Most surrogacy agencies serving Placer County are headquartered hours away. We're 20 minutes down I-80.
Surrogacy isn't a transaction you manage over email with an agency three time zones away. It's a 12-to-24-month relationship that works best when your team is close enough to meet face-to-face, knows the local clinics, and understands that Auburn isn't Sacramento—it's a foothills community where trust is built through presence, not marketing.
Made in the USA Surrogacy is headquartered in Roseville at 970 Reserve Drive, roughly 20 minutes from Auburn down I-80. Our founder, Samantha Giermek, is a former surrogate who built the agency she wished she'd had. Every surrogate in our program is a California resident, which means proximity to Auburn-area fertility clinics, legal protection under the strongest surrogacy framework in California, and a team that lives and works in the same region you do.
Whether you're a woman in Auburn considering surrogacy or intended parents looking for an agency close enough to actually know your community, this page has the specifics that other agencies leave out.

Why Auburn for Surrogacy
Auburn sits at the crossroads of Interstate 80 and Highway 49, the county seat of Placer County, with a small-town character that belies its access to serious medical infrastructure. The I-80 corridor between Auburn and Roseville is lined with the clinics, hospitals, and specialists that a surrogacy journey requires.

Everything Along the I-80 Corridor

Our Difference
What Makes MUSA Different for Auburn Families and Surrogates
Most surrogacy agencies describe their screening as “comprehensive” and leave it at that. We publish what comprehensive actually means.
Third-Party
Medical Screening
Screening That Protects Everyone Involved
Every surrogate in our program completes a medical evaluation that goes beyond standard ASRM guidelines. An independent, third-party IVF nurse reviews the complete OB/GYN records for all of her pregnancies—not just the most recent one. She also undergoes psychological assessment by a licensed mental health professional, financial stability verification, background screening, and undisclosed nicotine testing.
We invest this level of care in every candidate because the quality of the match matters to everyone involved. Surrogates deserve an agency that invests in them thoroughly. Intended parents deserve confidence that their surrogate has been evaluated with the rigor this process requires.
California-Resident Surrogates
Every surrogate in our program lives in California. For Auburn-area intended parents, that means proximity to local fertility clinics along the I-80 corridor, no cross-state legal coordination, and a surrogacy journey that stays within the strongest legal framework in the United States.
For surrogates in Auburn and the Sierra foothills, it means local support, familiar hospitals like Sutter Auburn Faith, and a team based 20 minutes away in Roseville.

3-6 Months
Avg. Match Time
Matching in 3–6 Months
Many agencies quote 6–12 months or longer for matching. Our typical matching timeline is 3–6 months. That's a function of our compensation—$65,000+ base attracts a deep applicant pool—our screening thoroughness, and our California-only focus.
More candidates means more potential matches. More matches means faster, better outcomes for everyone.
Founded by a Former Surrogate
Samantha Giermek didn't study surrogacy from a boardroom. She carried a baby for another family, experienced every step of the process firsthand, and then built an agency based on what she learned: what worked, what didn't, and what surrogates actually need to feel supported through one of the most significant commitments a person can make.
That experience informs how we screen, how we match, and how we support surrogates and families throughout the journey. Learn more about our story.
“We spent over a year with another agency and never got a match. Samantha's team matched us in four months. The screening gave us confidence we hadn't felt before, and the communication was completely different from what we'd experienced.”

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Auburn, California
If you've been thinking about becoming a surrogate—maybe a friend mentioned it, maybe you've been quietly researching for weeks, maybe you drove past our Roseville office and wondered—here's what you should know about working with MUSA as an Auburn-area surrogate.
Surrogate compensation starts at $65,000+ base for first-time surrogates and $70,000+ for experienced surrogates. Total compensation can reach $100,000+ depending on your journey.
Additional compensation includes:
All funds are managed through a dedicated escrow account, so you're never waiting on anyone to follow through.
In a community where the median household income is around $82,000, that's transformative. Surrogacy with MUSA is meaningful work AND it provides real financial stability for your family. We don't ask you to choose between the two, and we don't pretend compensation doesn't matter. It does.
What the Process Looks Like
Application
Takes about 10 minutes online. You'll share basic health history and personal information.
Screening
Medical evaluation, psychological assessment, pregnancy history review, and background check. Our team walks you through every step.
Matching
We introduce you to intended parents based on preferences, values, and what kind of relationship you're looking for during the journey. You have a say in who you carry for.
Legal
You'll work with your own independent attorney (paid for by the intended parents) to review and sign the surrogacy agreement. California law protects your rights at every stage.
Medical
Embryo transfer at your fertility clinic, likely NCFMC Roseville or another clinic along the I-80 corridor, followed by pregnancy confirmation and ongoing prenatal care.
Pregnancy and delivery
Regular check-ins with your MUSA case manager, monthly support, and coordination with your medical team through delivery. Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital's Family Birthing Center is right in town.
The entire journey takes roughly 12–14 months from matching to delivery. It's not easy—the injections are uncomfortable, the early weeks can be anxious, and the emotional weight is real. But most MUSA surrogates describe it as one of the most meaningful experiences of their lives. Our Roseville office is a 20-minute drive from Auburn, close enough for in-person support whenever you need it.

If you're an intended parent in the Auburn area researching surrogacy, here's what working with MUSA looks like—and why the agency you choose matters as much as the clinic.
The Process
Consultation
A free, no-pressure conversation about your situation, timeline, and questions. No commitment required.
Matching
We present surrogate profiles based on your preferences, location, and values. Our typical match happens in 3-6 months.
Medical clearance
Your surrogate completes additional medical evaluation at your chosen fertility clinic.
Legal agreements
Both parties work with independent attorneys to finalize the surrogacy agreement and file for a pre-birth parentage order.
Embryo transfer and pregnancy
Coordinated with your fertility clinic — NCFMC Roseville, Kaiser Roseville, or whichever clinic you choose. 9 months of regular updates and surrogate support.
Birth and parentage
Both parents named on the birth certificate. No adoption. No waiting period. Your baby, your family, from day one.
Why the agency matters: Your fertility clinic manages the medical procedure. Your attorney handles the legal framework. But the agency is the thread that holds the entire journey together. MUSA's screening produces a 99.3%–99.5% success rate after the first two transfers. If you're comparing agencies, ask them how they screen their surrogates. The answers will tell you everything.
The total journey typically takes 18–24 months from your initial consultation to bringing your baby home. Our step-by-step surrogacy process page has the complete breakdown.

Auburn Surrogacy Costs

Total Estimated Investment
$160,000–$250,000+
California's clear legal framework can simplify—and sometimes reduce—legal costs compared to states where surrogacy agreements face more scrutiny. And higher surrogate compensation isn't just an expense; it attracts more qualified candidates, which means better matches, fewer complications, and a smoother journey overall.
