Becoming a surrogate is not only generous but it’s also no easy feat. That’s why our surrogates are generously compensated for their dedication to helping others grow their families. We’re here to guide you through the surrogate process and ensure that you are compensated for any related costs.
Alpha Fidelis surrogates are compensated for their dedicated services in helping families grow. The specific details of surrogacy compensation can vary depending on the state and the specific surrogacy agreement. Surrogates are compensated for their time, effort, and any associated expenses during the surrogacy process. The intended parents are responsible for the base fee, all medical expenses, legal and agency fees, and any additional expenses that the surrogate may accrue during their journey.
All OIF surrogates receive base pay and additional benefits associated with their journey. Surrogacy compensation typically varies depending on the experience of the surrogate. Those who have been a surrogate more than once, are generally compensated more for their generous service than first-time surrogates. First-timers are, of course, still compensated greatly for their service.
Once the legal contract between the surrogate and intended parent(s) is complete and official, the surrogate receives a bonus.
Intended parents purchase health insurance for the surrogate so it is no cost to our surrogates. If the surrogate already has health insurance, the intended parents can also cover the insurance costs.
Intended parents purchase life insurance for the surrogate so it is no cost to our surrogates. If the surrogate already has life insurance, the intended parents can also cover the insurance costs.
All tests done for the medical screening process will be completely covered by the intended parent(s).
The intended parent(s) will cover the cost to meet with a licensed psychologist.
All legal fees related to the surrogacy journey, including receiving legal counsel, will be covered by the intended parent(s).

The monthly support bonus is given to surrogates who are undergoing therapy with a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).
