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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
