These financial incentives ensure that surrogates can focus on their well-being and the pregnancy.
Extra Perks: It’s All About Feeling Valued
Delivering Hope knows that being a surrogate is much more than financial compensation. It’s about making a difference in someone’s life while feeling valued and celebrated for this incredible act of kindness. This is why we offer some thoughtful perks to make the journey even more enjoyable through benefit packages that are offered:
- Bump Boxes Throughout Pregnancy: To celebrate milestones during the pregnancy.

These thoughtful gestures are intended to continue supporting surrogates throughout their journey as individuals providing service and as partners in creating life and spreading joy. We aim to make the experience as fulfilling and comfortable as possible.
The Delivering Hope Surrogate Referral Program: Share the Love
One of the unique opportunities available for Delivering Hope surrogates is the ability to participate in our Surrogate Referral Program. We believe surrogates are the best advocates for the incredible journey of helping to bring new life into the world. Through our referral program, surrogates can help others begin their surrogacy journey and be rewarded for it.
Make a Difference and Earn Rewards
If you’re an experienced surrogate, you know firsthand how life-changing this experience can be. You have seen the joy that surrogacy brings to intended parents, and you understand the dedication and compassion it takes to make their dreams a reality. You can make an even more significant impact by sharing your story and encouraging others to join. Here’s how our referral program works:
- Earn $2,500 Per Successful Referral: When you refer a friend, family member, or acquaintance to Delivering Hope and they sign their contract, you will receive $2,500 as a thank-you for your advocacy.
- Spread the Love and Make a Difference: Helping intended parents achieve their dream of starting a family is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give. By referring others, you have the power to change multiple lives, and we want to reward you for this selfless act.
At Delivering Hope, sharing real, authentic stories is the best way to encourage others to join the surrogacy journey. When surrogates talk about their experiences—the joy, the challenges, the moments that took their breath away—it inspires others to be a part of something extraordinary.
Referral Stories: Impacting Lives One Story at a Time
“Women I come across every day are fascinated by surrogacy, so when I share my story, they want to know more and become interested in pursuing it themselves, especially when they find out how many people struggle to have their children. It’s hard to know how great the need is and not want to help.”

Finding the Perfect Match: The Delivering Hope Process
The surrogacy journey is deeply personal, both for surrogates and intended parents. It’s about making dreams come true while building relationships based on trust, understanding, and shared values. At Delivering Hope, we take pride in our thorough matching process, ensuring that surrogates and intended parents are compatible in communication, expectations, and overall outlook.
Comprehensive Surrogate Screening Process
The first step in finding the perfect match begins with our thorough screening process. At Delivering Hope, we know that being a surrogate comes with significant responsibilities, so only 1-2% of applicants make it through our screening process. This process includes:
- Thorough Application Review: Ensuring applicants meet all initial qualifications.
- Medical History & Background Check: Screening surrogates and individuals living in their homes.
- Home Visit and Spouse Interview: A home visit and interview with the surrogate’s spouse are essential to ensure a supportive environment.
- OBGYN Visit & Doctor Sign Off: Ensuring medical fitness for the surrogacy journey.
These rigorous checks ensure that the surrogates we work with are healthy, capable, and ready to undertake this journey. They also ensure that everyone involved is comfortable, cared for, and aligned with the goal of creating new life.
Matching Intended Parents with Surrogates: Values, Communication, and Perspective
Finding the perfect match between surrogates and intended parents is the cornerstone of the Delivering Hope philosophy. We take great care in matching intended parents and surrogates, and we consider numerous factors during the process:
- Communication Styles: Ensuring both sides are comfortable interacting and maintaining communication throughout the pregnancy.
- Values and Beliefs: Matching surrogates and intended parents who share similar values, especially on sensitive issues such as pregnancy preferences and medical decisions.
- Personality and Lifestyle Fit: Surrogates and intended parents must share some common ground in personality and lifestyle to make the journey more enjoyable and supportive.
Supporting Both Surrogates and Intended Parents
Delivering Hope is committed to supporting not just the surrogates but also the intended parents throughout this journey. From the initial consultation and matching process to ongoing support throughout the pregnancy, our team is here to make sure the experience is as smooth and fulfilling as possible for everyone involved.
