At our practice the surrogate mother base pay varies from $45,000 to $85,000. But that is a beginning.

A typical surrogate mother depending on the contract she signs with the Intended Parents can get paid substantial additional amounts Based on the following:

Which USA States are best for Surrogacy?

Some USA States are better for surrogacy than others. The best states for surrogacy for a surrogate mother are:
  •  California
  •  Colorado
  •  Connecticut
  •  District of Columbia
  •  Delaware
  •  Maine
  •  New Hampshire
  •  New Jersey
  •  Nevada
  •  Vermont
  •  Washington
We recommend surrogacy be done in the above listed Green States, with California being one of our favorites due to fact that surrogacy is permitted for all parents including LGBTQ, both parents’ names will be on the birth certificate, and we can get pre-birth orders in these states easily. Even if you live in a different state then the above, you can legally be a surrogate mom in these states by working with an IVF Clinic we can recommend for the Intended Parents to use, in these states. The worst states for surrogacy are:
  •  Louisiana
  •  Michigan
  •  Nebraska
We also have issues with parentage order laws and surrogacy contracts in:
  •  Arizona
  •  Idaho
  •  Indiana
  •  Tennessee
  •  Virginia
  •  Wyoming
In many of these states the problem for a surrogate mother and Intended Parents is that published case law in these states may prohibit compensation for the surrogate mother under surrogacy contracts. In addition, it is possible that a birth certificate with both parents’ names on the birth certificate is impossible to obtain.
