Don't Feel Guilty About Discussing Surrogate Pay
If you've ever felt hesitant to ask about compensation during surrogacy conversations, you're not alone. Many women worry that focusing on pay somehow takes away from the altruistic nature of surrogacy.
"During my own journey, I made that mistake. I didn't advocate for myself at the time," said Tasha, one of our surrogacy specialists and a former surrogate. "Part of that was because it felt awkward, and part of it was my own ethics or values. I felt guilty asking for money because I was carrying someone else's baby. But by the end of the journey, I realized what we put our bodies through is a lot. It's okay to be compensated."
Think about it this way: You're committing nearly ten months of your life to this journey. You're taking time off work for appointments, adjusting your daily routines and making countless personal sacrifices. If you broke down the hours you dedicate to surrogacy and divided it by your compensation, you'd find it's far less than minimum wage.
