Hi everyone. Ashley Old, Case Manager with Bright Futures Families, here with your Ask a Surrogate expert question. This week's question As a surrogate, how am I paid and how often? Great question. As a surrogate, once pregnancy is confirmed, you're typically paid in monthly installments. You will also receive additional payments for specific milestones and expenses along the way. Thanks for the great question.

What does “Base Fee” or “Base Compensation” really mean in a surrogacy arrangement? 

Variations in surrogacy agreements

We know that compensation is not the number one driver of your decision to become a surrogate, but that doesn’t mean you should be left in the dark as to how compensation works.
