Our Difference
Why Families and Surrogates in Hanford Choose Us
No surrogacy agency has a Hanford office. Several have Fresno pages. Here's what sets MUSA apart from agencies that reference Central Valley from a distance.
Third-Party
Medical Screening
Screening Built on Thoroughness, Not Shortcuts
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 this deeply because the quality of the match matters to everyone involved: surrogates, intended parents, and the baby. A thorough process protects all three.
Every Surrogate Lives in California
No cross-state coordination. No conflicting legal frameworks. When your surrogate is a California resident, the entire journey stays within the strongest surrogacy protections in the country.
For surrogates in Hanford and Kings County, it means working with an agency that understands Central Valley logistics and supports you locally.
100%
California-Based
3–6 Months
Avg. Match Time
Matching in 3–6 Months, Not 6–12+
Many agencies quote 6–12 months or longer. Our typical match happens in 3–6 months because our surrogate compensation attracts a deeper pool of qualified candidates. More qualified candidates means better matches, faster.
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 demands physically, emotionally, and logistically. That experience shapes everything—from how we screen to how we communicate to how we support surrogates through delivery and beyond. Read more about our story.
“I looked into surrogacy for months before I found Made in the USA. What made the difference was how transparent they were about everything—the screening, the timeline, the compensation. My case manager made me feel supported from the very first call.”

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Hanford
If you're a woman in Hanford or Kings County considering surrogacy, you're probably weighing two things: whether it's meaningful enough to commit your body and time to, and whether the compensation reflects what surrogacy actually requires. At Made in the USA Surrogacy, you don't have to choose between them. Both matter.
Surrogate compensation: $65,000–$90,000+. In a community where the median household income is around $76,000, that compensation can be genuinely transformative for your family while you do something that changes another family's life entirely.
