Central Coast · Surrogacy and egg donation
Santa Barbara donors and surrogates, with a clear plan
Santa Barbara is around two hours from the Westside on a good day, and longer on a bad one. That is a long way for a short visit, so we plan in-person appointments carefully and do as much as we can remotely.
If you live in Santa Barbara, Goleta or Carpinteria, you can work with Poppy as a surrogate or donor. For a retrieval or transfer, an overnight stay may make sense, and we plan that with you. Intended parents from the Central Coast can join the waitlist now.

Questions from Santa Barbara
Is Santa Barbara too far to work with Poppy?
No, but it takes planning. We keep in-person visits to the steps that need them and set the schedule early so you can arrange time off.
Who pays for a hotel if I need to stay overnight?
Overnight stays tied to medical visits are discussed before you sign and written into your agreement. [[PLACEHOLDER: lodging reimbursement terms]]
How much are egg donors paid, and when?
Egg donors are paid from $10,000 per cycle. Payment is made after the retrieval. [[PLACEHOLDER: confirm donor payment timing]]
