Two-Time Surrogate Describes the Joy and Process of Helping Others Build Their Families
Katherine Reinhart, a 31-year-old stay-at-home mother of three from Ohio, recounts her experiences as a two-time gestational surrogate. Inspired by a friend's infertility struggles, she began the process in 2022 through the agency Carrying Dreams. After psychological evaluation and legal contracting, she carried a baby for a Michigan couple using a donor egg and the father's sperm, giving birth in January 2024 for a base compensation of $35,000 plus expenses. She then served as a surrogate for an Ohio couple, using the mother's own eggs and new husband's sperm, delivering a second boy in November 2025 for $45,000. Reinhart describes the emotional rewards, the support of her husband and children, and her ongoing relationship with the intended parents. The article also notes that surrogacy is illegal in Germany but legal in the US, referencing German politician Jens Spahn's resignation after having a baby via US surrogate.
