Surrogacy in Fairfieldand Solano County
Third-party medical screening. 3–6 month matching. $65,000–$90,000+ surrogate compensation. Level III NICU at NorthBay Medical Center.
Made in the USA Surrogacy, Sacramento-based, serving Fairfield, Solano County, and all of California.
“The screening process gave us real confidence.”
— Jennifer and Michael R., intended parents, Solano County
Fairfield has something most mid-sized California cities don't: a Level III NICU, Solano County's only Baby-Friendly designated hospital, and a location that sits almost exactly between Sacramento and the Bay Area along I-80. For surrogacy, that combination matters more than most people realize. NorthBay Medical Center has been delivering babies for over 60 years and handles more than 1,000 births annually. It is not a satellite facility. It is the facility that other Solano County hospitals transfer to.
Despite all of this, no surrogacy agency has built a meaningful presence in Fairfield. That is an oversight we've corrected. Made in the USA Surrogacy is headquartered in Sacramento, approximately 50 miles northeast of Fairfield along I-80. Every surrogate in our program lives in California, including surrogates across Solano County and the I-80 corridor. Our founder, Samantha Giermek, built this agency after completing her own surrogacy journey because she saw what the industry was missing: transparency about screening, honest timelines, and an agency that treats surrogates as partners rather than a line item.
Whether you're considering becoming a surrogate in Fairfield or you're intended parents looking at agencies that serve Solano County, this page has the specifics most surrogacy agencies won't publish.
Local Resources
Surrogacy in Fairfield and Solano County
Fairfield's central position between Sacramento and the Bay Area gives residents access to fertility clinics and maternity infrastructure across two major medical corridors. California's surrogacy laws provide the strongest legal framework in the United States.

One of Northern California's most established IVF programs. Serves Fairfield, Vacaville, and Solano County families with full gestational surrogacy coordination. Approximately 45 minutes from Fairfield via I-80.

Delivery Hospital
NorthBay Medical Center (Fairfield)

Spacious private birthing suites, a dedicated neonatal transport team serving surrounding hospitals, and the highest level of neonatal intensive care available in the region.
California Legal Framework
Pre-birth parentage orders mean both parents are on the birth certificate before the baby is born, regardless of marital status or genetic connection. No post-birth adoption. No waiting period. No uncertainty.
For surrogacy births involving multiples or preterm delivery risk, having a Level III NICU at the delivery hospital rather than requiring a transfer is a significant advantage. Learn more about California surrogacy laws.
Our Difference
Why Families and Surrogates in Solano County Choose Us
Other agencies will describe their screening as “comprehensive” and their matching as “efficient.” Here's what we tell you that they don't.
Third-Party
Medical Screening
Screening That Protects Everyone
Every surrogate in our program completes comprehensive medical evaluation including third-party IVF nurse review of complete OB/GYN records for all pregnancies—not just the most recent. Every candidate also undergoes psychological assessment, financial stability verification, background screening, and unannounced nicotine testing.
We invest in this level of thoroughness because the quality of the match matters to everyone involved—surrogates, intended parents, and the baby.
Every Surrogate Lives in California
No cross-state coordination. No conflicting legal frameworks. When your surrogate is a California resident with proximity to Solano County hospitals and fertility clinics in Sacramento or the East Bay, the journey stays within the strongest surrogacy legal protections in the country.
For surrogates, it means local support from an agency rooted in Northern California.
100%
California-Based
3–6 Months
Avg. Match Time
Matching in 3–6 Months, Not 6–12+
The industry average for surrogate matching is 6–12 months. Some intended parents wait over a year. We typically match in 3–6 months because our surrogate compensation—$65,000+ base for first-time surrogates—attracts a deeper pool of qualified candidates.
More candidates means more potential matches and faster, better outcomes for everyone.
Founded by a Former Surrogate
Samantha Giermek became a surrogate before she built this agency. She knows what the process feels like from the inside, what support actually looks like versus what agencies claim, and what women need to know before they commit. That experience informs our screening, our case management, and the way we communicate. Read more about our story.
“MUSA was close enough that we never felt like we were working with a distant agency, but professional enough that we knew we were in experienced hands. The screening process gave us real confidence.”

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Fairfield
If you're a woman in Fairfield or Solano County thinking about surrogacy, you're weighing whether it's meaningful enough to give your body and your time, and whether the financial side reflects what the commitment actually requires. We don't ask you to choose between those things. Both matter.
Surrogacy is one of the most significant things a woman can do for another family. It is also one of the most tangible paths to financial stability for women who qualify. At MUSA, we hold both of those truths simultaneously, because the surrogates in our program do too.
Surrogate compensation: $65,000–$90,000+. First-time surrogates start at $65,000+ base. Experienced surrogates start at $70,000+. Total compensation, including monthly allowances, milestone payments, and full coverage of pregnancy-related expenses, reaches $90,000 or more depending on your situation.
