Ara and Ani
Our Story
After my miscarriage 3 years ago, I was not feeling well. After months of going to different doctors, I had an MRI which changed our world. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. For my safety and baby’s safety, it has been recommended to find a surrogate to start our family.
Our Interests
We love to explore new hiking trails with our maltese, Bella. We absolutely love being outdoors (bike riding at the beach) and immersing ourselves in nature. My husband loves to play the guitar and watch sports. I love to swim, go to the beach, and craft for those I love.

No one likes to talk about surrogate compensation, but it is an important factor in any surrogacy agreement. The following is how we classify high, medium and low compensation (excluding the value of any benefits). Many factors affect surrogate compensation including surrogate experience (e.g., has the woman been a surrogate before?), whether the surrogate is signed up with an agency and surrogate preferences.
- Low = surrogate compensation less than $20,000
- Medium = surrogate compensation between $20,000 and $40,000
- High = surrogate compensation greater than $40,000
