Become a Surrogate

We are Local.

As the only surrogacy agency located in Oklahoma, we are accessible to you at any time.  

Having an issue that you need help with?  With other agencies, you may have to try to find a resolution over the phone or through email.  Here at Magnolia, you can walk into our office or make an appointment to meet with us, in person, at any time.

We provide ongoing support.

From application to post-birth, Magnolia is here for you.  We host monthly support groups that allow you to meet local surrogates and connect with women who are going through the same process as you.  

At your request, we are available to attend doctors appointments and ultrasounds.  When you’re ready to deliver, we will be there with you!

Magnolia also offers after-hours support.

How much do surrogates earn?

Our base compensation starts at $40,000 for a first time surrogate, with additional compensation for maternity clothes, housekeeping, childcare and more. Experienced surrogates may set their own base compensation.

How long does surrogacy take?

Surrogates are usually only pregnant for nine months but the whole process from application to birth can take anywhere from twelve months or more. There is the screening stage, legal phase, preparations for embryo transfer, the embryo transfer, confirmation of pregnancy, the pregnancy and finally birth. As your agency, we are here to provide you support and guidance through this process.

What if I don’t have medical insurance that covers surrogacy?

No problem! Intended parents will purchase a plan for their surrogate to use during the surrogate pregnancy. The intended parents will take care of all costs related to this plan.

Can I select my own OB?

At about the end of the first trimester, you will be released from the care of the reproductive endocrinologist (RE), at that time, you can absolutely see the obstetrician of your choosing. We encourage you to select a healthcare provider who you are comfortable with and understands your needs.

Will the baby have any genetic link to me?

No, as a gestational surrogate, the baby is not related to you at all! Isn’t science amazing? To achieve pregnancy, you will undergo in-vitro fertilization. An embryo created by your intended parent(s) will be transferred to your body. Our hope is that it will grow into a beautiful, healthy baby!

Can I be a surrogate if I’ve had my tubes are tied?

Yes, you can! Surrogates become pregnant through IVF, and you do not need ovaries or tubes to become a surrogate.

What happens after birth? Will I need to care for the baby I carried?

All our intended parents hope and plan to be at the hospital following birth to meet and care for their newborn. We recommend that our intended parents be near the surrogate after 36 weeks gestation. However, if the intended parents miss the birth due to travel or another issue, an agency representative will be available to be with the surrogate and the newborn. Surrogates do not have to care for the baby. We prefer that our surrogates rest and take time to reflect on this wonderful thing they did for another family.
