Answering Surrogate’s Frequently Asked Surrogacy Questions 

Before you do anything, whether it’s starting a new job, making a large purchase, or moving to a different state, it’s important to have all the important information. One of the best ways to do this is by asking questions and then finding answers. Maybe you have questions about the technical side of surrogacy.

So feel free to reach out if you have a more specific question about surrogacy in Oklahoma.

• Is Surrogacy Legal in Oklahoma?

As we mentioned above, surrogacy is completely legal in Oklahoma. However, we don’t do every kind of surrogacy at Adoption & Surrogacy Choices of Oklahoma. We specialize in gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate isn’t related to the baby she’s carrying. And we don’t offer traditional surrogacy services, where a surrogate’s eggs are used, giving her a biological link to the child.

There are several reasons for this:

• • Traditional surrogacy isn’t supported by the government in many states
  • There are more legal and emotional complications with traditional surrogacy
  • Gestational surrogacy creates clearer roles for everyone involved

So, if you’re interested in gestational surrogacy, we can help get you started.

• Will I Be Compensated for Surrogacy in Oklahoma?

At Adoption & Surrogacy Choices of Oklahoma, we do offer compensation for surrogacy in Oklahoma. However, we can’t give a firm number because the amount changes depending on the circumstances of each individual. But our range is usually between $50,000 and $80,000. We know that surrogacy is quite an involved process, and we want to make sure you can cover the costs of the time and resources necessary. However, it’s important to remember that surrogacy isn’t something you can make a career out of.
