Pomona sits at a crossroads that most surrogacy agencies overlook. Positioned where eastern Los Angeles County meets the western Inland Empire, your city gives you access to fertility clinics in two major medical corridors and one of the most recognized maternity hospitals in the country.
Made in the USA Surrogacy was founded by Samantha Giermek, a former surrogate who built this agency from personal experience, and every surrogate in our program is a California resident. No other surrogacy agency has a dedicated Pomona page because no other agency is paying attention to the eastern San Gabriel Valley corridor. We are.
Whether you're a woman in Pomona exploring surrogacy or intended parents searching for an agency with real screening depth, this page has the specifics other surrogacy agencies leave out.

Our Difference
Why Families and Surrogates in Pomona 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 Built on Thoroughness
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.
We invest this deeply in the process because the quality of the match matters to everyone involved: surrogates, intended parents, and the baby. A thorough process protects all three.
Every Surrogate Lives in California
No cross-state coordination. No conflicting laws. No ambiguity about which legal framework applies. When your surrogate is a California resident, the entire journey stays within the strongest legal protections in the country.
For surrogates in Pomona and surrounding communities, it means working with an agency that understands your state, your rights, and the clinics in your region.
100%
California-Based
3–6 Months
Avg. Match Time
Matching in 3–6 Months, Not 6–12+
Many agencies quote 6–12 months or longer. We typically match families in 3–6 months because our surrogate compensation attracts a deeper pool of qualified candidates. More candidates means more potential matches. More matches means 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 it looks like. That experience shapes everything from how we screen to how we communicate. Read 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.”
— Rebecca T., intended parent

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Pomona
If you're considering surrogacy, you're probably 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 between the two. Both matter.
Surrogate compensation: $65,000–$90,000+. That reflects what surrogacy actually requires of you—physically, emotionally, and in the time you spend away from your own family's routine.
Benefits of Becoming a Surrogate
Full health insurance coverage
All pregnancy-related medical care, paid by the intended parents.
Monthly allowances
Maternity clothing, housekeeping, and childcare during appointments.
Independent legal representation
Paid for by intended parents, to protect your rights throughout the process.
Dedicated case manager support
From application through postpartum, including a direct line to someone who understands what you're going through.
The experience itself
Surrogacy is one of the most meaningful things you can do for another family, and the relationships built during the journey often last well beyond delivery.
What the Process Looks Like
Application
Takes about 10 minutes. We review your basic qualifications and health history.
Screening
Medical records review, psychological assessment, background check. Our team walks you through every step.
Matching
We connect you with intended parents based on values, preferences, and compatibility.
Medical clearance
Your fertility clinic confirms you're ready for the transfer process. With HRC Fertility in Rancho Cucamonga and LA IVF Clinic in Chino Hills both nearby, most Pomona surrogates have short drives.
Legal
Independent legal representation for you, paid for by the intended parents. Your rights and compensation are formalized before anything medical begins.
Pregnancy and delivery
Ongoing support from your case manager throughout. And with Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center delivering 5,000+ babies per year with nationally recognized maternity care, you'll deliver at one of the best facilities in the state.
Surrogacy is physically demanding, emotionally complex, and not for everyone. We're honest about that. But for the right person, it's one of the most significant things you can do—and it can provide real financial stability for your family while you do it.
