Your Surrogacy Journey, Your Impact. Centered on You.
Your compassion as a surrogate helps build families, and your journey deserves to be honored. Take our short quiz to see if becoming a surrogate with Reproductive Options is right for you.
A Surrogacy Experience Designed Around You
At Reproductive Options, your experience as a surrogate comes first — always
Unlike other surrogacy agencies that prioritize speed and volume, we believe surrogacy should never feel rushed or transactional. You are not “a case” or a number — you are a woman making a life-changing decision, and your experience as a surrogate deserves intention, care, and respect.
Reproductive Options was founded in 2020 by ASRM member Kayla Reveal, who brings more than 15 years of hands-on expertise across every facet of our surrogacy agency. As a former surrogate herself, Kayla built Reproductive Options as a true reflection of her values and lived experience: a surrogacy agency created by a surrogate, for surrogates.
That perspective shapes everything we do. We take the time to truly understand you — your goals, your boundaries, and what matters most — so every match is thoughtful, respectful, and rooted in mutual trust. With personalized guidance, unmatched advocacy, and a team that remains present and supportive, we create a surrogacy experience where you feel confident, valued, and genuinely cared for as you help bring new life into the world.
Real Stories. Real Support.

Surrogate Compensation
At Reproductive Options, we recognize the dedication, time, and commitment that surrogates provide. Surrogates receive competitive compensation that reflects the value of their contribution. Experienced surrogates can earn up to $100,000 in base compensation, plus a comprehensive benefits package that may include medical coverage, maternity clothing allowance, and other perks.
Surrogates are encouraged to set their own base fee, which can be adjusted based on factors like state guidelines, prior experience, and the specifics of your journey. Compensation can help strengthen your financial future or contribute to your family’s goals. All surrogacy-related medical costs are covered, and compensation is provided in addition to that coverage.
Our goal is to provide fair, transparent, and flexible compensation while ensuring a safe, supportive, and meaningful surrogacy experience.
