compensation for surrogates

Compensation for surrogates refers to the payment they receive for carrying a pregnancy for intended parents. It covers various expenses including medical costs, lost wages, and other pregnancy-related expenses. This compensation is intended to fairly acknowledge the surrogate’s time, effort, and the physical and emotional toll of pregnancy. It varies depending on factors like location, experience, and agency guidelines. Importantly, in many jurisdictions, surrogates are reimbursed for expenses rather than paid a fee solely for pregnancy, ensuring the process is conducted ethically and transparently.
