Become a surrogate
with NewGen Families

As a first step, we invite you to click here to complete our online quiz to see if you are eligible to become a NewGen Families surrogate.

This is a short quiz to help you understand whether surrogacy could be a good fit for you. There’s no commitment at this stage, just a way to explore the basics and learn more at your own pace.

Anna is our AI-led intake experience, designed to help you explore surrogacy privately before speaking with anyone. She guides you through key questions around eligibility, compensation, and what the journey can involve, in a calm, low-pressure way.

This step is simply about learning and gaining clarity, with no commitment and at a pace that suits you.

A relaxed video call with a member of our surrogate team. This is a chance to get to know each other, ask questions, and hear first-hand insights from someone who has completed their own surrogacy journey.

It’s a supportive conversation, designed to help you feel informed and comfortable as you consider next steps.

If you choose to move forward, we’ll guide you through the required paperwork and a small number of at-home tasks. These help us prepare for the next stages and ensure everything is aligned before clinical review.

We’ll support you in gathering the relevant medical records needed for the process. Our team will walk you through what’s required and be available for any questions along the way.

Your compensation is personalised and discussed with you as part of the intake process. Our team will work with you to outline a compensation and benefits package that reflects your experience and the journey ahead.

This typically includes:

• Base compensation starting from $60,000 for first-time surrogates, increasing with prior surrogacy experience and paid in stages throughout the pregnancy
• Bonuses totalling over $12,000 for a completed journey
• Travel expenses, reimbursed when travel is required
• Additional compensation for embryo transfers and any invasive procedures, if needed
• A pamper package, offering an allowance for wellness and self-care during the third trimester

We’ll walk you through everything clearly and answer any questions, so you feel informed and supported every step of the way.
