Finding a Surrogate in Oregon

A gestational carrier (i.e., surrogate) is a person who agrees to carry a pregnancy for an individual or couple (i.e., intended parents). Fertility Source Companies has assisted over 4,500 U.S. and international intended parents (IPs) to find a well-qualified surrogate and welcome a new baby into their families. Our exclusive matching program helps IPs and prospective surrogates locate each other. We take special care to ensure a successful match.

Surrogacy Laws in Oregon

Although Oregon doesn’t have any specific laws regulating surrogacy, the courts typically treat surrogacy arrangements and legal proceedings favorably. Surrogacy contracts are considered valid and enforceable when they are created by attorneys with experience in reproductive law who establish the rights, responsibilities, compensation, contact expectations, and birth plans between IPs and gestational surrogates.

Surrogate Costs & Fees in Oregon

Typically, the total cost of surrogacy in Oregon ranges from $100,000 to $125,000. This includes an initial agency fee of $28,000 and a base surrogacy fee of $50,000; the surrogacy agency fee is paid in installments. In addition to the base fee, the surrogate is reimbursed for living expenses. There is also a monthly allowance of $350, an embryo transfer fee, a maternity clothing fee, and other miscellaneous expenses reimbursed by the IPs.

How Surrogates Are Screened in Oregon

Surrogate candidates in Oregon undergo screening by experienced professionals to ensure they are well-qualified to complete each step in the surrogacy journey.

The Surrogacy Process
