How Kentucky Surrogate Compensation Works
Surrogate pay in Kentucky with our agency is divided into two components: base pay for surrogate pregnancy and additional compensation.
Other agencies might have their own pay structure, but here’s what you can expect from our surrogate compensation package in Kentucky.
Base Pay for Surrogate Pregnancy in Kentucky
The base pay represents the foundation of your surrogate compensation and is designed to acknowledge the significant commitment, time and effort involved in carrying a child to term.
This money is the equivalent of your salary for your surrogate services. Your base surrogate pay is divided into 10 equal payments and paid in monthly installments once a pregnancy is confirmed.
Before a pregnancy is confirmed, you’ll receive a monthly stipend once you sign your surrogacy contract and begin the medical process. You’ll receive this stipend until 6-8 weeks after delivery.
Additional Surrogate Compensation
The other half of your surrogate compensation package is to cover all the expenses involved in your pregnancy and surrogacy process. This includes:
-
Fertility medications
-
Embryo transfers
-
Travel and lodging
-
Maternity clothes
-
Lost wages
-
Counseling
These are just a few of the expenses included in your surrogate compensation. This division ensures that you are fairly compensated for your dedication and contribution while also ensuring you’re reimbursed for all necessary services.
Clarity and transparency in this compensation structure are essential to ensure that both you and the intended parents have a clear understanding of the financial aspects of the surrogacy arrangement.
