Thinking About
Becoming a Surrogate?

We know it's not just curiosity. It's your desire to make an extraordinary impact.

Carrying a child for someone who can’t is one of the greatest things a person can do. We’ll never pretend it’s simple, and we won’t rush you into it. We’ll tell you the truth about every step, so you can decide what’s best for you.

Start with a 5-minute quiz. It’s not an application or a commitment. It’s how we figure out if this is a fit for you and for us.

Then you’ll get a real conversation with a real surrogate who’ll walk you through the whole process, answer the hard questions, and take as long as you need.

Take the quiz. It could change your life.

Qualifications & Requirements

We’re selective. That’s how we protect you.

Carrying a baby for someone else will change your life. It asks a lot of you: your body, your time, your family’s patience. So we ask a lot of ourselves first.

Every application gets a careful, personal review. Not to shut doors, but to make sure this is the right fit for everyone involved, and that includes you. Our requirements exist to protect you, the baby, the intended parents, and the people who love you.

Meet them, and you won’t just be approved. You’ll start a journey that’s safe, supported, and something you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. To be eligible to become a surrogate with Reproductive Options, you must:

Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
Be between 21 and 39 years old
Maintain a healthy BMI between 19 and 32
Have had at least one successful pregnancy
Be financially stable
Have a support system — this could be family, friends, or a partner
Maintain stable mental health
Not use recreational drugs
Have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
Pass a background check, along with any household members over 18

Compensation

You’ll be paid like what you’re doing matters. Because it does.

Experienced surrogates can earn up to $100,000 in base compensation. That’s before benefits, and it’s yours to put toward your family’s future: a home, a degree, a cushion, a fresh start.

And you have a say. You’re encouraged to set your own base fee, adjusted for your experience, your state, and the specifics of your journey. We’d rather you ask for what you’re worth than guess.

Every surrogacy-related medical cost is covered, and your compensation comes on top of that, not out of it. Your benefits package can include medical coverage, a maternity clothing allowance, and more.

No fine print. No mystery math. Just fair, clear compensation for one of the most meaningful things a person can do.

Real Stories. Real Support.

No one understands the surrogacy journey better than the women who’ve lived it. These real stories offer an honest look at what it means to feel respected, supported, and advocated for as a surrogate with Reproductive Options.

"I completed my first surrogacy journey, and I can’t say enough good things about Reproductive Options! From the start, they were incredibly fast, reliable, and professional, which made the entire experience so much easier than I could’ve imagined. As a first-time surrogate, I had a lot of questions and uncertainties, but the team was always there to provide clear answers and support every step of the way. They took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I understood every part of the process, which made me feel confident and prepared. I never felt overwhelmed because they were proactive in keeping me informed and guiding me through each phase."

“I absolutely adore Reproductive Options! I completed my first surrogacy journey back in February of 2024 and it was an AMAZING journey! Even when road bumps were hit Kayla was on point and prepared to help. Everyone at Reproductive Options has a way of making sure everyone in the journey is feeling important, heard, and cared for. Kayla was a huge advocate for me and really made sure I was comfortable with everything at all times. I really cannot emphasize enough just how easy the entire process was from start to finish. Growing the small bean was the hardest/most tiring part. I will continue to use Reproductive Options for my next journey!”

“Reproductive Options is one of the best agencies I’ve ever worked with. I’ve completed three surrogate journeys, and my last journey was with them. Needless to say, it was by far the best experience. Everything was smooth from start to finish, and they stood by me every step of the way. I never had to worry because they were always organized, supportive, and on top of every detail. I highly recommend Reproductive Options to anyone considering this incredible journey!”

“Working with the RO team was so amazing!! From start to finish and beyond they have all been very helpful and caring!! I just had my first journey with them and delivered in October 2025 and I hope to do another journey soon!! They are all very informative and will help in any way they can - honestly they go above and BEYOND for the surrogates and intended parents alike. I am very glad that I chose RO as my agency, I didn’t feel like a “number” like when I was calling other agencies - before finding RO. They welcomed me with open arms into this amazing community and were beyond supportive!”

“Being a first time surrogate mom for Reproductive Options has truly been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of my life. From the very beginning, I felt supported, respected, and genuinely cared for—not just as a surrogate, but as a person. The entire journey was handled with professionalism, compassion, and clear communication every step of the way. Any questions or concerns I had were always addressed quickly, and I never felt alone throughout the process. The intended parents they matched me with were incredibly kind and appreciative, which made the experience even more special."
