Surrogacy Journey...

…and we’re not a typical surrogacy agency. That’s why surrogates choose us first.

And it’s why we have one of the best surrogate support platforms in the industry.

For the last 3 years, Surrogacy Is has been inspiring the most amazing moms to become surrogates, helping them find their perfect agency, and supporting them along the way, at no cost to them.

That’s how we’ve helped over 1500 candidates start their surrogacy journeys since 2020.

In our search to find the “perfect agency” for the incredible moms who choose to become surrogates, we’ve learned so much. We’ve learned how some of the most solid and supportive agencies thrive, and we’ve learned where many break down, even the best ones.

And in this search, we’ve realized something… to find our ideal agency, we needed to create it ourselves… and now we’ve done just that.

Here's what to know about how we advocate for surrogates...

We’ve designed our agency with YOU in mind…

We will be honest about whether or not we have parents who are looking for candidates just like you. If we don’t have the right match for you, we can share your profile with our partner agencies that we’ve vetted and trust, so you don’t waste hours filling out long-form applications only to be turned away or ignored or worse — land with an agency you regret!

We insist on stellar communication…

From your first contact with us, all the way through Intake, Matching, and Journey Coordination, you will always be up to date and have clarity on what’s coming next. If you have questions, you can count on us to pick up the phone or reply to your text or email the same day.

We help you find fair surrogacy compensation

We help you to set your base surrogacy compensation to make sure it’s fair and you are getting what you deserve for the generous gift you’re giving! Aside from your base, our benefit package is thoughtful and among the best (if not THE BEST) in the industry, because it was designed by surrogates who know the sacrifice it takes to help someone bring their baby into the world.

We’re with you every step of the journey

We provide free coaching to navigate the complex journey, through webinars, our online groups, and one-on-one calls whenever you need it!

We are true

surrogate advocates

Kay_Experienced Surro
Kay, Experienced Surrogate

A surrogate advocate is a person or group who truly advocates for the brave, amazing moms who decide to become surrogates.

We take being surrogate advocates very seriously. Being a surrogate advocate isn’t a marketing gimmick. It’s not a side-hustle. It’s everything.

Surrogates, in our eyes, are the most important piece of this equation. And being surrogate advocates doesn’t mean we don’t advocate for intended parents. 

Quite the opposite. 

We believe that advocating for surrogates is the key to the smoothest and most successful surrogacy journeys possible. 

While most agencies say they “advocate” for the surrogate, do they really?

If you think about it, the perspective many agencies have comes down to human nature. Most agencies are intended parent focused, because that’s the ultimate client they’re designed to serve. And that’s okay! We serve intended parents, too!

After all, the purpose of a surrogacy agency is to help intended parents achieve their dream of having a baby, and we think that’s an absolutely noble purpose. It’s our purpose, too!

But far too often, the surrogate’s interests can be dismissed, so a true surrogate advocate helps balance that equation.

We’re not looking to tip the scales, just balance them.

No, we don’t think so. If someone truly advocates for surrogates, the interests and experience of the surrogate should be the mission of the company. Their organization should be surrogate focused first & foremost.

That doesn’t mean that intended parents aren’t a focus, as well. But it’s our philosophy that, a well-prepared, well-informed, well-supported surrogate is the cornerstone of the most successful surrogacy journeys.

How we serve intended parents is by taking great care of the surrogates who make the surrogacy journey possible.

And we’re not talking about creating surrogacy divas here. We’re talking about ensuring equal support, and mutual respect. We believe that, if the end goal is for the intended parent(s) to bring home their sweet baby, and for the surrogate (and her family) to have their lives changed in the most positive way, this is how it’s done.

Here’s what’s important to know about us. We’re surrogate advocates first. That’s how we started, and that’s what we’ll always be.

Every surrogate that goes through our process gets the following things that most (all?) agencies don’t offer:

  • A surrogate advocate who supports you through your journey 100% free
  • Access to a library of video and other resources to help you feel confident and prepared each step of the way
  • Ongoing mental health support throughout the journey and up to 6 months postpartum
  • One-on-one IVF Education and Injection Support

Most surrogacy agencies have long lists of intended parents waiting to be matched with their perfect surrogate. If an advocacy group is owned by such an agency, it might be difficult for them to truly encourage any surrogate who enters their process to consider all of her options when they really want her to work with their agency—regardless of whether that’s the best fit for her.

