“Matched us in under five months. They understood our area.”
— Rachel & James T., intended parents, Solano County
Vallejo sits at a crossroads most surrogacy agencies overlook. Positioned between Sacramento and San Francisco, connected to both by I-80, Solano County has fertility clinic access, strong maternity hospitals, and a community of women who are already researching surrogacy with nowhere local to turn.
Made in the USA Surrogacy is headquartered in Sacramento, less than an hour northeast of Vallejo. Every surrogate in our program lives in California, including surrogates across Solano County and the North Bay. Our screening process goes deeper than a requirements checklist. Our matching timeline is measured and documented. And our founder, Samantha Giermek, built this agency because she was a surrogate first and saw what the industry was missing.
Whether you're considering becoming a surrogate in Vallejo or you're intended parents evaluating agencies that serve Solano County, here are the specifics most surrogacy agencies don't publish.

Surrogacy in Vallejo and Solano County
Vallejo's location between Sacramento and San Francisco gives residents access to fertility clinics and maternity care across two major medical corridors.

Our Difference
Why Families and Surrogates in Solano County Choose Us
No surrogacy agency has built a presence in Solano County. We want to show you what specifically sets us apart, because the differences matter.
Third-Party
Medical Screening
Screening That Most Agencies Won't Describe
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 do this 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 with proximity to Solano County hospitals and fertility clinics in Sacramento, the East Bay, or San Francisco, the journey stays within the strongest surrogacy legal protections in the country.
For surrogates in Vallejo, it also means a local agency that understands your community and your needs.
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. Read more about our story.
Our office in Sacramento is less than an hour from Vallejo. That proximity means local coordination, face-to-face meetings when you want them, and an agency that understands the North Bay and Solano County rather than treating it as a pin on a national map.
“We looked at agencies in San Francisco and Sacramento, but MUSA was the only one that felt like they understood our area. They matched us in under five months and were there for every appointment.”
— Rachel & James T., intended parents, Solano County

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Vallejo
If you're a woman in Vallejo 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 pick one or the other. 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.
