FAQs About Surrogate Compensation in Portland
These are some of the common questions that women in Portland ask:
Why should surrogate mothers be paid?
As a surrogate, you deserve surrogate compensation that acknowledges the commitment you make to bring a baby into the world for a hopeful couple or individual.

Is Oregon surrogate friendly?

Is surrogate money taxed in Portland?
As a surrogate, you’re providing a valuable service. The compensation you receive is essentially your income as a surrogate. This means that your surrogate pay could be taxed based on your specific situation.
If you receive a 1099-MISC form from your escrow service or intended parents, you should include it as income on your taxes. If you don’t receive a form, you should check with a local tax specialist to determine the best course of action.
Portland has a personal income tax for those who earn an income over $125,000 if filing single or $200,000 if filing joint. Depending on how you file, your surrogate income may not be taxed at the city level, and only at the state and federal level.
Do surrogates get paid if they miscarry?
Surrogates are paid from conception until the miscarriage if they miscarry. If the surrogate and intended parents want to attempt another pregnancy, compensation can begin again when pregnancy is confirmed.
