    20. What can a woman expect to receive in compensation if she serves as a gestational surrogate? Would she get more money for a multiple birth? - Anonymous - Top

    A first time GS usually receives around 12,000. I have seen the compensation a little lower but, also, I have seen it as high as $21,000. Plus, all of her added expenses related to the surrogacy pregnancy. The norm for the multiple pregnancy is $3000 per additional baby.

    Good luck,
