We’ve made it as easy as possible and our surrogacy specialists will be there for any questions you have.

Step 3: Find the Best Intended Parents and Draft a Legal Contract

This is one of the biggest parts of the journey, finding the best intended parents. Only you will know when you find the perfect match, and what a perfect match looks like to you.

With our decades of experience helping create families, we’ll help you however we can.

Once you find the perfect match, you’ll both need to get legal representation for the surrogacy contract. This legal contract outlines what your surrogacy will look like. Having legal representation ensure both you and the intended parents have your rights and interests protected.

You both must sign the contract before you can begin the medical side of surrogacy.

Step 4: Prepare for the Embryo Transfer

The first step to prepare for pregnancy is taking a regimen of fertility medication to prepare your body.

In vitro fertilization will collect mature eggs from the intended mother, fertilized by the intended father’s sperm to create an embryo. Once conditions are optimal for implementation, the embryo will be transferred to your uterus.

Once a pregnancy is confirmed, you’ll begin receiving the agreed-upon pay rate.

Step 5: Give the Gift of Parenthood

Becoming a surrogate creates families for those who haven’t been able to create their own. You can return home knowing you’ve made the heroic decision to give the gift of parenthood.

FAQs About Surrogate Compensation in Garland

How Much Do You Get Paid for Surrogacy in Texas?

There is no set amount when it comes to how much surrogates make in Texas. That’s because surrogate pay is specific to each surrogate. Surrogate pay is calculated by looking at the surrogate’s income, cost of living and experience with surrogacy.

How Much Do Surrogates Make for Twins?

As a surrogate, you can make $10,000 for twins. We pay $5,000 per multiple, but it’s not for the babies you are carrying.

We know the physical and emotional effects that carrying more than one baby can bring, and paying per multiple is our way of showing how much we value and appreciate your decision to do this for the intended parents.

Do Surrogates Get Paid After the Baby Is Born?

The payment schedule for a surrogate is outlined in the contract. The surrogacy contract outlines the entire journey, including the payment schedule. Typically, surrogates are not paid after the baby is born, their payments begin as soon as a pregnancy is confirmed.

Do Surrogates Have to Pay Taxes in Texas?

Yes, surrogates have to pay taxes in Texas. The pay you receive as a surrogate is compensation for a valuable, life-changing service.

The monthly payments you receive are considered income.

One way to know for sure if you have to pay taxes as a surrogate is if you receive a 1099 tax form from the third-party escrow service that distributes your monthly payments. If you don’t, however, it doesn’t mean the income is tax-free. You should speak to a local tax accountant to ensure you have the right forms.

Do Surrogates Get Maternity Leave in Texas?

Becoming a surrogate in Texas means you get maternity leave. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) gives you 12 weeks of unpaid leave.

Do Surrogates Get Paid if They Miscarry?

Surrogates do get paid if they miscarry. The amount of pay is determined by your surrogate contract but it’s typically only for the length of time you were pregnant.

That legal contract also outlines what comes next, if you and the intended parents decide to try again, your pregnancy will need to be confirmed before you are paid.
