Surrogate Frequently Asked Questions

At AIA Beginnings, we believe your selfless gift deserves industry-leading recognition. Surrogates typically receive a comprehensive package starting at $50,000, with premier tiers for experienced surrogates reaching up to $120,000. We ensure a worry-free experience with zero out-of-pocket costs for you. Your compensation is distributed through a secure, transparent, and prompt milestone-based system throughout your pregnancy.

No. At AIA Beginnings, we specialize exclusively in Gestational Surrogacy. This means the child you carry is not biologically related to you in any way. The embryos are created using the intended parents’ own genetic material or donor cells. Your role is to provide the nurturing environment needed for that life to grow.

Pregnancy is achieved through a precise medical procedure known as an embryo transfer. The embryos are developed in a controlled laboratory environment and then gently placed into the uterus by a fertility specialist. It is a strictly clinical process designed for the highest success rates and safety.

Your well-being is our primary focus. Statistically, a gestational pregnancy carries the same profile of care and risk as your own previous healthy pregnancies. By adhering to AIA’s rigorous wellness standards and partnering with elite medical clinics, we ensure you receive the highest level of monitoring and support throughout the process.

The transfer is a quick, non-surgical procedure that most women find very manageable. The sensation is often compared to a routine pap smear. Using a thin, specialized catheter, the fertility specialist carefully positions the embryo in the uterus. The entire process typically takes about 15 minutes, and we encourage a day of relaxation afterward.

To ensure the most successful outcome, we use temporary hormonal support to sync your body’s cycle with the embryo transfer. These medications create the optimal environment for the embryo to thrive. Once the pregnancy is firmly established—usually between weeks 8 and 10—your body naturally takes over, and the medications are no longer needed.

To protect the success of the transfer and the health of the pregnancy, there is a brief period of required abstinence starting from the beginning of your medication cycle until your first confirmed ultrasound. Following this, you may resume normal activity with the partner who was cleared during your medical screening. Maintaining a monogamous and healthy environment is essential for the safety of the child and the integrity of your journey.

Surrogacy is a journey of the heart. Most of our surrogates describe the moment of birth not as “giving up” a child, but as “giving back” a miracle to its rightful family. Over the course of the year, you will build a profound bond with the intended parents. Seeing their dream realized through your generosity is an overwhelmingly positive experience—so much so that 90% of our partners choose to embark on a second journey with AIA Beginnings.
