To help you feel more confident, informed, and supported, we’ve put together this set of FAQs to address the most common questions we receive from women considering this incredible journey.

Unexpected Situations & Legal Concerns
在 Giving Tree，我们对代孕者和预期父母都进行严格筛查，以确保整个代孕旅程拥有坚实的基础。在极少数情况下，如果预期父母分居或离婚，任何关于孩子监护权的决定都将由他们自行处理。您可以完全放心，绝不会被要求承担婴儿的任何责任。您的角色在整个过程中都会受到尊重与保护。
We strongly encourage all surrogates to have the full support of their partner throughout the journey. If you’re not married, it’s still important to have someone close to you—a trusted friend or family member—who can be there to support and share the experience with you. Having that emotional support can make a big difference along the way.
Throughout the process, Intended Parents may reach out by phone, text, email, or other ways to check in on how things are going—like asking about appointments, ultrasounds, or just seeing how you’re feeling. We encourage open communication and connection whenever possible, but it’s never required.
Most relationships grow naturally over time, and how often you stay in touch really depends on what feels right and comfortable for everyone involved.
Throughout the journey, you may receive updates by phone, email, or WeChat about your clinic visits and ultrasounds. We encourage intended parents to stay in touch along the way, but how often you connect is totally up to everyone’s comfort. After the baby is born, many surrogates and families choose to stay in contact and continue the bond—but again, that’s completely personal and develops naturally over time.
如果发生流产或胎儿丧失，这可能是一个充满情绪和困难的时期。请您知道，您不会独自面对这一切。预期父母仍将负责所有相关事务，我们的团队也会以关怀和同理心支持您，并提供您在身心康复过程中所需的资源。您的身心健康始终是我们的首要关注。
Surrogate Requirements FAQs
Yes! We accept women who have had C-sections. Some clinics have a maximum number of c-sections for surrogates, so you can discuss with our team.
Yes! Having your tubes tied is absolutely okay for surrogacy and is very common among surrogates. Since surrogates become pregnant through IVF (not naturally), the embryos are placed directly into the uterus and the fallopian tubes aren’t used at all. What matters is that your uterus is healthy and able to carry a pregnancy.
In some cases, yes. A past history of depression or anxiety does not automatically disqualify someone from becoming a surrogate. Each situation is reviewed individually, taking into account the diagnosis, how long ago symptoms occurred, whether treatment was needed, and whether the candidate has been stable without symptoms.However, IVF clinics and ASRM guidelines generally require that surrogates are emotionally stable and not currently managing certain mental health conditions or taking medications that could impact pregnancy or postpartum wellbeing. Some diagnoses and medication use may be disqualifying for standard programs.
If you have a history of depression or anxiety, our team will review your information carefully and compassionately and talk through what options may be available, including alternative programs when appropriate. Your health and wellbeing always come first.
Most IVF clinics will approve candidates who have had up to 5 total prior pregnancies and no more than 2 C-sections. The exact limits can vary slightly by clinic, but these guidelines are in place to prioritize your safety and health. Your consultant will always review your full pregnancy history to confirm eligibility.
While the actual pregnancy part of the surrogacy journey may be very similar to your own pregnancies, the road to get there will be different. Health and medical requirements are put in place to help ensure you will respond appropriately to the IVF medications, and emotional and psychological requirements are in place to ensure you are ready for all that a surrogacy journey entails.
If you do not meet the age or BMI requirements, you may still be eligible to become a surrogate depending on your individual circumstances. Contact our team to learn more about your options.
Surrogacy Process FAQs
Most surrogates complete pre-screening within 4–6 weeks, depending on scheduling and clinic availability.
Yes. Medical screening is typically conducted at the intended parents’ fertility clinic. All travel costs are covered.
If results indicate surrogacy may not be safe for you, we’ll explain the findings, answer your questions, and—when possible—recommend next steps.
It helps you feel emotionally prepared for surrogacy, with the right support to navigate challenges along the way.
Surrogacy Compensation & Benefits FAQs
在 Giving Tree Surrogacy，我们提供业内最慷慨且贴心的补偿方案之一，基础补偿通常在 $50,000 至 $90,000 之间，而对于有经验的代孕者，总补偿金额可高达 $115,000。我们深知每位代孕者的旅程都是独特的，因此我们采取个性化的方式为您制定福利方案。无论是您的居住地、代孕经验，还是您在旅程中达成的重要里程碑，我们都会量身打造补偿内容，以真实体现您所付出的时间、关怀与承诺的价值。此外，您还将获得丰厚的奖励，包括我们的推荐奖金——因为我们相信，您的影响应该在各个方面都被充分肯定与回报。
您的月基础补偿通常会在确认胎儿心跳后开始发放，通常是在怀孕第6到第8周左右。除了基础补偿外，您还将获得一些在怀孕前就可能开始的奖金和津贴，例如用于医学筛查、开始用药和胚胎移植的补偿。如果您怀有双胞胎或多胞胎，在大约怀孕第20周时还会获得一项额外补偿，称为“多胎补贴”。所有这些细节都会在筛查过程中与您详细说明，让您在每个阶段都清楚了解将会获得哪些支持与补偿。
预期父母将提供健康保险，以涵盖与您的怀孕和分娩相关的大部分医疗费用。如果出现任何意外或额外的费用，他们也会承担。所有与代孕旅程相关的试管婴儿程序、医疗预约、共付额和自付费用也将由预期父母全额承担。
您在申请时无需在现有保险中包含代孕相关保障。我们的团队会审核您目前的保险计划，并为您提供相关选项的指导。如果保险不涵盖代孕旅程，我们将与预期父母合作，安排所需的额外保障——让您仍然能够继续前行，帮助实现一个家庭的育儿梦想。
Emotional Support & Relationship Dynamics
在整个过程中，预期父母可能会通过电话、短信、电子邮件或其他方式与您联系，了解情况进展，例如询问预约、超声检查，或只是关心您的感受。我们鼓励在可能的情况下保持开放的沟通与联系，但这绝不是强制性的。大多数关系会随着时间自然发展，保持联系的频率主要取决于所有参与者的感受和舒适度。
在整个旅程中，您可能会通过电话、电子邮件或微信收到有关诊所就诊和超声检查的更新信息。我们鼓励预期父母在过程中保持联系，但联系的频率完全取决于每个人的舒适程度。宝宝出生后，许多代孕者和家庭选择继续保持联系并延续彼此之间的情感纽带——但这完全是个人选择，关系也会随着时间自然发展。
我们强烈建议所有代孕妈妈在整个旅程中都能获得伴侣的全力支持。如果您未婚，也同样需要身边有亲密的人——一位值得信赖的朋友或家庭成员——在过程中给予支持并与您共同经历这段旅程。拥有情感支持，在这条路上会带来非常重要的正面影响。