Because we spent our formative years building a platform and relationship with our partner agencies, it’s easy for us to know what each of their IP clientele is looking for and when a surrogate might be happier and have a better match through another program than our own. We only want to manage journeys that we can do an excellent job, so if we cannot offer that to a surrogate candidate, we have no motivation not to be honest about that! 

And here’s what’s important for you to know about working w/ Surrogacy Is… we’ve spent the past 3+ years getting to know the ins and outs of over 100 agencies, and in that process we’ve narrowed it down to a small handful that truly meet the bar we set for our partners — if my sister wanted to be a surrogate, would I feel confident referring her to this agency? If the answer is not a resounding yes, then we don’t refer to them. It’s that simple. 

But all this knowledge has also empowered us to create a program so special and unique, that takes the lessons from the best of the best and pitfalls we’ve seen so many agencies run into throughout our careers in this industry, that Surrogacy Is as an agency, is truly a gold standard in Journey Coordination and Support for Surrogates and Intended Parents. We’re so excited to be able offer this option to Surrogates and IP’s and make the journey feel seamless  from beginning to end. We live for this work and to hear those words at the end of every journey “I could not have done this without you.”

We’ve got you.

Not just an agency, but yes.

We started off as surrogate advocates, and we’ll always be surrogate advocates first and foremost. 

We’re not an agency that starts a “surrogate advocate group” as a marketing gimmick. If you’re already an agency, why not just advocate for surrogates as an agency, if you truly care about advocating for surrogates?

And there are agencies that truly do this for surrogates, don’t get us wrong. For example, the agencies we provided in the past as options for you are agencies who truly advocate for surrogates.

So, if anything, we’re surrogate advocates that started an “agency” to better serve our surrogates. If we can be the best option and fit for what you need in your journey, then we should be your agency.

Can you see the difference?

So, if you haven’t yet, take our 8-minute quiz, then schedule a 1-on-1 call with a surrogate advocate (they’re experienced surrogates, too!) and they can walk you through what surrogacy could look like for you and your family!

The journey of surrogacy is an amazing, life-changing experience.

Moms get to help another family get started while bringing herself the opportunity to do the things she’s always dreamed of for her own family.

Every single woman who volunteers to take on this journey to help another family become whole, does so with lots of different ideas, expectations, and motivations.

Whether you’ve seen first-hand the struggles of infertility for someone you love and care about, or you are simply exploring the idea out of curiousity, it’s important that you are informed about the process, the risks, and the rewards of helping someone else in such a tremendous way.

As much as intended parents have ideas about who they want their surrogate to be, and how they imagine her lifestyle and values while caring for their unborn child, surrogates also have expectations and hopes for the type of family they want to share this journey with. It’s our goal to connect amazing moms with the right surrogacy agencies to bring their dream to life, too.

We believe with all our hearts that surrogacy is family, sisterhood, strength. Surrogacy is… Love.

Kelsey Surrogate
Kelsey, Experienced Surrogate

A good surrogacy agency matches surrogates with hopeful people who want to have a baby. They thoroughly screen potential surrogates and parents and guide them through the entire process, including timely disbursement of funds to the surrogate, and providing support until a short while after delivery.

BUT, NOT ALL SURROGACY AGENCIES ARE CREATED EQUAL.

There are so many parties involved in the delicate emotional, legal and financial process and agency oversight is a must.

The right agency will make sure all medical bills are taken care of by the trust and escrow so that nothing remains on the surrogate’s shoulders after delivery.

Meet Our Founders...❤️

Sunshine Hanson

Sunshine Hanson

Founder, President, 3x Surrogate

Fueled with the mission to add more heart to surrogacy journeys.

If you ever get the pleasure of meeting our co-founder, Sunshine Hanson, you’ll quickly realize she’s as warm as her name suggests and as fun as her ever-changing hair color.

Another thing that’s hard to miss about Sunshine is her passion for surrogacy.

In 2017, Sunshine transitioned from teaching high school English to working in the surrogacy industry. With her experience as a 3x gestational surrogate, she wanted nothing more than to be a part of helping surrogates have beautiful journeys.

