Surrogates will need to meet a few key requirements before beginning their journey. You'll need to be between 21 and 40 years old, have had at least one full-term, uncomplicated birth, and be in excellent overall health with a BMI under 31. Surrogates should also live a stable, healthy lifestyle, be smoke-free (including a smoke-free household), and feel comfortable taking injectable medications and traveling for medical appointments and embryo transfer. Every situation is a little different, so if you're unsure whether you qualify, simply apply — we'll review your information quickly and let you know your eligibility.

Becoming a surrogate begins with a brief application to confirm that you meet the basic requirements, including being in excellent overall health, having a healthy pregnancy history, and meeting age and lifestyle criteria. Once qualified, we'll work with you to gather your previous medical records and schedule a video meeting to discuss what you're looking for in a match and answer any questions you may have. From there, Newborn Advantage will personally guide you through every step — from your application and interview to onboarding, medical and psychological clearance, legal contracts, matching, and delivery — so you always feel supported and confident throughout your journey.

Compensation is competitive and transparent, typically including a base fee plus allowances for maternity clothing, travel, medical appointments, and lost wages where applicable. Final numbers vary by experience (first-time vs. experienced surrogate) and the specifics of the match. On top of the base compensation you can expect the following: Structured Additional Benefits: • Milestone bonuses: – Upon passing medical clearance: $1,000 – Embryo transfer: $1,500 – Maternity clothing: $1,000 • Life insurance policies starting at: $250,000 Additional potential fees: • Multiples ($10,000) • Medically necessary C-section ($5,000) • Loss of each ovary or fallopian tube ($5,000) • Complete hysterectomy ($10,000) *Please contact us today to learn more about the full benefits package.

No. We work with surrogates across the U.S. Often surrogates are required to travel to intended parents' fertility centers for medical clearance and embryo transfer. All other medical appointments leading up to embryo transfer and immediately after transfer are performed at a fertility center local to you. Your personal OB will handle your pregnancy and delivery.

Yes, a prior C-section doesn't automatically disqualify you, provided you have a healthy obstetric history and meet other surrogate qualifications. A surrogate may have had up to two prior C-sections and still qualify.

Yes. A prior tubal ligation will not disqualify you, provided you have a healthy obstetric history and meet other surrogate qualifications.

At Newborn Advantage, our goal is to create the perfect match — one built on shared values, expectations, and personalities. We take time to get to know both our surrogates and intended parents through thoughtful conversations and in-depth questions, ensuring that each match feels natural and mutually aligned. Once we've identified a potential match, we'll arrange a video meeting so you and the intended parents can connect and get to know each other. A match is confirmed only when both parties feel comfortable and confident moving forward — because the best journeys begin with true connection and trust.
