Real support

You should understand the people and process before you apply.

Surrogate proof points

What surrogates can expect

First-time surrogates typically start above $50,000 in base compensation, with many current journeys landing around $55,000 to $85,000 before reimbursements, allowances, and qualifying add-ons.

Final compensation depends on experience, insurance, contract structure, multiple-gestation risk, travel requirements, and the medical/legal details of the journey.

Screening support. Medical, background, and records review are coordinated with the care team before matching.
Milestone payments through escrow. Payments and reimbursements are documented in the legal agreement and disbursed through escrow as journey milestones are reached.
Coordinator support. A coordinator stays with the journey through screening, matching, medical clearance, and delivery planning.

Quick answers

Questions before the fit check

How long does the first surrogate fit check take?

The first fit check usually takes about 60 to 90 seconds and asks for baseline information before any medical-record review.

What are the first baseline requirements?

Most candidates should be 21–38, have given birth to and be raising at least one child, have a BMI under 35, and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

What happens after the quick form?

Patriot Conceptions reviews the baseline fit information and connects candidates who may fit with coordinator follow-up, then later screening, matching, medical-clearance, and legal steps.
