Texas Based, Professional Surrogacy Agency

Surrogate Compensation at Choice Surrogacy®

 When you partner with Choice Surrogacy®, you’re choosing
more than surrogate compensation.

When you become a Choice surrogate, you're choosing to work with a team of industry professionals who will champion and protect your future, honoring your commitment every step of the way. One way we do that? By offering a surrogate compensation package that’s transparent, generous, and unmatched.

We know you have questions:

“How much do surrogates get paid?”
“What’s the average surrogate compensation in 2026?”
“How are surrogates paid?”

And we’re here with clear, honest answers. This page outlines our compensation package in detail.

Most women considering surrogacy want to know two things: how much they’ll be paid and what support they’ll receive. Below, owner Trish Taylor provides a clear breakdown of the compensation and how we'll support you as a Choice surrogate. 

Trish breaks down how Choice keeps compensation honest from the start, without gimmicks, fake bonuses, or inflated "up to " offers, and how our $5,000.00 BEST offer guarantee works.

What Is Surrogate Compensation?

Surrogate compensation is the pay and financial support a gestational surrogate receives for the time, commitment, and responsibilities involved in the surrogacy process.  At Choice, that compensation is designed as a complete package that includes base pay, monthly support, and built-in protection, without inflated offers, fake bonuses, or hidden strings, and it fits within Choice's all-inclusive program model for intended parents.  In this video, Trish Taylor explains how that approach shapes the way Choice handles surrogate compensation from the start.

Surrogate Compensation Base Pay 

First-Time Surrogate Receive $55,000 in base pay, 

Paid in 10 equal monthly installments of $5,500.

In this video, Trish explains: 

  • Base pay begins after the pregnancy heartbeat is confirmed on ultrasound and continues through delivery.
  • You receive the full amount if you carry past 28 weeks of gestation.
  • There are no deductions based on your employment status, location, or personal health insurance.

Experienced Surrogate Bonus - added to your base pay !

If you have completed a surrogate pregnancy before, your experience is reflected in your compensation. Choice discusses experienced surrogate pay individually based on your prior journey and the needs of the match.  

  • Contact Choice to discuss experienced surrogate compensation.

Expense Allowance Payment 

Choice Provides a  $500 Monthly Allowance 

Paid on the 1st of every month.

In this video, Trish explains:

  • Monthly support begins when your medical records are IVF approved at confirmed match with intended parents
  • Choice offers the highest monthly allowance in the industry at $500 per month. Payments start earlier than another agency. 
  • This allowance helps cover everyday needs related to the surrogacy process.
  • No pre-approval or reimbursement tracking is required
  • Funds arrive on time directly to your account.

Built-in Benefits for Surrogates 

Everything You Need, Covered 

At Choice, the care and services needed to protect and support you are built into the program, so you are not left covering essential surrogacy- related costs on your own. 

In this video, Trish explains: 

  • Independent legal representation is provided to protect and guide you through your surrogacy contract at no cost to you. 
  • Travel for appointments is arranged by Choice, with personal support throughout the process.
  • A life insurance policy is included during your surrogacy journey. 
  • Health insurance is reviewed, and if needed, a new surrogate pregnancy policy is arranged and paid for by Choice.
  • Additional financial support is provided if pregnancy complications affect your work or home life.
  • That support may include lost wages, home help, or childcare when medically necessary.
  • Payments are paid in the event of c-section, loss or organ or other medical complications.
