I learned about Gestational Surrogacy about 9 years ago, before I had children of my own. I thought it was an amazing idea and an even more amazing gift to give to a growing family. Time passed and I forgot all about surrogacy. I gave birth to two beautiful boys of my own and knew that my family was complete. However, I enjoyed being pregnant and thought I was really good at it. I took really good care of my body and pregnancy/birth had became very important in my life.
A friend of mine mentioned egg donation to me and I thought that was a great idea. I looked into it and quickly learned I was just a little too old to donate my eggs. But this research led me to rediscover Gestational Surrogacy, which I was NOT too old for! I was ecstatic and immediately knew this is what I wanted to do. I talked to my husband and a few close friends about it while I was doing research into agencies. I found an agency that I liked and my husband and I decided this was a journey we wanted to take to help another family. I quickly matched with a couple and within a year and a half I had delivered their baby to them! There were a few bumps in the road along the way but in the end it was 100% worth it to gift that family their very own baby.
My first surro-baby is now 19 months old and I am currently 16 weeks pregnant with surro-baby #2! I switched agencies and I am so glad I did! I didn’t have anything against my first agency but Physicians Surrogacy has surpassed all my expectations! It took a little longer to get matched with a family than I thought it would but I think it was meant to be as the baby is due on my birthday! I am thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and support from all the staff across every department. They have made this second journey less stressful than my first journey and I can’t express how much I appreciate them. I don’t know at this point if I will do a third journey but if I can/want to I will definitely be returning to Physicians Surrogacy! They are amazing!
Just completed my first journey with Physician’s Surrogacy and this has been the most amazing experience for myself and my husband. Physician’s Surrogacy made this process so smooth and enjoyable. I was always being checked on and felt like I could ask any questions or voice any concerns.Ileska and Ivory were my case managers and they were absolutely amazing, and extremely supportive.
I highly recommend anyone to the agency especially if it is your first journey.
Thank you Physician’s Surrogacy for helping me through this amazing experience!!”
“I’m 23 years old, and have a family of my own, so I know the excitement of being a parent. I think every couple who wants a family deserves it. If I could help them accomplish that, it’d be a great experience for everybody involved. I’m very family oriented and couldn’t imagine not being able to produce a child.
This experience gives individuals that are unable to carry a child the opportunity to experience parenthood. The compensation is also a plus. It will help secure a future for my family
“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
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
“In my quest to fulfill my dream of helping a family though surrogacy I researched several agencies in the California area. I found so many great reviews on Physician’s Surrogacy. I called and the staff was quick to answer all my questions. They certainly helped put my mind at ease and was the first agency (I called several) that I spoke with where I finally sensed “this is where I belong.” I immediately felt like they had my best interest in mind and walked me through every step of the matching process. No question of mine was ever too big or too small. Within just a couple of months of my profile being listed I had a conference call with a potential set of Intended Parents. A short time later, it was a match! It just took one phone call and I knew that all my wishes in what I was looking for in a set of Intended Parents had been listened to and met. Not long after, I had to travel for my initial medical clearance. They made all my travel arrangements and were in constant contact with me.Not quite a year after my matching process and I am quickly approaching the delivery date of my first surrogate baby.
The entire staff has helped make this the most positive and joyful experience I could’ve ever imagined. If I ever needed anything, my coordinator was quick to get on it and be sure it was taken care of.
I have gotten phone calls and texts from the staff congratulating me on important milestones (heartbeat confirmation, 20 week ultrasound, first, second and third trimester, etc.) Physician’s Surrogacy has always made me feel like family, I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience
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
Yes. We believe single mothers are just as capable of being Surrogates as a married woman. If you are single, it is very important that you have some type of support system in place. You should assure it prior to committing to any Surrogate program.
Whether you have insurance or not, the Intended Parents will purchase Surrogate-specific insurance for you. The plan lasts for the duration of your pregnancy. Our accounting department will be handling all medical bills.
If you are uncertain about the laws in your state regarding surrogacy, please fill out an application. Then, you will see for yourself whether you would qualify based on the state you live in. You will get a response instantly after submitting your application.
A Gestational Surrogate or a Gestational Carrier is a woman who becomes pregnant using an embryo created by the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The Surrogate may achieve pregnancy using the mother’s eggs and the father’s sperm. Gestational surrogacy also offers the option to use donor eggs or donor sperm. There will be no genetic relationship to the Surrogate.
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. The process uses the eggs of either the Intended Mother or the Egg Donor.
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. Thus, it will be their names that appear on the birth certificate.