But as she dove into the industry, Sunshine couldn’t shake the feeling that there just wasn’t enough advocacy, transparency, and support in the community. That feeling grew so strong that Sunshine knew she had to do something bigger to improve the surrogacy industry.

Together with her husband, Kyle, she used that feeling to build Surrogacy Is. Shortly after launch, they recognized the need was larger than they anticipated, and they needed help to fulfill their mission, and her former colleague, Casey, was the missing piece of the foundation. Together, they formed a dedicated team and created an advisory program where surrogates could learn about the process and feel confident in their choices. Then, after 3 years, the dream evolved even further when the team found that intended parents weren’t getting the same considerations. Determined to do what feels right for everyone involved, the Surrogacy Is agency was born.

When Sunshine isn’t sharing her tips and surrogacy stories online or spreading her infectious passion about surrogacy, you might find her relaxing in the pool with her daughter and three dogs, or testing out a new brunch spot in Savannah.

Casey Bojorquez

Casey Bojorquez

Founder, Vice President, 2x Surrogate

She won’t rest until everyone is taken care of.

Have you ever met someone who instantly made you feel so good inside? Someone who just radiates love and makes you feel safe like you can trust they’ll always be on your side? That’s Casey—our co-founder, Vice President, and collective mama of Surrogacy Is.

On a deeper level, Casey Bojorquez is a two-time surrogate with over a decade of experience working in the surrogacy industry. Throughout her work, she couldn’t help but feel similar sentiments as Sunshine about the industry— so she was thrilled when Sunshine and Kyle approached her about joining forces to create something better for the surrogacy world.

Casey started out by developing a more comprehensive surrogate outreach and community program, but she as time went on, she dreamt of doing more. Instead of trying to find the best agencies to recommend to new surrogates, she believed Surrogacy Is could become the perfect agency for both surrogates and intended parents.

So, that’s exactly what the team set out to do, and the direction of Surrogacy Is shifted to create a space where surrogates and intended parents are advocated for and supported—every step of the way.

When our lovely Casey isn’t making waves in the surrogacy world, she can be found enjoying time with her husband and four daughters at the beach or hiking a new trail.

Kyle Hanson

Founder, CEO, CMO, Husband to 3x Surrogate
(that counts, right?)

Once a skeptic… now a surrogacy evangelist.

If you’re ever looking for a mediocre Dad joke, Kyle is your guy. If jokes aren’t your thing, he’s also really good at having heart-to-hearts with surrogate partners or offering the absolute best forms of encouragement.

Our co-founder, Kyle Hanson, is the type of guy who loudly roots for you, whether you’re a surrogate or an intended parent. He wants you to have the most empowering, informative, and supported surrogacy journey possible.

Why? Because he watched his wife Sunshine go through the journey of surrogacy first-hand as a surrogate, and he witnessed the boss energy it takes for a woman to be a surrogate. He also got to meet (and bond with) both sets of her intended parents. He heard their unique paths to parenthood and sympathized with everything they had gone through to have their biggest dream come true.

When Kyle & Sunshine started talking about the idea of Surrogacy Is, it didn’t take long for him to develop what is still the base framework for how Surrogacy Is reaches so many amazing moms, every single day. In fact, he immediately started working tirelessly behind the scenes to make it a reality—and he remains the “wizard behind the curtain” for everything that helps Surrogacy Is run today.

During the day, you can usually find Kyle putting out tech fires, rallying up the marketing team, and sending a good (great?) GIF in the team chat. When he logs off, he’s usually cruising the coastal Georgia rivers with Sunshine and their daughter, Jasmine, or he’s catering to Dee Dee, Adora, and Finny, the family dogs. You might also find him performing a drum solo on any and every available surface.

They say it takes a village to raise a child. Sometimes, it takes a village to have a child.

Frequently

asked questions

Take our short 8-minute quiz now.

Surrogacy is a process where a woman carries and delivers another person or couple’s child. This pregnancy happens through in vitro fertilization (IVF), which means this woman does not have any biological connection to the baby.

The surrogate is the ‘gestational carrier;’ this means she is providing the womb to carry the embryo for the Intended Parents (IP’s).

