Santa Clarita is the third-largest city in Los Angeles County, and no surrogacy agency has a dedicated page for it. That's a missed opportunity for families and surrogates in the Santa Clarita Valley who deserve local specifics, not a generic LA surrogacy pitch.
Made in the USA Surrogacy was founded by Samantha Giermek, a former surrogate who built this agency from personal experience. Our surrogates live in California. Our screening includes third-party IVF nurse review of complete pregnancy records. And our typical match happens in 3–6 months, not the 6–12+ months that's become the industry standard.
Whether you're a woman in Santa Clarita considering surrogacy or intended parents researching North LA County agencies, this page has the specifics most surrogacy agencies leave out.

Our Difference
Why Families and Surrogates Choose Made in the USA Surrogacy
No other agency has a Santa Clarita page. Here's what we bring that others don't.
Third-Party
Medical Screening
Screening That Goes Beyond the Standard
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. Beyond medical records, every candidate undergoes psychological assessment, financial stability verification, background screening, and unannounced nicotine testing.
We do this 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 laws. When your surrogate is a California resident, the entire journey stays within the strongest legal protections in the country.
For surrogates in Santa Clarita, it means local support from an agency rooted in 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. That experience shapes everything from how we screen to how we communicate. Learn more about our story.

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Santa Clarita
If you're considering surrogacy, you're 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 starts at $65,000+ base for first-time surrogates and $70,000+ for experienced surrogates, with additional allowances throughout the journey. That range, $65,000–$90,000+, reflects what surrogacy actually requires of you.
What the Process Looks Like
Application
Takes about 10 minutes. We review your basic qualifications and health history.
Screening
Medical records review, psychological assessment, background check. Our team walks you through every step.
Matching
We connect you with intended parents based on values, preferences, and compatibility—not just availability.
Medical clearance
Your fertility clinic confirms you’re ready for the transfer process. LA IVF in Pasadena is one of the closest options for Santa Clarita residents.
Legal

Surrogacy is physically demanding, emotionally complex, and not for everyone. We're honest 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 while you do it.
