SURROGATES IN CALIFORNIA
Becoming a surrogate is an extraordinary way to help others achieve their dreams of parenthood. At Growing Generations, we are proud to support women in California who are considering this life-changing journey. With nearly 30 years of experience, we are one of the most trusted surrogacy agencies in the state, providing unmatched guidance and care every step of the way.
WHY BECOME A SURROGATE IN CALIFORNIA?
California is one of the most surrogacy-friendly states in the U.S., offering robust legal protections and a supportive community for surrogates. As a surrogate in California, you can expect:
Solid legal protections: California law ensures that surrogates are fully protected through legally binding agreements. These contracts clearly outline roles, responsibilities, and compensation, giving you peace of mind.
Generous compensation: California surrogates receive competitive compensation packages, including base pay, allowances, and coverage for medical and legal expenses.
Supportive environment: Whether you're in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, or virtually anywhere in the state, California offers access to top-tier fertility clinics and experienced surrogacy professionals.
HOW MUCH DO SURROGATES GET PAID IN CALIFORNIA?
Surrogates in California earn more than their counterparts in most other states. At Growing Generations, we carefully screen applicants and know our surrogates are among the best. That's why we believe in generously compensating them for their decision to help others grow their families.
The minimum base pay for a first-time surrogate in California is $75,000. We invite experienced surrogates to discuss setting their own minimum base pay with us. Intended parents often want to match with experienced surrogates, and we're willing to adjust compensation based on demand.
You can earn up to $5,000 in bonuses before pregnancy through our bonus incentive structure. This includes:
-
$1,500 screening incentive (when you achieve medical clearance)
-
$1,500 contract signing incentive (when legal contracts are complete)
-
$2,000 medical start incentive (when you start IVF medications)
These bonuses reward your commitment at key milestones along your journey, providing additional financial support before pregnancy.
