Why Be A Surrogate?
Becoming a surrogate involves big commitment, but ultimately brings the reward of helping create new families.
Compensation & Costs
For a first-time surrogate in Georgia, base compensation often ranges between $55,000 and $70,000. This amount reflects the significant commitment you are making, physically, emotionally, and in terms of time. If you have prior experience as a surrogate, you may receive a higher base compensation, sometimes exceeding $85,000, to recognize the experience and dedication you bring to the process.
Additional Benefits
Beyond your base compensation, Georgia surrogates also receive reimbursements and stipends to cover pregnancy-related costs, helping ensure your comfort and wellbeing throughout the journey.
These may include:
- Maternity Clothing Allowance: A set stipend to purchase clothing and essentials needed during pregnancy.
- Medical Insurance: Intended parents typically secure or cover a comprehensive policy for prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care.
- Monthly Allowance: A stipend for incidental expenses such as parking for medical appointments, phone calls, or other small costs.
- Childcare and Travel Costs: If you have children, childcare is generally covered, and travel expenses related to medical appointments (fuel, lodging if required, etc.) are reimbursed.
- $4,000 Signing Bonus: A one-time payment provided when you sign your surrogacy contract, acknowledging your dedication from the start.
When these benefits are combined with base compensation, many Georgia surrogates receive a total package that approaches or exceeds $80,000.
Health Insurance and Coverage
In Georgia, intended parents are expected to provide a comprehensive health insurance policy that covers all pregnancy-related medical care. Surrogates should not have to pay out-of-pocket for prenatal, delivery, or postpartum expenses. Deductibles, copayments, and any uncovered costs are reimbursed by the intended parents. If your existing health insurance excludes surrogacy, the intended parents will secure a suitable policy or ensure that any gaps in coverage are addressed.
Georgia Surrogate Requirements
We generally work with surrogates between 21 and 40 years old that are a United States Citizen.
This age range helps ensure candidates are physically ready for pregnancy while balancing overall health and lifestyle factors. A Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 and 32 is recommended, as maintaining a healthy weight reduces medical risks during pregnancy and supports a safer experience for both surrogate and baby.
Before becoming a surrogate, you must have successfully carried at least one pregnancy to term without major complications.
This demonstrates your ability to handle the physical demands of pregnancy and gives you valuable insight into what to expect during the process.
All surrogates undergo a thorough medical evaluation to confirm overall health and to identify any conditions that could pose a risk during pregnancy.
A psychological assessment is also part of the process, ensuring you are emotionally prepared for the responsibilities of surrogacy. Our goal is to make sure you feel confident and supported from the very beginning.
A background check is included in our standard screening.
This step provides reassurance to you, the intended parents, and the agency that there are no legal or ethical issues, either for you or your partner, that could interfere with the surrogacy process.
Surrogates in Georgia must work with their own legal counsel to review and finalize the surrogacy contract.
Your attorney will safeguard your rights, explain the court order process for establishing parentage, and make sure you fully understand every detail of the agreement.
Surrogacy for LGBTQ+ Families
At Abundant Beginnings, we believe in inclusivity and offer equal opportunities to all aspiring surrogates, regardless of the sexual orientation or marital status of the intended parents.
