About
Northwest Surrogacy Center is a Portland, OR-based agency widely recognized for publishing the most detailed and transparent compensation breakdown in the industry. Their $84K–$99K+ total package isn't marketing math — it's fully itemized and publicly documented, with line items most agencies bury in fine print or simply don't disclose. From compensation protection ($10,000) to a doula of your choice, to unlimited lost wages during bed rest, NWSC builds a comp structure that treats surrogates as professionals.
NWSC's publicly available comp breakdown is the most thorough we've found. Every item — including termination fees, fallopian tube/ovary loss, and uterus loss — is spelled out before you sign. That level of transparency is rare, and it matters.

Community Insights
Aggregated from surrogate community forums
I live in Oregon and am a second time surrogate with Northwest Surrogacy Center! I researched several agencies but my first call was to NWSC and from that call I knew they were the agency for me! From start to finish to start again they have been incredible. They handle literally any and everything flawlessly and their communication is top notch! They truly care about their IPs and their surrogates and are there every step of the way for anything you could need.
