Guess what! There is no real profit! Lets say a Gestational Carrier/Surrogate Mother has agreed to a total of $24,000.00 of 'living expenses' in her contract with her Intended Parents. Once she is pregnant she is usually compensated monthly. If she doesn't spend all of that monthly money on food, maternity clothing, child care, travel expenses (gas, parking), missed work, labor classes, and other pregnancy related issues, IF she has any 'left over' is that considered a profit? What about her TIME at all of those appointments, her effort in staying healthy, her phone calls to the IPs to keep them informed, her discomfort during the early days of her pregnancy with morning sickness and the later months when she can't even tie her shoes? What about the birth and the hospital stay? If we take all of that into consideration there is NO PROFIT!
