How Texas Surrogate Compensation Works

Other agencies may present you with hard-to-follow surrogate compensation packages. We like to keep things simple. We divide your surrogate pay in Texas into two categories: base pay and additional surrogate compensation.

Here's a breakdown our surrogate compensation package:

Base Pay for Surrogate Pregnancy in Texas

Your base pay is essentially your surrogate income. This is your money to spend however you’d like. Your base pay for surrogate pregnancy will be divided into equal payments and distributed over 10 months. You’ll begin receiving it when pregnancy has been confirmed by a medical professional. 

You will also receive a monthly stipend for out-of-pocket expenses once you have signed your surrogacy contracts. You can receive this stipend for six to eight weeks after delivery.

Additional Surrogate Compensation in Texas

The second portion of your surrogate compensation package is the additional compensation you’ll receive for expenses, such as:

  • Fertility medications

  • Medical procedures

  • Travel and lodging costs

  • Lost wages (if any)

  • Third-trimester self-care

  • Legal fees

These are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what our surrogate compensation covers. Learn more by reaching out to a surrogate specialist today.
