The Surrogacy Process

Surrogate Stories and Testimonials

My Surrogacy Journey was Incredible Thanks to Physician’s Surrogacy and Their Wonderful Coordinator

I feel so lucky I found them when I was researching on becoming a surrogate. When I first came into contact with the Coordinator at Physician’s Surrogacy she made us feel so comfortable, I knew I had found the right agency. I felt confident that everyone knew what was going to happen and no questions went unanswered. Making the decision to become a surrogate was the most amazing and rewarding experience of my life (aside from having our own beautiful daughter). The adventure from meeting the Intended Parents to finally watching them interact with their baby is indescribable. I was able to help give them a beautiful Read more

My ultimate goal in this is to bless a family the way I was blessed with my angel baby

"I don’t plan on having another child of my own. My body is perfectly capable of carrying a child, so I decided it would be the perfect choice to become a surrogate. Pregnancy is an amazing experience from start to finish. Not being able to bare their own children isn’t something that women ask for. I feel for those who want it so badly but can’t do it on their own. I understand what it means to be a surrogate.

I understand the child is not “mine” even though it will be in my body. My ultimate goal in this is to bless a family the way I was blessed with my angel baby

It was a calling for me to help bless someone and make their dreams come true

The first time I ever heard of the term “surrogate” was a few years ago. At the time I had no idea what it really was. It was not until I had a close personal experience with my older sister wanting another child but not knowing if she herself was able to carry the pregnancy. She asked if I would ever consider carrying a child for her.

The hope and the little bit of faith it gives a woman with a chance to have a child was so beautiful.

The term and idea lingered since then. It was a subject that came up over and over, and peaked my interest to do more reading and research on it. The deeper I looked, it felt right, like it was a calling for me to help bless someone and make their dreams come true

Why not? My surrogacy journey with Physician’s Surrogacy

I had thought long and hard for many years about surrogacy but often wondered if I were brave enough. I finally said to myself why not? Life is too short… there are many couples out there who wish to start a family and why not be the one to help them do so as a surrogate you want to share the wonderful experience of pregnancy and birth to those who simply cannot for themselves. One day I asked my seven year old daughter what she would think of me if I carried another child in my belly for a mommy and daddy who cannot. She simply replied, “That would be nice of you mommy."

The only words that mattered, motivated me even more

Having the support from friends and family; the ones who mean the most to you, made me feel so much more stronger and prouder of myself. The journey was incredibly wonderful to have all the support I needed, especially from my surrogate support person and team at physicians surrogacy! What made it even more special was hearing from the intended parents throughout my journey-knowing how much I “was truly appreciated and how happy they were, made me feel so honored and blessed! In the end, my journey was simply about giving life

What You Need to Know About Surrogacy.

General
Process
Medical
Compensation

Can I be a Surrogate if I am a single parent?

Yes. We believe single mothers are just as capable of being Surrogates as a woman who is married. If you are single, it is very important that you have some type of support system in place prior to committing to any Surrogate program.

Can I be a Surrogate if I don’t have health insurance?

Whether you have insurance or not, a Surrogate-specific insurance plan will be purchased for you by the Intended Parents for the duration of your pregnancy. All medical bills are handled by our accounting department.

Is surrogacy legal in my state?

If you are uncertain about the laws in your state regarding surrogacy, please fill out an application to see whether you would qualify based on the state you live in. You will get a response within 72 hours of submitting your application.

What is a Gestational Surrogate?

A gestational surrogate is a woman who becomes pregnant using an embryo created by the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Pregnancy may be achieved using the mother’s eggs and the father’s sperm. Donor eggs or donor sperm can also be used. There will be no genetic relationship to the Surrogate.

Why should I choose Physician’s Surrogacy instead of other agencies or independent surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a medical process which is why we believe that you should have full medical support during your pregnancy. While other agencies are managed by previous Surrogates or past Intended Parents, we are an OB managed agency. Previous Surrogates and past Intended Parents may understand the emotional aspects of surrogacy but often lack the clinical background and business skills to efficiently manage the complexities of a pregnancy process.
We pay the highest compensation for first time Surrogates in the industry. While other agencies advertise high compensation amounts, you will find out after going through their application process that the advertised amount is not what you will be offered. We are very transparent about the compensation and make sure that you understand from the beginning what your financial situation will be during this journey with us. Transparency is crucial when it comes to money and our approach gives you financial clarity from the start.

Will I be biologically related to the baby I am carrying?

No, you will NOT be biologically related to the baby that you are carrying for the Intended Parents. As a Gestational Surrogate, your eggs will NOT be used. It will be the eggs of either the Intended Mother or the Egg Donor that is being used.

Will the birth certificate have my and/or my husband’s names on it?

Your name and your husband/spouse’s name will NOT be on the birth certificate. The Intended Parents will be the ones who will have full parental rights to the baby and it will be their names that appear on the birth certificate.

