As a gestational carrier, you are giving the ultimate gift of a child to a family who might not otherwise be able to have a one. It is an amazing, life changing and a selfless act. Gestational carriers are also committing at least a year of their life to the surrogacy journey. The intended parents also commit to covering surrogacy related expenses for the gestational carrier and surrogacy compensation for her time and risk. The surrogate compensation chart is below.
Compensation disbursements are handled through an escrow manager. Monthly stipends begin and change in value based on the steps in the surrogacy journey. Regardless, the total amount will be distributed over a 10 month period of time.
Each surrogacy journey is unique. Below is a surrogacy compensation guide. There are guaranteed compensation totals, possible additional compensation items and a list of other expenses paid directly by the Intended parents.
