Third-party medical screening. 3–6 month matching. $65,000–$90,000+ surrogate compensation. Two IVF clinics right in Corona.
Made in the USA Surrogacy, Sacramento-based, serving Corona, Riverside County, and all of California since 2017.
“The screening was thorough, and that made me feel more confident.”
— Maria L., surrogate, Riverside County
Corona has two fertility clinics with on-site IVF labs, a median household income above $109,000, and a population of more than 163,000 families living at the crossroads of Riverside County and Orange County. What it hasn't had, until now, is a surrogacy agency page that names those clinics or publishes the screening and matching data that actually help you make a decision.
Made in the USA Surrogacy is headquartered in Roseville, California, and serves families and surrogates statewide. Our founder, Samantha Giermek, is a former surrogate who built this agency from personal experience. Every surrogate in our program lives in California. Our screening process goes deeper than most agencies are willing to publish. And our typical match happens in 3–6 months, not the 6–12+ months that has become the industry norm.
Whether you're a woman in Corona weighing surrogacy for the first time or intended parents researching agencies that serve the western Inland Empire, this page has the local specifics that other surrogacy agencies leave out.

Our Difference
Why Families and Surrogates in Corona Choose Us
Every agency page you visit will tell you they offer “comprehensive screening” and “great compensation.” Here's what we tell you that they won't.
Third-Party
Medical Screening
Screening That Feels Like an Investment, Not a Filter
Every surrogate in our program completes comprehensive medical evaluation including third-party IVF nurse review of complete OB/GYN records for all pregnancies—not just the most recent. Every candidate also undergoes psychological assessment, financial stability verification, background screening, and unannounced nicotine testing.
This process exists to protect everyone involved—surrogates, intended parents, and the baby. When we say screening is thorough, we can show you exactly what that means.
Every Surrogate Lives in California
No cross-state coordination. No conflicting legal frameworks. When your surrogate is a California resident, the journey stays within the strongest surrogacy legal protections in the country.
For surrogates in Corona, it means working with an agency that coordinates directly with RFC, PRC, and the Riverside-area hospitals you already know.
100%
California-Based
3–6 Months
Avg. Match Time
Matching in 3–6 Months, Not 6–12+
The industry average for surrogate matching is 6–12 months. Some intended parents wait over a year. We typically match in 3–6 months because our surrogate compensation—$65,000+ base for first-time surrogates—attracts a deeper pool of qualified candidates.
More candidates means more potential matches and faster, better outcomes for everyone.
Founded by a Former Surrogate
Samantha Giermek became a surrogate before she built this agency. She knows what the process feels like from the inside, what support actually looks like versus what agencies claim, and what women need to know before they commit. That experience informs our screening, our case management, and the way we communicate. Read more about our story.
“I researched surrogacy agencies for months and kept finding the same vague promises. Made in the USA was the first agency that gave me real numbers, real timelines, and real answers to my hard questions. That's what made me trust them with something this important.”
— Danielle R., intended parent, Inland Empire

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Corona
If you're considering surrogacy, you're weighing two things at once: whether it's meaningful enough to commit your body and time to, and whether it's financially worth it. At Made in the USA Surrogacy, we don't ask you to choose. Both matter.
Surrogate compensation: $65,000–$90,000+. First-time surrogates start at $65,000+ base. Experienced surrogates start at $70,000+. That's significantly higher than other agencies serving the Corona and Inland Empire area, and it reflects what surrogacy actually requires of you.
