By working with a professional surrogacy agency in Park Ridge, Illinois, you can be sure you are being compensated fairly for your generosity and the risk involved in carrying a baby.

Surrogacy agencies all have different compensation models. At Hope Surrogacy, we allow our surrogates to set their own rates. The base compensation rate that we recommend surrogates request is between $35,000 and $40,000.
