Want to Work From Home and Care for Your Kids?

If you are a mother to children who are under school-going age, it’s likely that you want to spend as much time as possible with them. However, between work, keeping social, and keeping yourself healthy, it can be very difficult to manage a good work-life balance. Difficult, but not impossible.

Working from home while you care for your children may sound like an impossible dream, but surrogate mothers know that it’s an achievable goal! Interested? Here’s what you need to know about how becoming a surrogate can help you earn a steady income while caring for your children.

Maternity Leave and Surrogacy

It’s no secret that maternity leave in the U.S. is far behind other countries. In fact, when it comes to any kind of parental leave, the U.S. is one of the very few countries that doesn’t guarantee paid leave.

For working parents across the country, that creates a financial hardship that makes it almost impossible to utilize the full 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave that the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows for. That is, of course, if you’re one of the lucky few who qualify for FMLA in the first place, nearly 40% of mothers don’t.

Poor maternity leave policies aside, what options are there for mothers who want to spend more time with their children, but can’t swing it financially?

Surrogacy!

Why You Should Consider Becoming a Surrogate

While surrogacy may not be the first thing that pops into my mind when thinking of ways to work from home, it certainly an option that offers a lot of benefits. Not only does becoming a surrogate allow you to make a base income of $40,000 on average plus all expenses (with some rates significantly higher), but you can spend time with your children without having to worry about a desk job.

Not to mention, if you enjoyed pregnancy, as many moms do, becoming a surrogate can allow you to experience the joys of pregnancy once again. All the while, you’ll be helping deserving intended parents expand their family. Typically, most of the parents that seek out surrogacy are those who biologically can’t have children on their own, are single, or who are suffering from infertility. These individuals want nothing more than to become parents to a little one and simply need help doing so.

Finally, becoming a surrogate means sharing an intimate experience with another person or couple. You will share a lasting bond with the intended parents through the life that you helped create!

Final Thoughts

Working from home is always easier if you’re doing something you love with the people you love. Becoming a surrogate mother allows you to do just that. However, it’s important to consider all aspects of surrogacy and making an informed decision about whether it’s the right choice for you and your family.
