Fertility Alternatives Surrogacy Program

 

Fertility Alternatives has been serving Gestational Carriers

(a.k.a. surrogates or surrogate mothers) and Intended Parents for 25 years. Fertility Alternatives is one of the oldest and most experienced agencies available today. 

 

As the owner of this boutique, full service, agency, and a two time, Gestational Carrier, I have first hand experience with the surrogacy process and provide one-on-one support to the Carriers in my program. 

 

You will receive close personal assistance throughout the process to include contract negotiations, timely compensation and medical expense payments, and travel arrangements.

 

You will not have to worry about different case-managers overseeing your journey, unreturned calls/texts, or pressure to work with Intended Parents that are not a good fit.

​

You will have individual legal representation by some of the best attorneys in the industry, at no cost to you.

​

A highly competitive and flexible gratitude compensation package is provided (valued between approximately $55,000-$75,000)

depending on a number of variables, and may include a 'thank-you" gift in the form of a mini-vacation after you deliver, for a relaxing break with a companion of your choice. You may even qualify for a sign-on bonus, after your first embryo transfer procedure.

 

Candidates who meet the ideal criteria for surrogacy are being offered a special bonus within her contract. 

​

Becoming a Gestational Surrogate is a unique way to supplement your family income, while helping others at the same time. This option is great for stay at home moms, employed single moms, and moms in most lines of work.

​

We accept first-time surrogacy candidates and applicants in most states and encourage you to apply. 

​

As a "Gestational Carrier", you are not genetically related to the baby you carry. Instead the embryos are already created by the intended parents you are helping. You are in essence, providing babysitting services for nine months.

​

To apply as a Gestational Carrier, there are various medical, ethical, and industry standard requirements you must fulfill in order to qualify. These requirements are typical of all legitimate surrogacy programs.
