BECOME A SURROGATE IN CALIFORNIA AND EARN UP TO $108,000+
The top reason women become surrogates is to help others grow a family. By becoming a surrogate, you can help people become parents who otherwise cannot do so on their own. Growing Generations has long-standing clinic relationships for nearly 30 years in California to ensure you have a smooth and trusted experience locally as you navigate your surrogacy journey. Plus, our surrogates are among the highest-paid surrogates in the industry, so you’ll be well compensated for your generosity.
WHAT IS A SURROGATE
A surrogate is someone who agrees to carry a pregnancy for another person or couple, giving birth to a baby who has no genetic connection and will be raised by the intended parent(s). Taking on such a vital role means merging your best interests with those of the family you are going on this journey for.
Surrogates help people become parents despite medical or personal circumstances that have complicated their journey, such as infertility or health conditions that make carrying a pregnancy dangerous, and same-sex male couples who wish to have a biological child.
