How Thread works

When you help someone build a family, your own family should feel supported, too

From childcare to recovery at home, we build support around your life and stay with you through your first year after birth.

What being a thread surrogate means

Surrogacy asks a lot.
You should, too.

You bring your time, your care and your experience.
Here’s what you can expect from us.

Compensation you choose

You set your base compensation. We put your pay, covered expenses and payment schedule in writing before you commit.

Paid while you wait

Monthly payments begin after your agreed waiting period. We confirm the amount and timing with you in writing.

We plan for your recovery, with scheduled check-ins throughout your first year after birth.

Support for your family

Childcare, travel, time away from work and help at home, planned around your family’s needs.

Finding your match

We talk through your boundaries, including the relationship you’d like with the family you help.

You have time to ask questions and get to know each other. A match moves forward only when you both say yes.

Room to ask. Time to decide.
