Surrogate compensation refers to the financial payment provided to a surrogate mother for carrying and delivering a baby on behalf of another person or couple. This compensation typically covers various expenses such as medical costs, legal fees, and other related expenses, along with a base fee for the surrogate’s time, effort, and the physical demands of pregnancy. The amount and structure of surrogate compensation can vary widely depending on the agreement, the surrogate’s location, and the specific circumstances of the surrogacy arrangement.