In surrogacy, there are Intended Parents, agencies, and surrogates.

The Intended Parents (IP’s) are the individuals looking to build their family or bring a baby into the world. The agencies work directly with the IP’s, helping them find the right surrogate candidates, coordinating with attorneys, helping with logistics (insurance, psychologists, contracts, etc.) and supporting them in the decision-making process. This way the IP’s can focus on developing a relationship with the surrogate! And the surrogates are the incredible mamas who help make it all happen!

Yes, but more. 😉 First & foremost, we’re Surrogate Advocates who support amazing moms in their surrogacy journeys. That’s how we started in 2020… solely working with surrogates. We’ve been helping amazing moms choose from vetted, ethical surrogacy agencies who are motivated to do their best work for our candidates.

We’ve taken all that experience and created what we like to think is the ideal agency not just for the amazing moms who choose to be surrogates, but also the hopeful parents-to-be who are putting their all into the mission to bring home their bundle of joy.

Throughout our first 3 years solely working w/ surrogates as advocates, we’ve realized something: There aren’t as many agencies who truly advocate for parents and surrogates as we’d like… believe us… we’ve searched. 

So we decided to start an agency of our own.

There’s no one perfect agency, but we’re dedicated to becoming yours.

We offer a quick (free!) quiz to help you see if you’d be a good candidate for surrogacy. Click here to take it now!

There are several requirements for surrogates (in order to protect the health of both the surrogate and the baby). You can find them on our requirements page.

Here are a few:

–        having at least one successful, full-term pregnancy

–        being within a recommended age range

–        having a ‘healthy’ BMI

–     free of tobacco and recreational drugs

–    having a strong support system 

To be honest, some of these requirements can be confusing (or, frankly, feel a bit limiting). So, once you take the quiz, if you have questions, feel free to reach out to us! We’d be happy to explain, provide clarity on your qualifications, or work with you on the next steps in your journey.

We put ‘healthy’ in quotes for a reason—because what’s considered ‘healthy’ is so different for each person! And, depending on a myriad of other factors, you may not need to fall exactly within this range.

However, a BMI between 18-32 is recommended because this is what is considered medically healthy for a surrogate undergoing IVF and other treatments along the journey.

A BMI that falls under the range may be too low for a safe pregnancy and delivery. It may also point to underlying health conditions for the surrogate. A higher BMI can impact the effectiveness of the IVF treatment, how your body responds to the medication, and ovarian function in general. A higher BMI can also lead to pregnancy and birth complications, too, which is why this requirement is set–not only for surrogates but at all fertility clinics. 

In short, the BMI range is all about ensuring the healthiest pregnancy possible. 

First of all congratulations! Only 4 out of 10 women who take the quiz meet all of the requirements, so it’s super rare to have both the heart and the health history to qualify as a surrogate! 
The next step after passing our 8-minute quiz is to schedule a Q&A with one of our awesome surrogate advocates. They’re experienced surrogates, too! They’ll walk you through the whole process, help to build your profile, determine your ideal compensation, and match you with the best agency out there specifically to match your unique wants, needs, and personality. 

Yes! You can become a surrogate if you’ve had tubal ligation.

Tubal ligation is a surgery that involves cutting and tying the fallopian tubes (which prevents an egg from entering the uterus or sperm from passing from the tube to the egg).

In surrogacy, pregnancy happens through IVF—where the fertilized egg/embryo is transferred directly to the uterus—which doesn’t involve the tubes at all! So, in short, you can still bring your IP’s baby into the world even after tubal ligation.

  • Typical compensation packages for surrogacy consist of a base compensation ranging from $45,000 – $75,000, based on several factors plus additional payments for milestones leading up to and throughout the pregnancy, such as medication start, embryo transfer, maternity clothing at second trimester, and more.
  • All expenses are paid for the surrogate to meet with the parents’ IVF doctor for an in-person medical evaluation. If travel is required, those expenses are paid for as well as a per diem for meals and expenses.
  • Compensation and Benefit Packages typically start once legal contracts are signed and a trust account is fully funded with the entire surrogate compensation and expenses. 
  • Surrogates receive their base compensation in monthly installments throughout the pregnancy. 

