Surrogacy FAQs

Surrogates come from all different backgrounds, but they have one important thing in common — the desire to help people in an incredibly unique and important way. There are plenty of misconceptions about the women who become surrogates, but, in the end, they’re just women who are able to help build a family.

A common requirement for surrogates is that they’ve already completed their own family, so they’re usually raising children of their own and are finacially stabled.

An embryo will be created in a fertility clinic  lab using IVF and will be transferred  to the surrogate’s uterus by a fertility clinic doctor.

For the surrogate, this experience of becoming pregnant will be entirely different from her previous pregnancies in a number of ways. She’ll take a carefully timed series of medications to prepare for that embryo transfer, be monitored more closely than she would with a “traditional” pregnancy, and more.

While many women have hearts generous enough to be a surrogate for someone else, only a special few women will also meet the requirements to become a surrogate.  These screening processes are there for the protection of the surrogate herself, as well as to protect intended parents and any resulting children.

There are physical, social, legal, and emotional requirements. The specifics of these criteria can vary somewhat depending on the state and the surrogacy professional.

This might seem like a lot, but it’s important that a woman is 100 percent ready and healthy enough for surrogacy in every way before she begins — for her own overall wellbeing and for the wellbeing of the intended parents’ baby.

Although altruistic surrogacy sounds nice, it’s not always recommended because it can sometimes bring up feelings of resentment. Surrogates go through a lot for someone else’s family. While all surrogates do this because they want to help, the compensation paid usually makes things feel more “fair” in the relationship.

Remember that a surrogate will need to take time away from work and her children for surrogacy- and pregnancy-related appointments and recovery. She’ll also be making significant sacrifices to her time and body, and she’s putting forth no small effort into this journey. Compensation for all of this is fair and reasonable.

It’s a common misconception that surrogates get rich from surrogacy. But, after being reimbursed for the pregnancy expenses such as doctor’s bills.  Future Generation Surrogacy Group offers  base compensation for a first-time surrogate is $50,000 as minimumn and for proven surrogate mother, we will match any numbers. Plus, we offer more than $10,000 additional benefit package for all our surrogate mothers.  — enough to set aside for a new home or her child’s college fund, but not exactly a fortune. Clearly, we know the surrogates are not in it for the money.

From the time a person begins the process to the moment the baby is born, it usually takes one to two years.

There are a number of variables that will affect this: time spent waiting for a match with a surrogacy partner, however long it takes for the surrogate to become pregnant, and more. 

Some travel may be required during the initial stages of the surrogacy process as you meet with your surrogacy professional and prospective intended parents. Initial medical procedures, including the embryo transfer, are often performed at an agreed-upon clinic near the intended parents’ home.

However, any travel expenses you incur (as well as any lost wages and necessary childcare expenses incurred during your absence) will be covered by the intended parents, and you will likely be able to spend the majority of your pregnancy at home.

The birth of the baby is one of the most exciting and rewarding steps of the entire surrogacy process. Most surrogates involve the intended parents in the labor and delivery process and celebrate with them as they welcome their new baby into the world. If they haven’t already, the intended parents will assume full parental rights at this point in the process.

You may experience a mix of emotions after the birth, including excitement, pride and satisfaction. However, if you find yourself experiencing any difficult feelings, Future Generation Surrogacy Group will assist and support you by professionals.

From there, you will always share an important connection with the intended parents and child. You may choose to maintain an ongoing relationship with the family as the child grows.
