Compensation and Benefits
How does it work?
We have a generous care and compensation package to make sure our surrogate mothers are well cared for and taken care of.
Surrogacy is an act of love and generosity. As a surrogate mother, you will be the miracle a family has been waiting for. The overwhelming majority of our gestational carriers come to us seeking first to help others, but that doesn’t mean the process is easy, and we ensure that our surrogates are fairly compensated. The needs of our surrogates vary, and therefore, compensation may also vary. Please contact us to discuss what your compensation may be.
Compensation is clearly outlined in the Gestational Carrier Agreement (contract) and is agreed upon by the surrogate and the Intended Parent(s) prior to the embryo transfer. Your compensation will be split up into several payments starting when the Gestational Carrier Agreement is signed and is administered on a regular schedule as outlined in your contract. Genesis Rising works with you to determine compensation and once a match is made, the Intended Parent(s) will work with their attorney to create a benefit package for you.
You will have your own own attorney, paid for by the Intended Parent(s), who will review the Gestational Carrier Agreement to ensure you are appropriately compensated and you (and your husband or domestic partner) are in agreement. The compensation varies slightly between contracts and largely depends on what is negotiated between you and the intended parents. This is an information sheet to give you an idea of what you can expect financially along the way.
