Made in the USA Surrogacy, headquartered in Roseville, CA, serving Vacaville and Solano County since 2017.
“The whole experience felt personal, not corporate.”
— Megan R., surrogate, Vacaville
Vacaville has something most mid-size California cities don't: a Kaiser Permanente Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility clinic right in town, a Level II NICU maternity center named among the best in the country, and a Level III NICU fifteen minutes down the road in Fairfield.
Made in the USA Surrogacy is headquartered in the Sacramento metro area, approximately one hour east of Vacaville on I-80. Our founder, Samantha Giermek, is a former surrogate who built this agency from personal experience. Our surrogates live 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 standard.
Whether you're exploring surrogacy as a surrogate or searching for an agency that knows Solano County's medical resources, this page has the specifics that other surrogacy agencies leave out.

Our Difference
Why Families and Surrogates in Vacaville Choose Us
No other surrogacy agency has a dedicated Vacaville page. Most agencies don't know the Solano County medical network well enough to write one. Here's what sets us apart.
Third-Party
Medical Screening
Screening Built on Thoroughness, Not Shortcuts
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 because the quality of the match matters to everyone involved—surrogates, intended parents, and the baby.
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 Vacaville and Solano County, it means working with an agency based right up I-80 in the Sacramento metro area.
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 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 shapes everything from how we screen to how we communicate. Read more about our story.
“We had been researching agencies for months and kept getting the same polished responses with no real detail. Samantha's team was the first to actually explain how screening works, what matching looks like, and what the timeline would be. That honesty made the decision for us.”
— David and Lauren K., intended parents

For Surrogates
Become a Surrogate in Vacaville
If you're considering surrogacy, you're likely 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 Solano County, and it reflects what surrogacy actually requires of you.
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 by a third-party IVF nurse, psychological assessment, background check, and more. Our team walks you through every step, because we're investing in you, not filtering you out.
