by hurdles and setbacks. When other methods such as natural conception or adoption have proven elusive, surrogacy can help you realize your dreams of expanding your family. This method is particularly invaluable for individuals struggling with infertility, same-sex couples or those facing medical conditions that make pregnancy impossible.

With the support of modern medical advancements and legal frameworks, surrogacy has the power to transform heartbreak into joy, uniting parents and surrogates to bring new life into the world.

2. More Control Over Your Family-Building Journey

Surrogacy stands out as a more controlled process for parents when compared to other family-building methods. Unlike adoption, where the process can be unpredictable and may involve complex legal and emotional factors, surrogacy offers a greater level of predictability. In surrogacy, parents can actively participate in the selection of their surrogate, ensuring compatibility and trust, which is often not possible in adoption.

The medical aspects of surrogacy are more manageable, allowing parents to closely monitor the prenatal environment and have a more direct influence on the pregnancy experience. This control is particularly essential for individuals or couples with specific medical concerns or those seeking a specific genetic makeup for their child. Surrogacy provides a structured, customizable, and well-regulated path to parenthood, offering a sense of assurance and empowerment throughout the family-building journey.

3. The Quickest Path to Parenthood

We know how much you’ve wanted to start or grow your family. One of the benefits of surrogacy with our agency is that we bring that wait to an end by helping you find the best surrogate for your family in the shortest amount of time.

3. Partner with High-Quality Surrogates

Surrogates who choose to embark on this extraordinary journey are meticulously screened, both physically and psychologically, to guarantee their ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child.

They are often well-informed and dedicated individuals who genuinely want to help prospective parents achieve their dreams of having a family. This selection process ensures that you can trust in the surrogate’s reliability, health and emotional stability. This level of quality and preparedness, combined with the legal and medical support provided, makes surrogacy a prime choice for parents seeking a secure and positive path to parenthood.

What Are the Gestational Surrogacy Success Rates?

The IVF surrogacy success rates will always depend on the fertility clinic that completes the embryo transfer. This includes any pre-implantation genetic screening that the clinic needs to complete. In general, a little more than half of all IVF transfers will result in pregnancy, with 35-40 percent of transfers failing to implant.

If you experience a failed transfer, know that its normal and we will be there to help you during this time. A failed transfer is normal and we will always be there for this emotional process.

What Affects the Surrogacy Embryo Transfer Success Rates?

There are various factors that influence surrogacy success rates. If you’re looking into surrogacy as a family building option, here are some things that affect the success rate of surrogacy:

Age of egg: One of the most important influences determining how successful a pregnancy is. Most surrogacy pregnancies include egg donors that tend to be young, typically in their 20s, while a surrogate can be somewhere into her early 40s. Once a woman turns 40, the quality of her eggs have become less viable but she can still carry a successful pregnancy.
The quality of sperm: This plays a big part in the surrogacy success rates as well. To increase the chances of a success, sperm should be used or donated from a healthy nonsmoker.
Pre-screening surrogates: While the surrogate’s age isn’t as important as the egg donor’s age, you still want to make sure that surrogates meet a clinic’s medical criteria. A thorough agency, like American Surrogacy, will pre-screen all potential candidates to ensure they meet the IVF clinic guidelines and requirements before the medical screening.
The surrogacy agency: You can always improve your chances of having higher surrogacy success rates by working with the right agency. Although fertility clinics mostly influence surrogacy success rates, we will do everything we can to set you up for success from our end. With our 1:1 intended parent to surrogate ratio, we can help you find a surrogate who’s the perfect fit for you and your family in an average of 30-90 days.

How to Maximize IVF Surrogacy Success Rates

One of the ways you can increase your chances of a successful pregnancy is by making sure you’re using donor eggs and a surrogate with a healthy uterus. You’ll need to have the young eggs transferred to a surrogate who has had healthy pregnancies beforehand.

The chances can be even higher if you’ve had the surrogate undergo pre-genetic testing. In this case, implantation rates and successful pregnancy chances will be high, while failed transfers and rates will be low.
