A woman who serves as a surrogate more than once, of course, understands the experience of surrogacy very well, but even more importantly, has gained a deeper understanding of herself. She has discovered, in a profound and meaningful way, the power of giving, and she wants to use this gift to help more families.
Watch these video testimonials from two of Northeast Assisted Fertility Group’s repeat surrogates, Kim and Ana, about to embark on their third surrogacy journeys with us. They describe the sincere gratification in creating that moment when intended parents hold their babies for the first time.
What Is Different About a Second Surrogacy Journey?
The basic components of the surrogacy experience – the screening, embryo transfer, pregnancy, and delivery – are the same. Unless the surrogate is providing a sibling for her previous intended parents, the clinicians and personal dynamics with the intended parents will be different. Repeat surrogates enjoy expanding their personal relationships through helping others. The Northeast Assisted Fertility Group offers consistent and hands-on support throughout the surrogacy process.
Repeat Surrogates Appreciate the Higher Compensation
At the Northeast Assisted Fertility Group, the base compensation for repeat surrogates starts at $90,000, which is beyond what is offered for first-time candidates. The base amount does not include coverage for other expenses such as lost wages, childcare, housekeeping, maternity clothes, and other items.
Is Becoming a Repeat Surrogate Right for You?
If you would love to be a surrogate again, we want to hear from you! As long as you did not have any complications with your prenatal care and delivery, and you have maintained your own good health, the Northeast Assisted Fertility Group welcomes you to apply for surrogacy. The required waiting time to embryo transfer after your last delivery ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on clinical policy, but we can start the surrogate application process any time.

Surrogates typically choose different surrogacy agencies after less-than-ideal experiences, and we appreciate the opportunity to make it much better for them.
