Surrogates

Surrogate requirements

Choosing to be a surrogate, or gestational carrier, is a noble decision, but your health remains our top priority. Just as we screen intended parents for criminal background and mental readiness, gestational carriers must undergo a detailed screening process that follows ASRM guidelines.

First-time surrogates earn $50,000–$60,000 in base compensation, with medical care, travel, childcare and life insurance covered.

How much does surrogacy cost in California?

Total surrogacy costs in California generally range from $120,000–$180,000+, depending on surrogate compensation, IVF clinic fees, legal fees, agency fees, insurance and escrow.

How much do surrogates get paid?

First-time surrogates at Royal earn $50,000–$60,000 in base compensation. Experienced surrogates earn $60,000–$80,000+. Medical costs, travel, lost wages, childcare and life insurance are covered on top of base pay.

How long does surrogacy take?

For intended parents the whole journey typically takes 14–20 months, depending on IVF, matching and legal steps. Surrogates can reach their transfer cycle in as little as 9 weeks after applying.
