Benefits of Choosing Surrogacy in Oklahoma

Pregnancy is a difficult process that isn’t necessarily enjoyable to endure for many women. In the surrogacy process, women carry a baby for another couple who is unable to have children of their own. You may be wondering why a woman would want to pursue surrogacy, especially since they won’t take home the child they give birth to at the end. Here at Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Oklahoma, we believe that although choosing surrogacy has some challenges, there are many benefits to becoming a surrogate mother

Choosing Surrogacy, Helping a Family Have a Child

One of the main benefits of being a surrogate mother is the unique way you are able to help a couple start a family. Many of the couples that approach Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Oklahoma are unable to have children of their own, and some couples have gone through infertility trauma. It’s important that our surrogacy agency provides these couples with top-quality care from our surrogate mothers. Some of these surrogate mothers choose to pursue OK surrogacy because they know a couple personally that wants to have a child through surrogacy. Being a surrogate mother is an amazing way to provide for friends or family who are in need. However, many surrogate mothers don’t even know the child’s intended parents before they are matched with them. If you love to serve others and want to participate in a unique form of service, surrogacy might be for you. 

Compensation for Surrogate Mothers

Although being a surrogate mother is great because you are able to provide for a family, there is also the added benefit of being compensated for your service. When you are matched with the child’s intended parents, you will give birth to. You will create a surrogacy plan with them that will determine how much they will compensate you for your work. Surrogate mothers typically receive around $50,000-$80,000 for their work, including travel expenses, personal care, hospital bills, etc. The amount each surrogate mother makes depends on their specific experience. 

However, some surrogate mother choose to go through the surrogacy process for no compensation. This type of surrogacy is known as altruistic surrogacy. If you are close to the intended parents on a personal level, you may choose to pursue altruistic surrogacy. Most surrogate mothers choose to pursue commercial surrogacy, however and receive compensation. 

Can Any Woman Become a Surrogate Mother?

It is important that you are aware that only certain women are eligible to be surrogate mothers. Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Oklahoma follows a set of requirements that ensure that only physically and mentally healthy women become surrogate mothers to protect the baby, themselves, and the intended parents from harm. Some of these requirements include:

  • Being between the ages of 21-39
  • Being free from mental health issues
  • Having a body mass index between 18-31
  • Being healthy and free from sexually transmitted disease
  • Having experience with one healthy pregnancy in the past
  • Currently parenting a child
  • Having no past experience with postpartum depression

For a full list of requirements, check out our page on becoming a surrogate mother. Women who fulfill the initial list of qualifications will undergo a mental and physical health screening to guarantee that they are physically ready to undergo the surrogacy process. After a woman is cleared to be a surrogate mother, they will be matched with a set of intended parents, and the surrogacy process will commence.
