Why Be A Surrogate?
Becoming a surrogate involves big commitment, but ultimately brings the reward of helping create new families.
Compensation & Costs for Surrogacy in Oregon
In Oregon, surrogacy is not only a legally supported path—it’s also a deeply valued one. First-time surrogates in Oregon typically receive a base compensation ranging from $55,000 to $65,000, recognizing the incredible commitment you’re making physically, emotionally, and with your time. If you’ve previously been a surrogate, your base compensation may exceed $70,000, honoring the experience and dedication you bring to the journey.
Additional Benefits
Along with base compensation, surrogates in Oregon receive a variety of stipends and reimbursements to ensure your comfort, security, and well-being every step of the way. These may include:
- Maternity Clothing Allowance: A dedicated stipend to help you feel comfortable and prepared throughout your pregnancy.
- Medical Insurance: Intended parents will provide or cover a comprehensive policy that includes prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum needs.
- Monthly Allowance: A recurring stipend to cover incidental costs like parking for appointments, cell phone usage, or small pregnancy-related expenses.
- Childcare & Travel Reimbursement: If you have children, childcare for appointments is typically covered. Travel expenses—such as gas, hotel stays, or meals—are also reimbursed if needed.
- $4,000 Signing Bonus: A one-time bonus upon signing your surrogacy agreement, acknowledging your early commitment and enthusiasm for the journey ahead.
When these benefits are combined, total compensation for surrogates in Oregon often exceeds $80,000, depending on your specific circumstances and experience.
Health Insurance & Coverage
While Oregon does not have specific statutes regulating surrogacy compensation or insurance requirements, it’s standard practice—and a priority for ABC Surrogacy—that intended parents provide full insurance coverage for their surrogate. You should never be financially responsible for prenatal, delivery, or postpartum medical care. If your personal insurance does not cover surrogacy-related care, a separate policy will be arranged on your behalf, and any out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles or copays are reimbursed.
Peace of Mind from Start to Finish
Oregon is widely considered a surrogacy-friendly state, with a long history of successful arrangements and supportive legal processes. With ABC Surrogacy, you’ll have a dedicated team in your corner—handling logistics, advocating for your needs, and making sure your financial and medical protections are honored every step of the way. Your wellbeing is our priority, and we’re here to ensure this journey is not only life-changing—but also supported, secure, and rewarding.
Oregon Surrogate Requirements
At ABC Surrogacy, we’re honored to work with compassionate women across Oregon who are ready to help families grow. To ensure a safe and successful journey for everyone involved, our surrogates must meet a few key criteria.
Age Requirements
- We typically work with surrogates between 21 and 40 years old. This age range helps ensure optimal health and minimizes medical risks during pregnancy.
Healthy BMI
A Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 and 32 is recommended. Maintaining a healthy weight supports a smoother pregnancy and helps safeguard your wellbeing and the baby’s health.
Previous Pregnancy Experience
All surrogates must have previously carried at least one pregnancy to term without major complications. This experience shows your body is ready for pregnancy and gives you insight into what to expect.
Residency & Citizenship
You must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or green card holder. If you’re a legal resident or immigrant, your documentation should remain valid for at least two years to help streamline the legal process.
Medical & Psychological Screening
Before becoming a surrogate, you’ll undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to confirm you’re physically ready for pregnancy.
You’ll also complete a psychological screening to ensure you’re emotionally prepared and feel fully supported throughout the experience.
Background Check
A standard background check is part of our process to ensure a safe and ethical journey for everyone involved, including your family and the intended parents.
Independent Legal Representation
Every surrogate works with her own experienced surrogacy attorney. This is an essential step to review your contract, protect your rights, and make sure you understand all responsibilities and legal aspects of the arrangement. Your attorney will guide you with care and clarity.
Surrogacy in Oregon is both empowering and life-changing. With the right support system and thoughtful screening, you can begin this journey with confidence—knowing that your health, rights, and contributions are fully respected every step of the way.
