If you opt to work with an agency, thorough research into your options is crucial. Finding an agency that aligns well with your individual needs and perspectives is paramount. Look for a connection and shared understanding of the surrogacy process. In states like Nebraska, where specific surrogacy laws are absent, it’s especially important to select an agency with lawyers well-versed in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and surrogacy law.

An egg donor is a young, fertile woman who generously donates her eggs, allowing another individual or couple to create embryos and fulfill their dream of starting a family. Once embryos are formed, they are transferred into either the intended parent’s or gestational surrogate’s uterus to facilitate pregnancy. Egg donation represents a beautiful path to parenthood.

For those embarking on a surrogacy journey requiring an egg donor, Surrogacy4All recommends initiating your search with our partner, the Everie Egg Donation Program. Everie offers both fresh and frozen egg donor programs and supports informed decision-making throughout the egg donation process.

Many intended parents choose to select an egg donor and create embryos either before entering into surrogacy or while awaiting a surrogate match. If you choose an egg donor through Everie and partner with Surrogacy4All as your agency, our dedicated coordination team will provide comprehensive support throughout both your egg donation and surrogacy journeys, ensuring you receive guidance and assistance from one experienced team.

Matching with a surrogate is an exciting milestone on your path to parenthood. AtSurrogacy4All, we collaborate with gestational surrogates from Nebraska and neighboring states, facilitating the search for your ideal match.

When matching intended parents with a gestational carrier, other preferences taken into account include:

These criteria serve as guidelines for those considering surrogacy independently, offering insights into what to prioritize when searching for a suitable match.

3 Criteria for Finding Surrogate

Health and Medical History

Ensure the surrogate has a clean bill of health, no history of significant medical conditions, and has had at least one successful pregnancy without complications.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

We understand the frustrations our past surrogates faced with medical expenses, and we’ve made significant improvements.

This way, we protect both our surrogates and intended parents, providing peace of mind throughout the process.

    How Much Do Surrogates Get Paid in Nebraska?

    Helping someone have a baby means receiving financial compensation, often referred to as “surrogate base compensation” or “surrogate payment.” Previous surrogates assisted Surrogacy4all Surrogacy in developing a comprehensive compensation and benefits program for surrogates and their families. This program offers unmatched security, benefits, and protection.

    Our new Surrogate Pay & Family Protection Program provides the following benefits:

    • Earning up to $45,000-$85,000+ (your base fee plus additional benefits)
    • Protection for the surrogate and her family throughout the journey
    • All expenses paid, from travel to meals to gas and more
    • Benefits and support through postpartum (the 4th trimester)
    • Full transparency on what’s included
    • Benefits you won’t find at any other agency

    How Does Surrogate Pay Work?

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
    All surrogates will start with a base compensation. This may be based on where you live, whether or not you have insurance, or whether this is your first time as a surrogate. This is only the beginning of your compensation as there are many additional payments that make up your total compensation.
    Signing payments and payments for your medical screening are examples of compensation provided by us early in the surrogacy process. These payments are in addition to your base compensation.
    We compensates surrogates for their necessities during and after pregnancy, including maternity clothing, housekeeping, pumping and shipping breast milk, and more. These payments are in addition to your base compensation.
    Surrogates receive other non-monetary benefits—in addition to financial compensation—that are priceless in ensuring they’re protected and have a smooth journey. These benefits include legal counsel, life insurance, and more.
