As a surrogate with Love & Kindness, you’re also able to enjoy maternity wellness services, like doula support, nutritionists, prenatal massages, chiropractors, and more. Additionally, you can also use psychological support in the form of a counselor or other approved professional as needed.
Doulas are trained professionals who provide physical, emotional, and informational support to expectant parents and surrogates. They’ll help you have a safe, positive, and healthy birth.
Nutritionists can make sure that you’re making the best nutritional choices for both yourself and the child you’re carrying during your pregnancy. They’ll provide excellent insights into what foods are best and which are best avoided during your specific pregnancy.
Surrogacy is a wonderful process, but any pregnancy comes with associated stress. Mental health professionals can help you put to rest any anxieties or concerns that may arise during your surrogacy process.
If you’ve been researching surrogacy agencies, you’ll notice that our benefit package is pretty competitive – and that’s because we’re a team made up of surrogates, egg donors, and industry professionals who understand the kinds of support a surrogate needs during her journey.
We work only with the best surrogates available, and our industry-leading benefits package is designed to support them through the best surrogacy journeys ever. Have more questions, or want to see a breakdown of everything Love & Kindness has to offer you? Contact us, and we’ll send you a full sample benefits package.
If you have health insurance, we’ll review it to see if it’s surrogacy-friendly. If it is, your intended parents won’t need to pay for extra insurance, which can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000. If you don’t have compatible health insurance, to offset this cost, your base payment may be reduced by $5,000.