In most cases, long-distance travel will only be required for medical screening and embryo transfer, during the initial stages of the fertility treatment. Once you are near the end of your first trimester, you will be released to your local OB doctor who will continue your medical care throughout the rest of your pregnancy. The location you will be required to travel to will be determined by the clinic location your intended parents have selected to store their embryos.
The intended parents that you are matched with will pay any traveling expenses related to your surrogacy.
Our Surrogate mothers need to live a healthy lifestyle and take care of the life that is growing inside of them. During this process, we ask you to stay in regular communication with us and inform us of any appointments or pregnancy-related questions.
Our agency makes sure that the power of attorneys is 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.
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. Also, we will be including it in your legal contract. During the medical screening process, your partner/spouse will have to provide a blood and urine sample. Your partner will play a significant role as part of your support team during your surrogacy 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.
Yes, provided that your OB accepts the health insurance utilized for the pregnancy. Together, you and the Intended Parents will decide upon the physician that cares for you during pregnancy. Many Surrogates use the physician that delivered their own children.
Yes! You can still fulfill the qualifications for gestational surrogacy. The process does not use fallopian tubes. Instead, the embryo(s) are placed directly into the Surrogate’s uterus during the embryo transfer phase.
After the first trimester, your physician will release you to your local OB doctor. Your local OB will oversee your medical care for the remainder of your pregnancy. If you need a new OB doctor, then we can provide you with recommendations. You will be able to deliver at a hospital that is local to you.
Surrogacy has the same risks as a regular pregnancy. There are no additional risks with a Surrogate pregnancy. Given that, please consult with your OB to talk about normal pregnancy risks.
Our BMI requirement is 32 but if you are close to it, we are happy to assist with weight loss support. The Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) has established guidelines on Surrogate BMI (below 34) to reduce the risk of complications or Gestational Diabetes. Most IVF centers also have their own BMI requirements, which typically range from 28 – 34.
Gestational Surrogates need to prepare their bodies for the embryo transfer. You will require injections in order to help your uterus accept the embryo. The medical team will help you throughout your injectable period by providing a calendar with a clear timetable and dosages. Generally, you will have to take the injections through the first trimester.
No, the Surrogate Mother does not bear any cost of this process. The Intended Parents will pay for and handle all the medical expenses, Surrogate Mother benefits, legal fees, and travel expenses.
Employed Surrogates may be entitled to lost wages through the state. We realize this may be a factor. So, we have decided to include a stipend for lost wages at the outset. We believe whether you need it or not, the money should be there. Also, 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 your compensation package includes lost wages, this does not preclude you from filing directly with EDD for lost wage benefits.
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.
This compensation structure fosters a groundbreaking concept in which all parties mutually benefit.
Our Surrogates receive more payment with a fixed compensation package than with a line item package.
Surrogates are paid more upfront 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.
Straightforward compensation – they know upfront what they will have to pay and can plan accordingly. Takes into consideration the additional expenses incurred such as travel and monitoring expenses in different regions.
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.
For local Surrogates, travel and other expenses are much less for the Intended Parents. It is because of the proximity of the local Surrogates to our Southern California location. Additionally, as does the cost of living, average surrogacy compensation also varies greatly from state to state.

Get started with the nation’s only OB-managed surrogacy agency
A physician stepped in and did a peer-to-peer with her managing OB and they both decided on the proper protocol in order to ensure a safe journey and delivery. Our surrogate was put on bed rest and she had our full support along with her surrogate support manager, case manager and the entire Physician’s Surrogacy team! Without our agency being Ob-Managed, I don’t know what our outcome would have been! I am so happy our surrogate was healthy and safe and so was our baby boy!
My surrogate was medically cleared and completely healthy when we started our journey, but during a routine check-up, her OB noticed she had an elevated AFP level during the second trimester. Naturally, we all got really scared andimagined the worst-case scenario. Luckily, a physician from Physician’s Surrogacy was able to coordinate a meeting with a Perinatologist, GYN Oncologist and the OB to devise a plan to ensure that both the surrogate and baby were safe. I am happy to say our surrogate’s amino fluid tested normal and we have a healthy baby!
Our surrogate was originally going to visit her previous OB who had delivered her children. However, due to the distance from where she lived to the hospital, she needed to see a doctor at a closer location. Through their vast network, Physician’s Surrogacy was able to find a practicing OB closer to the hospital and ensured that they had the capacity to handle a high-risk case. They also made sure that the hospital had the proper level NICU. It was all worked out so quickly and our surrogate was able to be seen by the new OB the same week!
