Frequently asked questions
When do my payments officially begin?
Your monthly allowance begins as soon as legal contracts are complete. Milestone payments occur before pregnancy, and base monthly pay starts upon ultrasound confirmation of fetal heartbeat.
How is my money protected?
Intended parents are required to fully fund an independent escrow account managed by a reputable third-party escrow company before any medical transfer procedures. Your compensation is guaranteed and paid automatically on fixed dates.
What if an embryo transfer is unsuccessful?
You retain all milestone fees and monthly allowances paid up to that point. You are never asked to return funds for completed phases. Most surrogates and intended parents commit to trying another transfer, if medically indicated.
Can I ask for higher pay than the standard $72,100 minimum?
Yes. CCRM actively encourages gestational carriers to customize their compensation package before matching to ensure it aligns with their family goals.
Ready to take the first step?
The surrogacy process begins with an application and a conversation, with no commitment to continue.
