About
Growing Generations is a Los Angeles-based surrogacy agency with nearly 30 years of experience, and one of the founding agencies in the LGBTQ+-family-building space in the United States. They offer some of the highest base compensation in the industry — $70,000 for most states, $75,000 for California and select premium states — for first-time surrogates. Experienced surrogates negotiate their own compensation, with some cases exceeding $125,000 total. They describe their applicant selection as top 2% of all who apply.
Founded as one of the first agencies explicitly serving LGBTQ+ intended parents, Growing Generations has built nearly three decades of experience matching diverse families. That community knowledge and advocacy is woven into how they operate for surrogates too.
