Roots Surrogacy

The number is the bait, not the offer.�
The most common way someone gets pulled into the wrong agency is a very large compensation figure, presented with no breakdown behind it.�
Some of it is usually true. The part that is not true is the implication that the number is what lands in your account. What it is really doing is getting you through the door before you have learned which questions to ask.�
Nobody should be embarrassed about not knowing what to ask. You have not done this before. That is exactly what is being counted on.�
Ask what the number actually includes.

Everything settled before anything starts.�

A fixed payment schedule belongs in writing before the transfer, not worked out as you go. �This is the single clearest difference between an agency that has done this properly and one that is improvising. Every milestone, every reimbursement, every timeline, agreed while everyone is calm. �If a conversation about money keeps getting postponed until after the next step, that is your answer.�

Ask to see the schedule before you sign.

The version of this I do not enjoy telling.

Before I opened Roots I carried for a single dad, and I went through an agency to do it. I did no research at all. I heard about them from a family friend, I called, they asked if I qualified, I said yes, and that was the whole process.

Nothing went horrifically wrong. It was small things and then bigger things, and the shape of it was that I felt like a number. He did too. We ended up managing most of it between ourselves, which is not what either of us signed up for.

I still know him. I still know his daughters.

Roots exists because I wanted the agency I would have picked if I had known what to ask.

Six questions, about one minute.

These are the questions that come up in almost every first conversation I have, and most of them get answered vaguely everywhere else.

Compensation, attachment, privacy, how many appointments, the medications, how long the whole thing actually takes, and whether it was worth it.

None of the answers are complicated. They are just rarely said plainly, and that is most of why surrogacy feels harder to understand from the outside than it actually is.

Which one surprised you most? Tell me below.

You will know within about 10 seconds.�

Healthy pregnancies and smooth deliveries. You loved being pregnant. Your own family is complete and you are not planning more children of your own. You would like to help your family financially. And you want to help another family have a baby.�

That is genuinely the shape of it. If you read that and something in you said yes, that is worth paying attention to.

If it is not you, no hard feelings at all. People arrive at this at different points in their lives and some of them arrive years later.�

Save this and send it to someone.

The answer should not simply be “the agency has it.”

Ask whether your funds are held in a separate escrow account, who controls that account, when funds can be released, and what protections are in place if something goes wrong.

Before you move forward with a surrogacy journey, make sure you understand exactly where your money is and who has access to it.

The right questions can protect you from surprises later.

Lots of noise, very few good ones.

There are close to 500 surrogacy agencies operating in the United States right now. After 11 years and a few hundred journeys, I can count the ones I would genuinely recommend on one hand.

That is not a swipe at anybody. It is the reason the questions you ask matter so much more here than in most fields, because the gap between the best and the average is enormous and almost none of it is visible from a website.

What is it like caring for a high-profile client?

Honestly, it’s not that different from caring for a regular client. They have the same concerns, the same needs, and the same expectations. The main difference is that there’s a little more privacy and discretion involved.

At the end of the day, they’re still people who need the same level of care and attention.

Surrogate compensation isn’t always as simple as looking at the base pay.

What matters is understanding the full value of the support and compensation available to you throughout the journey.

Before comparing numbers, make sure you’re looking at the bigger picture, not just the headline amount.

Because sometimes, the number you see first isn’t the number that matters most.
