Compensation varies based on your experience and location. Alma provides a full, transparent breakdown before you commit to anything - including base pay, allowances, and all covered expenses. There are no hidden fees and you will never pay out of pocket for any part of the journey.

From application to birth, most surrogate journeys take 12 to 18 months. The matching process typically takes 1 to 3 months, followed by medical screening, legal contracts, the embryo transfer, and the pregnancy itself.

Yes - always. Alma matches based on shared values and preferences, and you'll meet the intended parents on a video call before any commitment is made. You never move forward unless you feel completely comfortable.

All surrogacy-related expenses are covered by the intended parents — medical appointments, medications, travel, maternity clothing, legal fees, and more. You pay nothing out of pocket.

Yes. You must have had at least one successful full-term pregnancy and be currently raising your own child. This ensures you understand what pregnancy involves before carrying for someone else.

You'll have one dedicated Alma coordinator throughout the entire journey - someone who knows your name, your story, and is always reachable. We coordinate all appointments, handle communication with the intended parents, and check in with you regularly from transfer through birth and beyond.
