Finding a Surrogate in Massachusetts

A gestational carrier, also known as a surrogate, is someone who agrees to carry a pregnancy for an individual or couple, the intended parents (IPs). In our history, Fertility Source Companies has worked with more than 4,500 U.S. and international IPs to locate amazing surrogates and grow their families.

Surrogacy Laws in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is a surrogacy-friendly state, with no specific laws or regulations in place. As such, the courts generally have a favorable attitude toward surrogacy arrangements and legal proceedings. As long as surrogacy contracts are created by attorneys with reproductive law experience, they’re considered valid and enforceable. These attorneys establish the rights, responsibilities, compensation, contact expectations, and birth plans between IPs and gestational surrogates.

Massachusetts Surrogate Costs & Fees

In Massachusetts, the total cost of surrogacy generally ranges from $100,000 to $125,000. This amount includes an initial agency fee of $28,000, paid in installments, and a base surrogacy fee of $50,000. Beyond these payments, the surrogate is reimbursed for living expenses by the IPs. These include a monthly allowance of $350, an embryo transfer fee, a maternity clothing fee, and other miscellaneous expenses. You can find out more details about the breakdown of surrogacy costs and fees.

How Surrogates Are Screened in Massachusetts

At Fertility Source Companies, Massachusetts surrogate candidates must undergo stringent screenings, ensuring prospective surrogates are qualified to complete each of the journey’s steps. To evaluate physical and mental health, multiple screenings are involved. Among these are medical tests, including a sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening, drug and Hepatitis tests, and a pelvic exam. A background check and psychological evaluation, as performed by mental health professionals, are also conducted. Our staff registered nurse (RN) also reviews past pregnancies to determine no complications were present.

The Surrogacy Process

To be eligible as a Fertility Source Companies surrogacy candidate, you must first submit an application. You’ll also have to provide medical records, and undergo background checks, and mental and physical health screenings, to be accepted into our database. Once registered, you will then be matched with the IPs, via a virtual meeting. After you’ve matched with the IPs, the surrogacy process requires several additional steps to be completed. Among these are:

  • Undergoing an extensive physical examination by the IP’s selected fertility specialist
  • Signing a surrogacy agreement with an attorney
  • Self-injecting yourself with a series of hormonal medications to prepare for pregnancy
  • Undergoing the embryo transfer procedure
  •  Submitting to multiple ultrasounds and blood tests to confirm pregnancy
  • Meeting with your local obstetrician (OB), a physician who treats women and their babies during pregnancy and childbirth, for regular pregnancy visits and delivery

We understand that initially, the surrogacy process may seem overwhelming. Rest assured that  the Fertility Source Companies team will help you throughout your journey. Many of our staff members have themselves been surrogates, and being familiar with the process, they’ll provide next-level, relevant support. Explore the surrogacy process.

Surrogacy Pay & Compensation in Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, surrogates can expect to make about $50,000 for their base pay. This amount accounts for their incurred expenses and compensates them for their time and effort. Please be aware that compensation begins once the fetal heart rate is identified and is disbursed over time in installments. Base pay aside, you’ll also be compensated for any other out-of-pocket expenses, such as medical needs, maternity clothes, or travel. Find out more about surrogate compensation and pay.
