5 Reasons To Become A Surrogate Right Now! Like Today!
If you are reading this, there is a good chance you have been thinking about becoming a surrogate for a while. Most women that become surrogates think about it and do research for months, sometimes years before they move forward in the surrogacy process. It is important to be ready and prepared before embarking upon becoming a surrogate. If you fall into the category of thinking about it but are still trying to make your final decision, here are 5 really good reasons to get started today!
- There is a need! The demand for surrogates is higher than ever. There are many people who had to put their surrogacy family building plans on hold because of COVID. And then there are those who are just now learning surrogacy may be the only option they have to grow their family. Once they start doing research and learn how long it takes to match with a surrogate, they become discouraged. Many potential intended parents are having to delay their plans to utilize surrogacy to grow their family because the wait times can be up to one year to match with a surrogate!
- Covid burnout! We all have put so much of our lives on hold because of COVID. Enough already! If you have delayed becoming a surrogate due to COVID, it is time to wait no more. It is time to start living again, and that includes realizing your dreams of becoming a surrogate. If surrogacy is on your dream list, now is the time to make it happen!
- You can make great money for your family while helping another family! Compensation packages have increased due to the increased demand for surrogates. It is the way of the world right now. For those waiting and wanting to find their surrogate to help them have a baby, they are willing to pay the necessary (and well deserved) compensation. Surrogacy compensation gives you a great opportunity to grow your savings or pay off debt!
- You love being pregnant! If you want to become a surrogate, then you probably love being pregnant. But you are done building your own family. You aren’t getting any younger….so get started with your surrogacy process today so you can experience the amazing state of being pregnant again.
- There is a need! I know that was already stated. But it cannot be stated enough! Intended parents are waiting! You can be matched with intended parents right away and move forward in the surrogacy process as soon as you complete the screening process to become a surrogate.

The Surrogacy Pregnancy Half-Way Point
Featuring: Surrogate Annie McCabe
Surrogate Annie McCabe is not a newcomer to the surrogacy process or the milestone 20-week appointment. Annie is now more than halfway through her second surrogacy pregnancy, and she has had two prior pregnancies for her own two children. But the anticipation and excitement of the 20-week sonogram appointment is as exciting as it ever was!
Annie shared her thoughts and feelings about her recent 20-week check-up appointment by answering a few questions about the experience.
1. Did the parents join you for the appointment?
Yes! The parents attended the appointment with me! I loved having them there and sharing the moment. I feel like the 20-week appointment is a big one and it’s the first chance to really see the baby. Makes it all very real for everyone!
2, Did you find out the gender of the baby?
We did not. The intended parents have decided to wait!! Which I love!! I found out with both my keepers, and they found out with their first, so we are all excited about finding out at delivery.
3. What was the best part of the appointment for you?
Just seeing the baby!! I loved seeing the little legs and arms move. We had trouble getting a good profile shot but the parents ended up with great pictures of the baby’s face. It’s so amazing how much change has happened between that first ultrasound and the 20-week scan.
4. What was the biggest difference between your pregnancies for your own children and your surrogacy pregnancy?
You know I was just as excited about this appointment as a surrogate as I was with my other pregnancies. There is just something about seeing life growing that is so surreal. And as surrogate, to be a part of that experience with and for another family is indescribable!
5. What did you do immediately after the appointment?
We looked at the sonogram pictures and were amazed at how great and detailed they were! The parents got some great pictures! We then said our goodbyes and headed off to work.

5 Things I Love About Being A Surrogate: Featuring Betty Vaughn
Becoming a surrogate for the first time is the beginning of an amazing life experience full of surprises, personal growth, and awe! First time surrogate Betty Vaughn is currently 34 weeks pregnant and shared that she feels it is a blessing to have the ability and opportunity to help someone who has faced struggles and challenges to have a baby and grow their family.
Here are 5 things Betty loves about being a surrogate (in no particular order)!
- Helping others by giving a family the blessing of a child. Becoming a surrogate to help someone who has had so many struggles and challenges to have a baby is a blessing for Betty as well as the family she is helping.
- Working with a family that lives in a different state. Betty loves to travel and see different ways of life than her midwestern roots. Surrogacy has given Betty the opportunity to see two new places she has never been before and may not have had the opportunity to see if not for her surrogacy process and pregnancy.
- Being pregnant! Surrogacy gave Betty the opportunity to be pregnant again and is one of the major reasons why she wanted to become a surrogate. Her two pregnancies went well, and she wishes everyone was blessed with the same. Knowing that is not the case motivated her to pursue surrogacy. She especially loves feeling the tossing, turning, kicking and little hiccups again!
- The relationship with the parents. Betty especially appreciates the kindness they have shown to her and the great communication they have had throughout the surrogacy process and pregnancy.
- Relationships with the amazing healthcare staff. The doctors and nurses at Shady Grove Fertility in New York are very caring and compassionate individuals that helped Betty through the medical process and have supported her more than she expected, or knew she needed. They have stayed in contact with Betty throughout the pregnancy which shows her that she is important to them. She is grateful and feels very blessed!
