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.
