How Much Do Surrogates Make for Twins?

There are many outcomes you can plan for when you become a surrogate. However, the chance for twins is not something you can predict.

Many prospective surrogates want to know how much surrogates get paid for twins. It makes sense that you would be paid more for carrying two babies. After all, it involves additional physical demands and medical complexity.

Our surrogates earn a competitive compensation package to ensure they are supported and rewarded for their work. Contact us today to discover how to become the highest-paid surrogate.

How Much Do Surrogates Make for Twins?

Carrying twins or even triplets can result in you becoming one of the highest-paid surrogate mothers. Surrogates who are carrying more than one baby typically receive additional compensation to cover the physical demands.

How Much Do Surrogates Make Per Baby?

Because our surrogates aren’t being paid for the baby they’re carrying, our surrogate pay rate is not determined per baby. As a surrogate, you’ll be paid for your time and effort and reimbursed for surrogacy expenses. If you’re a surrogate pregnant with twins, you’ll receive $5,000 per multiple for the added physical and emotional efforts.

Risks of Being a Surrogate Pregnant With Twins

While carrying multiples is one way you can maximize your surrogate compensation, we don’t typically encourage this. Multiple pregnancies come with a higher likelihood of complications, including:

• Premature Labor and Birth: Over 60% of multiples are born premature, which means they may have a lower birthweight as well as underdeveloped organ systems.

• Hypertension: Surrogates pregnant with twins or triplets are twice as likely to develop high blood pressure, which can put the pregnancy at risk.

• Anemia: Surrogates are twice as likely to become anemic with multiple pregnancies.

• Birth Defects: There’s twice as much risk in multiples developing birth defects.

• Miscarriage: In multiple pregnancies, there is a possibility one of the twins may be miscarried within the first trimester.

How Multiples Are Addressed in Your Surrogacy Contract 

Carrying multiples and other pregnancy situations are written into your contract before you even start the medical process. This includes procedures like C-sections, bed rest and more. 

Any additional compensation for complications or extended recovery time will be spelled out clearly. This way, you know exactly what you're entitled to and don't have to worry about negotiating for fair treatment later. 

The key is working with an experienced agency and attorney during contract negotiations to make sure you're comfortable with every scenario. Once everything is locked in, you can focus on helping create a family. 

Other Ways of Becoming a Highest-Paid Surrogate

You don't have to carry twins or triplets to earn more surrogate compensation. At American Surrogacy, we believe in working with each surrogate individually to create a compensation package that reflects their unique situation and needs.

“We try to meet the surrogate where she's at,” said Katie, one of our surrogacy specialists. “It's what she asks for and feels is fair for her circumstances — whatever she feels is going to make this worth her effort and sacrifice.”

Beyond our personalized approach, there are other typical ways to become a high-paid surrogate:

Experience

If you have prior surrogate experience, you can earn more for your familiarity with the process. First time surrogates can earn $55,000 - $90,000+, whereas experienced surrogates can make $60,000 - $110,000+.

When you have already been through the process, you deserve to be rewarded for your continued service. We want to express our admiration for your continued effort to help create families.

Location

Every state has its own cost of living, which influences surrogacy rates in your community. Some states have a higher average surrogate pay than others. If you live in a state with a higher surrogate pay rate, you can become one of the highest-paid surrogates.
