Resources for Surrogates
Every woman who chooses surrogacy embodies boundless love and generosity. At Surrogacy GRACE, we recognize that this decision is both deeply personal and life-changing. Compensation is not just a paycheck—it’s a reflection of your commitment, sacrifice, and the invaluable role you play in helping intended parents build their families.
Our compensation structure is transparent, competitive, and designed to ensure you feel valued at every stage of your journey.
How Much Do Surrogates Earn with GRACE?
At Surrogacy GRACE, base compensation typically ranges from $50,000 to $75,000+, depending on experience and individual qualifications. First-time surrogates usually start at $50,000 base + $6,600 in benefits, totaling $56,600.
With each subsequent journey, compensation increases by approximately $10,000, acknowledging the experience and dedication of repeat surrogates.

Compensation is a Right, Not a Favor
Surrogate compensation is your right—a recognition of your immense commitment and sacrifice. It’s not a favor, and you should never feel guilty for receiving it. At GRACE, we ensure that your financial security, emotional well-being, and health are fully supported throughout the journey.
Additional Benefits and Allowances
Beyond base pay, surrogates at GRACE receive a comprehensive package of benefits, including:
- Monthly Allowance – covers everyday expenses like mileage, parking, and prenatal vitamins.
- Maternity Clothing Allowance – provided at 12 and 20 weeks to keep you comfortable.
- Medication Start Fee – paid when you begin prescribed IVF medications.
- Transfer Fee – compensation for lost wages, childcare, and bed rest on embryo transfer day.
- Invasive Procedures Compensation – for procedures like C-section, D&C, hysteroscopy, or selective reduction.
- Health Insurance Reimbursement – all premiums and fees fully covered.
- Lost Wages – financial protection for time off during your cycle.
- Travel Expenses – all surrogacy-related travel costs reimbursed.
- Psychological Support – ongoing emotional support throughout your journey.
- Life Insurance Policy – providing peace of mind and security for your family.
- Breast Milk Pumping Compensation – acknowledging your continued contribution, if applicable.
Are Medical and Legal Bills Covered?
Yes! As a surrogate, you will never pay out-of-pocket costs for pregnancy-related medical care or legal services. Intended parents are fully responsible for:
- Medical bills (prenatal care, delivery, complications, etc.).
- Legal fees (contracts, parentage orders, legal counsel).
These expenses are separate from your compensation—meaning your pay and benefits are never reduced.
Our dedicated insurance and finance team works directly with hospitals and clinics to ensure timely payment and protect your personal finances.
Does Surrogacy Cost the Surrogate Mother?
Absolutely not. Surrogacy should never be a financial burden. Intended parents cover all related expenses, ensuring your focus remains on your health, the baby, and your journey.
Your Journey with GRACE: More Than Just Compensation
Becoming a surrogate is about more than financial rewards—it’s about love, hope, and the miracle of creating families. At Surrogacy GRACE, we’re here to guide, support, and celebrate you every step of the way.
