We work with surrogates and intended parents throughout the Inland Empire, and our screening, matching speed, and compensation are specifics we publish, not claims we leave vague.

Our Difference
Why Families and Surrogates in Rancho Cucamonga Choose Us
No other surrogacy agency targeting Rancho Cucamonga publishes the details below. Here's what we can back up.
Third-Party
Medical Screening
Screening Built on Thoroughness
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.
This process exists to protect everyone involved—surrogates, intended parents, and the baby. The quality of the match matters to all three.
Every Surrogate Lives in California
No cross-state coordination. No conflicting laws. No ambiguity about which legal framework applies. When your surrogate lives in California, the journey stays within the strongest legal protections in the country.
For surrogates in Rancho Cucamonga, it means proximity to local clinics like HRC Fertility and delivery hospitals like San Antonio Regional.
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. We typically match families 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. More matches means 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 it looks like. That experience shapes everything from how we screen to how we communicate throughout your journey. Read more about our story.
“We'd been with another agency for over a year with no match. Within four months of switching to Made in the USA Surrogacy, we were matched with an incredible surrogate who lived less than an hour from our fertility clinic. The screening process gave us a level of confidence we hadn't felt before.”

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Rancho Cucamonga
If you're a woman in Rancho Cucamonga or the surrounding Inland Empire considering surrogacy, you're probably weighing two things at once: whether it's meaningful enough to commit your body and time to, and whether it's financially worth it. At Made in the USA Surrogacy, we don't ask you to choose. Both matter.
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.
Benefits of Becoming a Surrogate
Full health insurance coverage
All pregnancy-related medical care, paid by the intended parents.
Monthly allowances
Maternity clothing, housekeeping, and childcare during appointments.
Independent legal representation
Paid for by intended parents, to protect your rights throughout the process.
Dedicated case manager support
From application through postpartum, including a direct line to someone who understands what you're going through.
The experience itself
Surrogacy is one of the most meaningful things you can do for another family, and the relationships built during the journey often last well beyond delivery.
What the Process Looks Like
Application
Takes about 10 minutes. We review your basic qualifications and health history.
Screening
Medical records review by a third-party IVF nurse, psychological assessment, background check, and more. Our team guides you through every step.
Matching
We connect you with intended parents based on values, preferences, and compatibility.
Medical clearance
Your fertility clinic — which could be HRC Fertility right here in Rancho Cucamonga — confirms readiness for embryo transfer.
Legal
Independent legal representation for you, paid for by the intended parents. Your rights and compensation are locked in before anything medical begins.
Pregnancy and delivery
Ongoing support from your case manager. Delivery at a hospital like San Antonio Regional in Upland or Pomona Valley Hospital, both within 20 minutes.
Surrogacy is physically demanding, emotionally complex, and not for everyone. We're upfront about that. But for the right person, it's one of the most significant things you can do—and it can provide real financial stability for your family along the way.
