[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the huge income disparity, and difference in socioeconomic status, was it difficult to relate to your GC? Also, it has always struck me as a bit unfair that in the grand scheme of things, the GC gets such a small percentage of the costs associated with Surrogacy. Did she ever seem resentful about this? Would you have preferred to work with someone who was doing it purely for altruistic reasons? Do you feel like the money made a difference to her family?[/quote]

NP.  they said upthread that GC got more than her annual salary plus expenses paid. She probably doesn't know how much the agency/attorney makes on each match. Which is about half of the amount. How did you come up with "such a small percentage"?[/quote]

I'm the PP. if you look at the agency fee, legal fees, cost of IVF, etc, the GC is only getting like 1/4 of the total expenses. I'm looking into using a carrier myself and I feel really bad that the woman who actually carries my child will end up getting relatively little. I'm actually hoping to match independently so that I can pay the GC a better compensation instead of spending that on agency fees.[/quote]