Can I start the process if I’m breast feeding?

Unfortunately, we require surrogates to be done with breastfeeding for at least one month before beginning the surrogacy process.

Can I start the process if I’m on cycle suppression?

Yes. Cycle suppression does not prevent you from being a surrogate. Our surrogate case managers will be able to go over the process during your phone interview.

Do I get to choose the Intended Parent(s) I will be working with?

Yes, during your second intake interview we will gather criteria that will help us find Intended Parents that match your preferences. Once the Intended Parent(s) reviews your profile and shares an interest in working with you, we will reach out to you and coordinate a call or video chat. After speaking/meeting, both parties will communicate to Physician’s Surrogacy if they wish to work together. Once both parties agree, it will be considered a match.

How long does it take until I am matched?

This is dependent on each case, but typically one day to two weeks. The length of the process depends on your responsiveness and availability. After your initial application, we will call you to talk about the surrogacy process and answer any questions you may have. We will then send you our compensation package and other documents. Once these documents are returned, it typically takes our Intended Parent team less than two weeks to find a match.

How much contact occurs during the journey?

The amount of contact varies case by case. Contact is determined by the Surrogate Mother and the Intended Parent(s)’s preferences identified during the matching process. Some cultures are a little more closed off than others; however, the relationship and communication develops as the journey progresses.

Is there anything required of my spouse/partner?

During the initial screening process, we will require a background check of anyone over the age of 18 that lives in your household. If you are married, both you and your spouse will need to sign the acceptance agreement and will be included in your legal contract. During the medical screening process, your partner/spouse will be required to provide a blood and urine sample. You partner will play a significant role as part of your support team during your surrogacy journey.

Now that I have applied, how long does it take until the embryo is transferred?

It is usually about 2-6 months until the embryo is transferred. We will bring you in for a medical screening and set up a psychological evaluation. Once you agree to your match, you will enter into the legal contracts phase (where you will be provided with your own legal counsel). The clinic will begin a cycle calendar for you, and instruct you to begin hormone injections.

What happens if the Intended Parents are not able to pick up the child once it is born?

Our agency makes sure that power of attorneys are in place, well before the birth of the baby. This power of attorney gives a Newborn Care Nanny the legal guardianship rights and care for the baby until the Intended Parents are able to pick up the child. With the power of attorneys in place Physician's Surrogacy ensures that the surrogates will never have to care for the baby after giving birth under any circumstances.

Does this cost me anything?

No. Medical expenses, Surrogate benefits, legal fees, and travel expenses are all handled by the Intended Parents.

How are finances handled?

All funds related to your surrogacy will be held in a trust account that is managed by or an experienced escrow company, so that all monies due for your surrogate fees and reimbursement of related expenses are paid in a timely manner. All financial matters will be handled by the surrogacy agency, removing this component from your relationship with the intended parents.

What are the advantages of this type of compensation structure?

"This compensation structure fosters a groundbreaking concept in which all parties mutually benefit.

For Surrogates:

Our surrogates are paid more with a fixed compensation package than with a line item package. Surrogates are paid more up front during the beginning of their journey. In most cases, our surrogates can earn 4-5k+ even before confirmation of pregnancy (COP) Less tedious paperwork: we eliminate the need for submitting miscellaneous expenses such as childcare, mileage, pay stubs and instead entrust you with the reimbursement of your expenses.

For Intended Parents:

Straightforward compensation - they know up front what they will be paying and can plan accordingly. Takes into consideration the additional expenses incurred such as travel and monitoring expenses in different regions."

What constitutes employed vs unemployed?

To be considered employed, you must have a gross annual income of $15,000. Employment is verified by pay stubs and/or a tax return.

What is the compensation package? How much am I getting paid?

Once you complete your online application, a surrogate coordinator will contact you to discuss the surrogacy journey in more detail and provide you with a more detailed explanation of our compensation package. General compensation information can be found on this page.
Our compensation structure ensures our surrogates are paid an absolute, fixed amount. We want prospective surrogates to be educated on all facets of the journey and also know that their unique situation will translate to a clear, financial end result.

Why are employed Surrogates compensated at a higher rate than unemployed?

Surrogates who are employed may be entitled to lost wages thru the state. Since we realize this may be a factor, we have decided to include a stipend for lost wages at the outset. We believe whether it’s needed or not, the money will be there and we leave it up to you how to best allocate those funds. Should you need to file with the EDD, we leave that to your discretion. Although lost wages are already included in your compensation package, this does not preclude you from filing directly with EDD for lost wage benefits.

Why does compensation vary from state to state?

For local Surrogates, travel and other expenses are much less for the intended parents based on proximity to our southern California location. Additionally, as does cost of living, average surrogacy compensation also varies greatly from state to state.
