PARENT
"We want to explain our child that he or she is the result of a sum of very generous acts: most of all that of his surrogate mother and the egg donor who also made it possible for him to exist. This gesture of offering the potential of one’s own body to others is something beautiful. This makes us think that this baby will bring with him this sum of generosity, solidarity, hope and understanding. He will not be born by surprise, but rather our surprise will always be in him, in his amazing existence to which so many people have contributed with professionalism, love and dedication."

EGG DONOR
“All of the staff I worked with truly went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and supported. I did feel some nervousness during my first egg donation since I did not know what to expect, but I was genuinely taken care of every step of the way. Everyone was thorough in their explanations, patient in answering my questions, and consistently reassuring. I always felt that my comfort, well-being, and happiness were a priority, which meant a great deal to me and made the experience a very positive one overall."

SHOULD I BE A SURROGATE? A SELF-ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST
Your decision to become a surrogate starts with more than meeting a list of qualifications. You’ll have to consider how it will affect your life. There is no single “right” reason to become a surrogate, and readiness can look different for every woman. By learning what the surrogacy process asks of you and reflecting honestly on your goals, you can decide whether becoming a surrogate feels right for you.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A SURROGATE GIVES BIRTH? RECOVERY, SUPPORT, AND WHAT TO EXPECT
Giving birth marks an important transition in your surrogacy experience. Your care doesn’t end at delivery. You still need time to recover both physically and emotionally and may need support as you return to your daily routine. Every post-birth experience looks different and your recovery will depend on your health, your personal preferences, and the post-delivery plan.
WHY BECOME A SURROGATE MOTHER? TOP MOTIVATIONS AND BENEFITS
There are many reasons women consider becoming a surrogate. Compensation can create new opportunities for you and your family, but for many surrogates, the reasons for participating extend beyond financial benefits. At Growing Generations, we meet potential surrogates who want to help someone in their path to parenthood or see surrogacy as an opportunity to accomplish personal goals.
10 BENEFITS OF BEING A SURROGATE (BEYOND COMPENSATION)
Becoming a surrogate can change more than another family’s future. Surrogates describe a range of outcomes beyond compensation, from new relationships to a clearer sense of what they are capable of. Surrogacy gives you the opportunity to help someone welcome a child while learning more about your own strength and capacity for connection.
SURROGATE SCREENING PROCESS: TESTS, TIMELINES, AND APPROVAL TIPS
If you are thinking of becoming a surrogate, understanding what happens during the screening process can help you decide whether to move forward. The process takes a close look at your health, pregnancy history, emotional readiness, and lifestyle. At Growing Generations, it determines whether you meet the medical and psychological criteria to be cleared to carry.
HOW MUCH DO SURROGATES MAKE IN 2026?
Whether you're considering becoming a surrogate or beginning your family-building journey as an intended parent, it's natural to have questions about surrogate compensation. You may be wondering how much surrogates are compensated, what a compensation package includes, and what factors can affect the total amount.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AS A SURROGATE: CONTRACTS, HEALTHCARE, AND DECISION-MAKING
Becoming a surrogate requires commitment and informed decision-making. You deserve to understand your legal protections, healthcare rights, compensation, and responsibilities before moving forward. At Growing Generations, we help surrogates understand these protections before they sign anything.
SURROGATE PRENATAL CARE: WHAT TO EXPECT THROUGHOUT PREGNANCY
In many ways, prenatal care during a surrogacy pregnancy follows the same foundation as prenatal care for any other pregnancy. As a surrogate, you receive regular medical evaluations and support from your healthcare providers. Your process involves added coordination among your fertility clinic, obstetrician, intended parents, and surrogacy support team.

SURROGACY SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS
Whether you are a surrogate preparing to help another family or an intended parent waiting to welcome your child, support can make each step feel more reassuring. Your needs may change throughout the process. With the right support in place, including your dedicated Growing Generations team, surrogacy can feel less overwhelming and more connected for everyone involved.
SURROGACY MEDICATIONS GUIDE: PROTOCOLS, SIDE EFFECTS, AND SELF-CARE
The medication phase is one of the more unfamiliar parts of becoming a surrogate. Most surrogate applicants know injections are part of the process, but the full scope of medications, timing, and coordination often comes as a surprise. Your fertility clinic creates a medication plan to prepare your body for an embryo transfer and support the earliest stage of pregnancy.
SURROGACY PAYMENT SCHEDULE: WHEN AND HOW YOU'LL BE PAID
At Growing Generations, compensation is structured to be transparent from the start, with base compensation, milestone payments, reimbursements, and additional compensation clearly outlined before a pregnancy begins. Rather than receiving compensation as a single lump-sum payment, surrogates receive support throughout the journey as they move through important milestones.
SURROGATE EMBRYO TRANSFER DAY: TIMELINE, TIPS, AND WHAT TO EXPECT
Whether you’re a surrogate or an intended parent getting closer to embryo transfer day, understanding what happens before, during, and after the procedure helps you prepare for each step with confidence.
