The Starting Point
Base Compensation
Base compensation is the primary payment you receive for the time, commitment, and physical demands involved in carrying a pregnancy as a gestational surrogate. It is separate from the additional benefits, allowances, and reimbursements included in your complete compensation package.
At Creative Love, we believe surrogate compensation should reflect your experience and the commitment you are making. Before you are presented to intended parents, we will talk with you about your compensation expectations and review the complete package available to you.
Experience Matters
First-time gestational surrogates can earn upwards of $75,000 in compensation and benefits through Creative Love.
Experienced gestational surrogates may qualify for higher compensation based on their previous successful surrogacy journeys and individual circumstances.
Additional Compensation & Coverage
Your base compensation is only one part of your complete surrogate compensation package. Additional benefits and reimbursements are designed to cover eligible expenses and circumstances that may arise throughout your surrogacy journey.
Depending on your individual agreement, your package may include compensation or reimbursement for:
Lost wages for approved appointments or physician-ordered bed rest
Childcare and housekeeping when medically necessary
Maternity clothing
Embryo transfer
Invasive medical procedures
C-section delivery
Travel and lodging when required
Approved expenses for a support person
Health insurance and eligible medical expenses
Additional benefits outlined in your surrogacy agreement
Our goal is simple: you should not have to pay surrogacy-related expenses out of your own pocket.
Celebrating You Along the Way
Your compensation recognizes the time, commitment, and care you give throughout your surrogacy journey. Beyond your compensation package, we also believe the meaningful moments along the way deserve to be celebrated.
Creative Love surprises our surrogates with special milestone gifts throughout their journey as our way of saying thank you and showing how much we appreciate the incredible commitment you are making.
From matching and transfer day to pregnancy milestones and delivery, we love celebrating right alongside you. You are an important part of the Creative Love family, and we want you to feel appreciated, supported, and celebrated every step of the way.
Screened Before You Match
At Creative Love, we complete our comprehensive pre-screening process before introducing you to intended parents. This allows you to move into the matching process prepared and gives intended parents greater confidence when meeting you.
You’ll also have a voice in your match. We’ll talk with you about the type of intended parents and surrogacy journey you’re hoping for, and you’ll have the opportunity to get to know them before deciding if the match feels right for you.
