Do Surrogates Get Paid？
Yes, surrogates do get paid for their commitment and the significant role they play in the surrogacy process. Surrogate compensation typically includes a base fee along with additional payments for various aspects of the journey. The compensation structure can vary based on the agency, the location, and the specific terms of the surrogacy agreement.

Base Compensation: This is a fee paid to the surrogate for carrying the pregnancy. It can vary significantly based on factors such as the surrogate's experience (first-time surrogates vs. experienced surrogates) and geographical location.
Expenses and Allowances: Surrogates may receive additional allowances to cover expenses related to the surrogacy, such as maternity clothing, travel expenses for medical appointments, and other pregnancy-related costs.
Medical and Insurance Costs: These are usually covered by the intended parents and include medical expenses related to the pregnancy and childbirth, as well as health insurance for the surrogate.
Miscellaneous Fees: Surrogates might also receive compensation for specific scenarios, such as carrying multiples (twins, triplets, etc.), undergoing invasive procedures, or experiencing a loss of reproductive capability.