Screening Process for Potential Surrogates
Becoming a surrogate is a life-changing decision—one rooted in generosity, strength, and compassion. Oregon has long been considered a surrogacy-friendly state, with a clear and supportive path for those who wish to help families grow. At Abundant Beginnings Co. (ABC Surrogacy), we guide you through every step of this transformative journey, starting with a thoughtful and comprehensive screening process.
What to Expect During Screening
Before you’re matched with intended parents, we’ll help you complete several key screenings. Each step is designed to prioritize your health, wellbeing, and readiness—and we’ll be right by your side to make the process as smooth and reassuring as possible.
Medical Screening
- In-Depth Evaluation: You’ll meet with a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) for a full review of your medical history, a physical exam, and lab testing. This ensures your body is well-prepared for a healthy pregnancy.
- Partner Participation: If you have a partner, they may also be asked to complete routine lab work, helping to create a stable and supportive environment for your surrogacy journey.
- Safety First: These evaluations are designed to safeguard your health and confirm you’re physically ready to carry a child.
Psychological Evaluation & Personality Testing
- Emotional Readiness: Surrogacy is a deeply emotional experience. You (and your partner, if applicable) will meet with a licensed mental health professional to explore your motivations and ensure you feel emotionally supported throughout.
- Personality Assessment: This helps us understand your strengths, emotional resilience, and expectations for the journey ahead.
- Ongoing Mental Health Support: Should you move forward, you’ll have access to counseling and mental health resources throughout the process—for your peace of mind and wellbeing.
Background Checks
- Safety for Everyone: A background check is conducted for you and all adults in your household. This ensures a secure, responsible environment for you, your family, and the intended parents.
- Trust from the Start: We believe a solid foundation of trust is essential. Our screening process helps build that from day one—for you and the families you’ll help.

The Surrogacy Process
At Abundant Beginnings Co. (ABC Surrogacy), we follow trusted best practices—like those recommended by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)—to ensure a safe, respectful, and fulfilling surrogacy journey for everyone involved. Here’s an overview of what you can expect when you become a surrogate in Oregon.
Matching and Contracting
We take the matching process seriously—reviewing your preferences alongside those of the intended parents to create a meaningful, comfortable connection. Independent consultations help both parties discuss values, communication styles, and expectations before committing to move forward.
Once you and your intended parents are ready, we’ll connect you with an experienced Oregon-based surrogacy attorney to review and negotiate the contract. You’ll receive independent legal counsel to ensure your rights are protected and that you fully understand every part of your agreement.
Signing the Agreement
After careful discussion and agreement on all terms, both you and the intended parents sign a legal surrogacy contract. This document outlines compensation, roles and responsibilities, delivery preferences, and other important details—setting the stage for a smooth and informed journey together.
Ongoing & Communication
After a successful embryo transfer, you’ll continue with routine prenatal care from your OB/GYN. Regular checkups, open communication with the intended parents, and the support of our team help keep everything on track and everyone informed. Many intended parents enjoy staying updated on the pregnancy and sharing in milestones with you along the way.
Legal Preperations
Around the second trimester, we’ll notify your legal team to begin the process of securing a pre-birth parentage order, which is commonly granted in Oregon—especially when at least one intended parent shares a genetic connection with the child. This ensures that, by the time of delivery, the intended parents’ legal rights are fully in place.
Delivery & Post-Birth Considerations
Surrogacy is a meaningful commitment—one that goes beyond just medical appointments. It’s an emotional and physical experience that requires communication, patience, and the support of loved ones. Having a solid foundation—whether through a partner, close friends, or family—helps you stay grounded throughout the ups and downs of pregnancy.
At ABC Surrogacy, we make sure you have emotional and logistical support every step of the way, so you feel valued and cared for through the entire process.

We believe in building a welcoming space for all people involved in the surrogacy process, where surrogates feel valued and supported, and intended parents feel empowered and respected.
