חֶסֶד Become a surrogate
Carry a miracle for a family that has waited years for one.
Somewhere, a Jewish couple has a nursery that’s been empty too long. Surrogacy with Naviva means generous compensation, exceptional care, and the knowledge — every single day — that what you’re doing matters beyond words.
- Generous, transparent compensation
- Your own counsel, paid for
- Support that never clocks out
לָמָּה Why women carry with us
You’re not “the surrogate.” You’re the reason everything works.
Our surrogates tell us the same thing in different words: they loved being pregnant, their own family is complete, and they wanted to do something extraordinary with that gift. In Jewish tradition that kind of giving has a name — chesed — and we treat the women who offer it accordingly.
- Compensation package set clearly up front, paid on schedule from escrow
- All medical, travel, and pregnancy expenses covered — never out of pocket
- Your own independent attorney, paid by the intended parents
- Licensed counselor available to you before, during, and after
- A coordinator who answers your texts — evenings and weekends included
You do not need to be Jewish to carry for a Jewish family. Most of our surrogates aren’t — our rabbinic team quietly handles everything halachic, and you’ll always know in advance if a protocol point involves you at all.
דְּרִישׁוֹת Requirements
Could this be you?
National guidelines and our own medical team shape these baseline requirements. If you’re close but unsure, write to us anyway — we’d rather talk it through than have you rule yourself out.
- Age 21–39
- At least one healthy, full-term pregnancy — and you’re raising your child
- No major complications in prior pregnancies or deliveries
- Non-smoker, no substance use; healthy BMI (typically 18–32)
- U.S. resident living in a surrogacy-friendly state (we’ll confirm yours)
- A stable home and a support system that’s cheering for you
- Willing to complete medical and psychological screening
- No reliance on certain forms of government assistance (we’ll explain why)
What the journey looks like
Apply & screen
A friendly call, records review, and screening — at your pace, with no obligation until you sign.
Match with a family
You read about them; they read about you. You meet only if you’re both excited.
Agreements & transfer
Your own attorney reviews everything. Then a short, well-supported medical cycle.
Pregnancy & delivery
Compensation flows monthly; your coordinator and counselor stay close until you’re fully recovered — and after.
Curious? That’s how every surrogate started.
