Why Surrogacy?

S
tarting a family can be an amazing time in life. However, while there are many who very much long to have children, for one reason or another, they are unable to conceive. Many people take for granted the ability to have children and create their family – yet infertility affects 1 in 6 adults each year. According to the statistics, about 15% of couples are trying to get pregnant, but they have problems with one of the steps, such as ovulation, fertilization, implantation, gestation, carrying a baby, etc. Thanks to modern technologies, it is now possible to use a donated sperm, egg, even uterus, if necessary. There is a solution, in the process of surrogacy. Women possess the unique ability to give the most remarkable gift of all – the gift of life. For many women, pregnancy is an enjoyable time in their lives. The thrill of developing a life within is an experience unparalleled by any other. For women who enjoy pregnancy and love to help others, surrogacy may be their calling.
Abundant Life Surrogacy is a small, intimate surrogacy agency by design. We work closely with our surrogate mothers and intended parents, keeping the interactions personal, making ourselves available and minimizing opportunity for stress. We offer unparalleled support and care, from finding a surrogate mother, to working with reproductive specialists and managing the financial process – all the way to the birth of your baby!
Benefits of Being a Surrogate: • Receive a base fee of $23,000 - $33,000 plus additional compensation for carrying twins, and other incidentals. • Gain an incredible sense of self-fulfillment from giving the greatest gift humanly possible to another family.
• Build a life-long relationship with grateful intended parents • Become part of the amazing Surrogate-Sisterhood • Work with a personal Case Manager • We arrange legal representation to guide you through the legal process.
