How Kentucky Surrogate Compensation Works
At our agency, surrogate pay in Kentucky is divided into two parts: base pay and additional compensation.
Other agencies might have their own pay structures, but here’s what you can expect from our surrogate compensation package in Kentucky.
Base Pay for Surrogate Pregnancy in Kentucky
Base pay represents the foundation of your surrogate compensation. It's designed to acknowledge the time and effort involved in carrying a child to term.
This money is essentially your income for being a surrogate. Your base surrogate pay is divided into 10 equal payments and paid in monthly installments once pregnancy is confirmed.
You’ll also receive a monthly stipend once you sign your surrogacy contract and begin the medical process. You’ll receive this stipend until six to eight weeks after delivery.
Additional Surrogate Compensation
The other half of your surrogate compensation package covers all the expenses involved in the surrogacy process. This includes:
-
Fertility medications
-
Medical procedures
-
Travel and lodging
-
Maternity clothes
-
Self-care
-
Lost wages
-
Counseling
This division of payment ensures that you are fairly compensated for your contribution and reimbursed for all necessary services.
