Why Become a Surrogate Mother: Motivations Behind Surrogacy

Our agency is dedicated to helping individuals and couples realize their dreams of parenthood through surrogacy. We welcome men and women, whether married or single, from the U.S. and around the globe who cannot have a biological child without assistance.

A common question is: why do women choose to become surrogate mothers? Surrogates provide an unparalleled gift—the chance for intended parents to have a child. Beyond just aiding conception, surrogates offer the incredible opportunity for others to create a family, a profoundly rewarding gift.

Surrogacy allows you to give the ultimate gift of life. Intended parents are eternally grateful, as are their friends and family who share in the joy of welcoming a new child.

Financial compensation is also a part of surrogacy. While not the primary reason for most surrogates, the financial benefits are significant. Many women are motivated by the desire to help others create a family, and the compensation can support their own families, pay off debts, or fund personal goals.

However, it’s important to recognize that surrogacy is a demanding journey. It requires a strong commitment and involves a complex process.

What Drives a Woman to Be a Surrogate?

What makes a woman choose to be a surrogate? Women accomplish extraordinary things daily: managing businesses, developing technologies, and solving critical problems. Each day, they bring thousands of new lives into the world with dedication and care.

Some women become surrogate mothers, carrying a child for those who cannot conceive on their own. These families may include same-sex couples, heterosexual couples with medical challenges, and others. The surrogacy journey leaves a lasting impact on all involved. So, what motivates these women?

Compassion is a common motivator. Surrogates often know the joy of raising children and want to help others experience that joy. They provide a safe and nurturing environment for the baby until birth.

Additionally, some women genuinely enjoy the pregnancy process. Take Carole Horlock, for instance—she has given birth to 14 children for other families and finds joy in being pregnant.
