Mom Revealed She Loves Being Pregnant So Much That She Is Now Leasing Out Her Womb For $40K

A mother in Atlanta has shared that she finds pregnancy so fulfilling that she's offering her womb for rent to potential parents, at a significant fee of $40,000.

Yessenia Latorre, aged 26, has been through three childbirth experiences. Among these, two were her biological children, and one involved her serving as a surrogate mother.

As she awaits the right time to further expand her own family, Latorre has taken the opportunity to lease her womb to couples facing difficulties with conception.

“I am planning to be a surrogate again very soon; I can’t wait to do this again,” Latorre told NeedtoKnow.co.uk.

Latorre has been chronicling her experiences on the internet, connecting with a substantial following of 222,700 individuals on TikTok. She has emerged as a valuable source of information for prospective parents in search of a surrogate.

Numerous women have contacted Latorre, seeking guidance on embarking upon the surrogate journey. Moreover, more than 100 families have contacted her with the aspiration that she can play a role in realizing their aspirations of initiating a family.

Regarding the substantial charge of $40,000, Latorre hopes for a better understanding that "many surrogates are motivated by more than just money." She views the financial compensation as an extra benefit that accompanies the invaluable transformation she brings to a family's life.

“Family is something really important to me and I’m proud of what I have done,” she said.

In 2017, Latorre welcomed her first child, Tyson, and instantly developed a deep affection for the sensation of being pregnant.

“I really love everything about pregnancy. I enjoy having a baby bump, going to doctors’ appointments, feeling baby kicks,” she gushed.

“After I had my son, I was very happy with the family I had, but I would always feel like I wanted to be pregnant again.”

Not long after, in 2018, Latorre became pregnant again but sadly endured a miscarriage just five weeks into the pregnancy. This heartbreaking incident served as a catalyst, motivating her to offer her womb as a surrogate for those who face challenges in conceiving children.

“I wanted to become a surrogate mostly because of my previous miscarriage … I was devastated. It changed my life forever; I was so alone,” Latorre shared. “I was so hopeless, but at the same time, I felt grateful to even have one child because so many people cannot conceive.”

Latorre welcomed her second son, Trey Junior, in October 2019. However, right away, she started to miss the feeling of being pregnant and yearned to experience it again.

“After I was done breastfeeding my son, I was ready to help another family right away,” she said.

“I felt like I wanted to give back to others. I wanted to work with a family that wanted a relationship with me and will allow me to see the baby in the future that was very important to me. I also wanted to help a mother that couldn’t have a child.”

According to Latorre, she enlisted with a surrogacy agency that connected her with the kind of families she was seeking. This led to the initiation of her inaugural surrogacy journey in October 2021.

In readiness for the surrogacy procedure, Latorre mentioned that she went through a psychological assessment, medical assessment, a sequence of ultrasounds, blood tests, and a month of medication preceding the embryo transfer.

Latorre expressed that she felt exceptionally well-supported throughout the entire journey.

“Everyone was proud of me in the end. The support was overwhelming at times.”

Aside from compensation for medications, the embryo transfer, and a stipend for maternity attire, Latorre earned $40,000 during her initial experience as a surrogate. The surrogacy process usually involves parents paying a range of $100,000 to $200,000.

Lastly, in February 2023, Latorre welcomed a healthy baby boy into the world. “I did not find it difficult to give the family their baby. I was so happy to have done this for them.”

“I will be able to see him in the future, and his mom sends me pictures of him every week. It really makes me happy.”