Read more about surrogacy compensation: https://surrogacy.is/compensation/

No, your eggs won’t be used in the surrogacy process.

There are two types of surrogacy—traditional and gestational—and with gestational surrogacy (the type of surrogacy we focus on!), the IP’s eggs and sperm will be used.

So, in short, the surrogate will not be biologically related to the baby at all.

Although it might seem strange that your significant other needs a background check, this is a requirement in place to protect all aspects and all individuals in the surrogacy journey.

A background check (both for the surrogate and her spouse) helps to ensure the safety of the environment for surrogate and baby during pregnancy and birth.

(Don’t worry, the Intended parents undergo a background check too!)

Yes, you can’t have more than 2 C-sections (or 3 with a clearance letter from your OB) or more than 6 live births.

There are a few required vaccinations for surrogacy: TDAP, Varicella (chickenpox immunity), MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). Others, for example flu and COVID are flexible.

Some IP’s may have specific requirements for their surrogate to ensure safety during pregnancy and delivery, or to match their lifestyle and values.

It’s best to first take our short quiz to see if you qualify as a surrogate candidate. When you take the quiz, you’ll be able to see and understand the basic requirements.

From there, we will connect with you to learn your goals, perspectives, and values—and connect you with an agency  that honors your choices.

Typically, 21-40. We’ve had cases up to 45 get approved by an IVF clinic, but it’s rare. 

Every prospective surrogate must be at least 21 years old before she can be approved for surrogacy. This minimum age requirement is set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, based on what experts have identified as the best indicators of success for a gestational carrier.

But most importantly age restrictions exist only to protect the surrogate and the baby’s health and give the best chance for successful outcomes! 

For us to help you become a surrogate, you need to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident.

Yes! You absolutely can be a single mom and a surrogate. You just need to make sure you have a good support system. You might need emotional support or potentially someone to be with your kids while you are attending appointments or delivering your intended parents’ magical, miracle baby.

No. All medical expenses are covered by insurance or the intended parents/agency. All expenses are paid for the surrogate to meet with the parents’ IVF doctor for an in-person medical evaluation. If travel is required, those expenses are paid for as well as a per diem for meals and expenses.

Also, before surrogate pregnancy, typical benefits & compensation can include:

  • Monthly non-accountable allowance starting at $250+ per month throughout the journey
  • Mock Cycle Fee starting at $500+
  • Medication Start Fee starting at $500+
  • Signing and other bonuses starting at $1000+
  • Embryo Transfer Fee starting at $1000+
  • Health Insurance Monthly Premium (actual cost)
  • Legal Counsel (actual cost)

Parents that have decided to choose surrogacy have already been through a lot! The couples that I carried for had already fallen in love with the EMBRYOS before they transferred them to my uterus. They knew the sex of the future baby, and that they had all the normal chromosomes they should have.  They knew for a decade before trying surrogacy that they would find a way to bring those embryos to life. And that’s the story of a lot of those couples. They have invested so much time, hope, tears, and resources to make it possible for their children to be born. They will never change their mind about it!  But if they did (which they won’t!) there are fully enforceable legal contracts in place, as well as a fully funded trust account that has your entire compensation and medical expenses in it before you even begin IVF medications. The legal contract even has provisions in place for a next of kin, should anything happen to the parents before the baby is born, so there is someone ready and able to take them home and love them when they are born. When you get to the matching stage and hear the parent’s stories, you will see. Intended parents love their children just as much as we love our own.

A gestational surrogate becomes pregnant via IVF. The embryo is created in a lab, where the intended mother or donor egg is fertilized with the intended father or donor’s sperm. The embryo is then implanted into the surrogate’s uterus. With this method, the surrogate is not related to the baby. The majority of surrogacy arrangements are gestational these days. 

At first glance, it would seem obvious that a surrogate would get attached to the child, right?!

But as a surrogate, you go into the process with eyes wide open to the fact that the child you are caring for is not your own.There is not that sense of yearning you have when you’re carrying your own child, wondering if it will have your eyes or your husband’s nose. You are not choosing the baby’s name. You’re not imagining all of the big moments the way you do with your own sweet babies!

You go into the pregnancy in a very non-romantic, science-based way, and you know that this kid’s parents loved her before she was ever conceived, and fought so hard to make her life a reality.

