There are two types of surrogacy: traditional and gestational. At SPS, we exclusively work with gestational surrogates.
A gestational surrogate, also known as a gestational carrier, is a woman who carries and delivers a baby for another person or couple. Unlike traditional surrogacy, the gestational surrogate has no genetic connection to the child. The embryo is created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) using eggs and sperm from the intended parents or donors, and then transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.
Becoming a surrogate is one of the most selfless and rewarding decisions a person can make. However, it’s not a decision to take lightly. It’s crucial to be sure that surrogacy is the right choice for you and your family, and you’re fully prepared for this commitment.
Beyond physical and emotional readiness, it’s important that your motivations are coming from the right place, you have strong support from family and friends, and you’re prepared to navigate the sometimes challenging journey ahead. The process requires dedication and resilience, but it’s deeply fulfilling for those who are truly ready.
SPS offers one of the most competitive benefits packages in California. Our base compensation is $65,000 for first-time surrogates, and $75,000 for surrogates who have had at least one or more journeys.
Our surrogates also receive $13,000 in guaranteed extras, which includes:
– A signing bonus
– Our exclusive pamper package to treat yourself to something special throughout the pregnancy
– A custom health and wellness program with a physical therapist
– A maternity clothing allowance
– A house cleaning allowance once you are pregnant
– And more
We’re by your side from the moment you start your journey with us. Your dedicated case manager will support you through all appointments and milestones, ensuring you feel cared for and supported throughout the entire process.
Our case managers have all been surrogates with SPS at least once. This firsthand experience gives them a unique understanding of your journey, allowing them to provide insightful, empathetic support tailored to your specific needs.
We prioritize your emotional well-being throughout the process. You’ll attend monthly support meetings led by a licensed mental health professional, which helps you navigate the ups and downs of surrogacy and gives you a sense of community along the way.
You’ll work with a team of experienced professionals at every step of your journey. From skilled medical experts to reputable surrogacy attorneys, we collaborate with licensed professionals to ensure your journey is as smooth and successful as possible.
Each surrogate’s story is unique and special. Here’s what some of our surrogates have to say about their experiences:
“In just seconds, you watch someone transform into a mom or dad when all they could do before was dream of being one. Nothing was more magical other than when I had my own children.” – Jaleesa
“Never in my life did I ever think I would be able to do something that would help someone in such a huge way. I will never forget the look on my IPs’ faces when they saw their daughter. I’m so happy to have helped them grow their family, and I am forever grateful to SPS for introducing us to the people we now call family.” – Mindy
“Aside from having my own child, I’ve never had such a feeling of accomplishment. It also made me feel incredibly valuable and almost superhuman to be able to help people in such a way.” –Daryl

I am so grateful I chose to be a surrogate through SPS. The staff is so amazing and super friendly. They always answered all of my 101 questions no matter the time of day and made sure they knew I was not alone throughout my whole journey. They genuinely cared about my well-being and always made sure I came first. They paired me with the most amazing IPs and turned a contract into a family. I can’t wait to watch my surrobabe grow and give him a sibling. Thanks again, SPS!
