Referral Program details

If you refer a surrogate applicant to Circle Surrogacy, you will be eligible to receive the following bonus:

$1,000 for 1 referral
$5,000 for each additional referral

AND, you will receive your bonus even earlier than before! You'll receive half of your bonus when your referral is matched with her IPs, and the second half when your referral is medically and legally cleared for transfer!

Those referral bonuses could really add up! We hope you will be willing to spread this message to your friends, colleagues, and peers!

Each woman you refer to our program, must meet our surrogate requirements below.

If you have someone in mind, please ask her to complete our online surrogate application. Please make sure she lists your name as her referral source on the application. Once she is accepted for a psychosocial screening, she should let the social worker know who referred her. Current surrogates who have referred a candidate can also let their program coordination team knows that she referred someone to our program.

How to receive your bonus

You will receive half of your referral bonus once your referred surrogate is matched with IPs, and the second half when she is medically and legally cleared for transfer.

Please note: If the surrogate is referred by more than one person, the referral fee will be split between the referees.

If have any questions about the process, please email [email protected].
Best surrogacy program for surrogates with our exclusive Circle Surrogate Promise.

The Circle Surrogate Promise

The Circle Surrogate Promise was created because we truly care about our carriers, and we want each of them to have the most successful and rewarding journey possible.

In the past, our carriers shared thoughts and improvements with their social workers, or during their exit interviews, and we took all of those conversations and suggestions to heart and improved on our offerings to our gestational carriers.

Guaranteed Pay, Security and Support

The Circle Surrogate Promise is a program exclusive to Circle Surrogates; no other agency can offer the same level of security and support.

Circle Surrogacy promises:

  1. Guaranteed Compensation. Circle Surrogacy financially backs their Intended Parents, so a surrogate’s escrow account is always funded to ensure she is always paid in full and on time.
  2. No medical bill liability. Circle Surrogacy takes on the liability of medical bills. We listened to our past surrogates and their frustrations with medical bills and we’ve made big changes. While we can never stop having you receive medical bills (since you are the “patient”), our new Fixed Cost programs for Intended Parents allow us to protect both the surrogates and the intended parents, and ensure all medical bills will be paid in a timely manner.
  3. $5,000 compensation, even if you leave the program. If you are accepted into our surrogate program and you are medically cleared and matched with intended parents – but you don’t achieve a pregnancy – we will compensate you for your time, energy and dedication thus far in your journey (up to $5,000 total).
  4. Empowerment in birth choices. Not every gestational carrier has the same desires when it comes to the birth of their surro baby. At Circle, our surrogates have choices for her preferred birth options, such as doula care, a hospital birth, or using a birth center with a midwife.
  5. Personalized, small agency feel, with the resources of a large agency. The first person you speak with at Circle will be an experienced carrier who guides you through the process until you are matched with intended parents, personally introducing you to your dedicated social worker and journey support team, all of whom are in house at Circle. You’ll always be supported by a Circle employee, who knows all the details about you and your journey (you’ll never have to worry about working with a third party who doesn’t even know your name!) Plus, with our expanded team, we are able to offer support groups, virtual events, one-on-one surrogate mentorship and more.

What type of women become surrogates?

If you know someone who's interested in becoming a surrogate mother, and she's wondering if she'd make a good surrogate, here are some thoughts you an share about what it takes for a woman to be a successful surrogate.

First, a successful surrogate mother must meet all of the surrogate requirements put forth by a surrogacy agency and IVF clinics.

Next, a potential surrogate applicant should know that surrogates are human beings who are willing and able to do something incredible for someone else.

Here are qualities that a surrogate mother should have. A surrogate mother should be:

Honest

A surrogate should be honest about everything. Throughout pregnancy, unexpected questions and concerns will arise, and absolute transparency and communication will be key. Being truthful encourages communication. This will help to foster the surrogate-intended parent relationship and make the experience all the more worthwhile and meaningful.

Organized

If you're a super-organized person, you may make a great surrogate! Surrogacy is a huge commitment. There are many items to coordinate, including travel, screenings, evaluations, treatments, and — last but certainly not least — the actual pregnancy. All this on top of her own life, family and kids, and it can be a little overwhelming. That’s why it’s vital she be on top of her game and know how to efficiently manage her time. And, it’s important that she understands that surrogacy may need to take precedence over other commitments.

Informed

Above everything else, a surrogate should have a clear understanding of surrogacy, the surrogacy process, medications, commitments and more. The more knowledge a surrogate acquires, the smoother the journey will be. Those interested in surrogacy can learn by asking questions and conducting research. From the first day of screening to the day she leaves the hospital after delivery, she should fully know her role. At Circle, the entire Surrogate Prescreening Team are experienced surrogates. So from the very first email or phone call, women are able to gain an understanding of what the process is like…from someone who has been through it!

Healthy

Women who are becoming gestational surrogates need to be in good shape. A prospective surrogate should be in excellent overall health to ensure that both she and the baby come through the process safe and sound. Additionally, prenatal care is very important for any woman who is expecting to conceive.

A successful pregnancy requires that the surrogate not consume alcohol, not smoke, eat a well-balanced diet, cut out certain foods, get enough sleep, be active and have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of no higher than 33. Weight plays a role because the levels of body fat can affect conception as estrogen is stored and produced in fat cells. The BMI limits are set by the fertility clinics to ensure a woman will respond properly to medications.

Supported

As anyone who has given birth before knows that there are a wide range of physical and emotional aspects that result from pregnancy. Having a positive and supportive personal environment is just as important as having the proper medical care when it comes to getting through the journey. A great surrogate should have more than one person in her support system and be willing to talk openly about her involvement in the program. When a surrogate tells her family and friends about the journey, the experience is that much more rewarding.
