Before anything else, know this: requirements exist to protect you. Every criterion below exists because it predicts a safe pregnancy and a healthy delivery — for you first, and for the baby you carry. These standards reflect guidance from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the screening protocols of the IVF clinics we work with.
Review the checklist, and if you’re unsure about any item, don’t self-reject — call 1-212-661-7177 . Our intake team resolves most “am I eligible?” questions in one conversation.
Once you pre-qualify, screening confirms — at no cost to you — that surrogacy is safe for your body and right for your life:
Screening is not an interrogation; it’s the program doing its job. Every cost is covered by the intended parents. Read what happens next on our process timeline.
If your question isn’t here, our Surrogate FAQ goes deeper — or just call.
Meeting these requirements is the doorway to a package of $50,000–$65,000 base compensation — higher compensation is negotiable based on experience and geographic location — plus a full benefits schedule. See the complete compensation breakdown.
If pregnancy isn’t right for you but you still want to help build families, our egg donor program has a shorter commitment and different requirements — compare the two paths here.
One phone call answers most questions. Call 1-212-661-7177, email in**@***********ll.com, or start your application now.
Egg donation is a process where a woman (the egg donor) provides one or several eggs (also known as oocytes) for purposes of assisted reproduction, with the eggs being fertilized in the laboratory. Once fertilized, the resulting embryos are transferred to the recipient’s uterus to initiate a pregnancy, or they can be cryopreserved (frozen) for future use.
