Surrogate Compensation in Florida - Surrogacy and Egg Donor Services

How Much Do Surrogates Get Paid in Florida?

After making the decision to become a surrogate mother, one of the first questions we usually hear is “how much do surrogates get paid?” In today’s blog we are going to discuss surrogate compensation and go over the other fees that get paid to surrogate mothers throughout their surrogacy journey.

Surrogate base compensation in Florida

Surrogate mothers working with a surrogacy agency usually will receive a “base compensation” for being a surrogate. The base compensation is based on a number of factors, including if the surrogate is a first-time surrogate or experienced surrogate. For surrogate mothers in Florida, when working with a surrogacy agency you can expect a base compensation between $45,000 to $50,000, depending on the factors.

At Creative Love Egg Donor & Surrogacy Agency we follow the legal gestational surrogacy statue that clearly states, “compensation to a gestational carrier should be within reason”. This is just a guideline for surrogacy compensation. This allows our surrogacy agency to offer some of the highest base compensation in the state of Florida. At Creative Love our first-time surrogate compensation package starts with a base of $45,000.00 +. We offer the highest compensation packages in Florida.

Additional compensation for surrogate mothers

In addition to the base compensation, some surrogacy agencies may also offer additional compensation to the surrogate mother. At Creative Love we offer additional compensation throughout your surrogacy journey, including the below:

  • Monthly Allowance – $350/mo (12 months or longer)
