Surrogate FAQ: Greensboro
Is surrogacy legal in North Carolina?
North Carolina has no surrogacy statute and no case law prohibiting it, so gestational surrogacy is practiced here by default. Nothing in state law sets requirements or protections, so your contract is your only protection.
Do I have to live in Greensboro to be a surrogate here?
Typically yes. Most agencies require you to live in the area where you carry the pregnancy, as medical care and legal jurisdiction are location-specific.
Where would my embryo transfer happen as a surrogate in Greensboro?
Both fertility clinics reporting to the CDC within about 40 miles of Greensboro run gestational carrier programs, so transfer and the monitoring around it can usually happen close to home, and the rest of your prenatal care stays with your own doctor.
Do surrogates in Greensboro earn more than elsewhere in North Carolina?
No. Surrogate compensation is negotiated statewide, so a first-time surrogate in Greensboro starts at the same $40,000–$55,000 base as first-time surrogates in Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham. What moves the number is experience (a second journey pays more) and the allowances layered on top, not which North Carolina city you live in.
Is surrogate pay taxable in North Carolina?
Base compensation is generally taxable at the federal level. Expense reimbursements (travel, maternity clothes) are typically not taxable. Consult a tax professional for state-specific guidance.
How long does surrogacy take?
18–24 months from application to delivery: matching (1–6 months), medical screening, legal review, and the full pregnancy term.
