By choosing to become a surrogate, you will change a family’s life forever in a way that no one else can. Due to the selfless act of becoming a surrogate mother, many of our surrogates create special bonds with their intended parent(s) that last a lifetime. At Road to Baby Surrogacy & Egg Donation Agency, we are proud to offer 24/7 support and the highest surrogacy base compensation fees, with competitive surrogate mother pay and benefits that make becoming a surrogate well worth it for both the surrogate and the intended parent(s).
Surrogacy Benefits
There are many benefits of becoming a surrogate mother. In fact, it is one of the most selfless and rewarding things you can do. However, it is also a big commitment that requires lots of communication from both ends. If you are wondering how to become a surrogate mother, be sure to weigh the pros and cons of surrogacy before submitting an application with your local egg donation and surrogacy agency. That being said, here are some key benefits of becoming a surrogate:
1. Help Families Grow
One of the main reasons to become a surrogate mother is to help individuals and couples start a family. This is an incredibly rewarding role for many women, as they have the chance to make others’ dreams of becoming a parent come true when they themselves cannot conceive. Surrogate parents are the answer for many intended parents, including infertile couples who cannot conceive on their own, LGBTQ+ couples who need an egg carrier, and single individuals who are ready to take on parenthood by themselves. Finding the right surrogate is challenging for many intended parents, which often results in months to years of waiting. You could be the answer to someone’s prayer!
2. Make Money
Another major perk of becoming a surrogate is that you get paid to carry someone else’s baby to term. So, how much do surrogates make? At our surrogacy agency, first-time surrogates are eligible to receive $58,000+ if you reside in California and $50,000 + if you are a resident in any other surrogate friendly state. Plus, you receive additional benefits, like a monthly allowance, childcare allowance, housekeeping allowance, clothing allowance, full term delivery bonus, psychological support, life insurance, health insurance, all travel paid, food allowance, reimbursable mileage, and the list goes on. If you are looking to help someone else start a family and you could also use some extra cash to put a down payment on a home, go back to school, pay off your college debt, or travel, surrogacy could be right for you!
3. Make Lasting Connections
Surrogacy is about more than giving life while making money — it is an opportunity to give back to the world and create long-lasting relationships with those whose lives you’ve changed. International surrogates and women who begin the journey of surrogacy for gay couples make a profound impact on the lives of others who may be different than them, which helps to bridge cultural barriers and facilitate compassion for people of all walks of life. Infertile couples and individuals who have chosen to start a family via surrogacy are also taking a big leap by putting their trust in someone that could potentially become a godmother, or at the very least, a close friend. Often, our surrogates and their intended parents become best friends for life!
