Supporting Surrogates with the SPS Wellness Package
Here at Surrogate Parenting Services, the health, comfort, and happiness of our surrogates is of the utmost importance to us. From the moment you begin your SPS journey, we’ll be by your side every step of the process. (Learn how to become an SPS surrogate here.)
One of the most important ways we support our candidates is through a great compensation package, which is one of the most competitive packages in California.
Earlier this year, we expanded our benefits package. As of July 1, 2023, our base compensation is $65,000 for first-time alternates, and $75,000 for alternates who have had at least one or more trips.
Our new package also includes a customized health and wellness program with a physical therapist. Learn more about the SPS Wellness Package below!
