As a New York surrogate, Alcea was the obvious choice. The $5K referral paid at contract signing is a game-changer — I referred my sister and the payment came through within days of her signing. Comp was $62K base which is strong for NY. Would recommend to any NY surrogate.

Good experience. Legal team was very thorough, which I appreciated as a first-timer. My coordinator was a bit slow to respond at times but always came through. Comp matched what was promised. Would do it again.