In fact, you probably will feel more attached to the intended parents, and not the baby.

Nope! We partner with agencies all over the US, who work with surrogates, intended parents, and hospitals all over the US.
If you prefer a local match or less travel, we will help you find agency options that meet your needs, but geography won’t hurt your ability to become a surrogate.

Once we review your agency options with you and you choose your ideal agency, you’ll complete their intake process until you’re cleared to match. There are a lot more intended parents than surrogates, so matching is usually fairly quick for surrogates. From the time you complete the intake process to match, it takes about 30 days on average. 

💯 you do! We work hard to find you the right agency who has the type of intended parents you want to help. We have a great relationship with our agencies, and they know how important it is to us that they find you the intended parents you’re hoping for!

While there are very few companies who call themselves surrogate advocates, we’re definitely not all the same. For example, Surrogacy Is…❤️ is founded and privately owned by experienced surrogates whose singular focus is to advocate for other women entering this process, in the way we wish we’d had when we were starting out.

At Surrogacy is… being a surrogate advocate is not a “gimmick” or a sales pitch. It is in the DNA of each member of our organization, and our sole purpose for existing. 

While there are others out there who call themselves “surrogate advocates” most are owned or funded by agencies whose interest is to recruit surrogates into their program, whether or not it’s the right and best fit for each surrogate.

But wait, didn’t I hear you say that you’re an agency, too?

We’re a surrogate advocate group who created an agency to provide more choice to our surrogates. That’s very different than an agency who creates a “surrogate advocate” group to refer people to their agency.

It’s totally normal to start to question this when you’re pre-screening to become a surrogate, especially during your psych evaluation.

But there’s always good reason. The professionals are just doing their part to ensure that a surrogate is well-prepared for the surrogacy journey.

Our co-founder Sunshine says it best, “When someone enters into this journey to carry a child for someone else, it’s important to make sure when she gets to the other side of it, she’s as whole, healthy, and secure as she was when she went into it.”

Ongoing mental health support is something that we believe is very important during a surrogacy journey, and that’s why our agency includes it in our benefits package for both surrogates and intended parents. If you want to hear more, visit our website to connect with our team.

It’s the first Sunday of November and that means it’s Trans Parent Day! 🏳️‍⚧️

On this day, we cheer (just a little bit louder compared to our already normal cheers) for the parents who provide a safe space for their trans or non-binary children to live authentically as their true selves. And for the trans or non-binary parents who are showing their children what it means to live proudly as themselves.

We also want to give a hand to those in the community who aren’t parenting but have been an important and caring role model, mentor, or caregiver. Your love is noted and appreciated, too! 👏👏

If you have a trans or non-binary parent or child in your family, make sure to give them an extra hug from us today! 🫂💞🫂

Many surrogates worry about how their children will react to the news of them carrying a child for another family. Will they confuse the surro-baby as a sibling? Will the whole thing just be over their head?

Here’s the brilliant thing ✨Kids are some of the most understanding people in the universe.✨ So, when you explain to them what being a surrogate means and the fact that there are people out there who want to love a child as much as mommy loves them, usually they’re like, “Oh, ok.” 😀😅

It’s amazing how they just tend to get it… and accept it. 💞

To help with explaining everything, there are some amazing children’s books about surrogacy. A couple of our favorites are:

📖 The Kangaroo Pouch by Sarah A. Phillips
📖 My Mom is a Surrogate by Abigail Glass
📖 Grown in Another Garden by Crystal Falk
(All of which can be found on Amazon 📦)

📣Fellow surrogates, how did you tell your kids about surrogacy, and how did they react? Share your stories with us in the comments 🫶

November is Adoptee/Adoption Awareness Month and our team at Surrogacy Is celebrates every beautiful way to build a family.

While we help build families through surrogacy, we also have some adoptive parents/adoptees on our team. At the end of the day, we’re big supporters of all happy, loving families. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

To us, there is no right or wrong way to build a family. One person’s choice to pursue one path to parenthood over the other is completely up to them, and their choice should be celebrated.

As long as there is an abundance of love, support, care, acceptance, and understanding at the foundation of your family unit, that’s the most important thing! 🫶

Did you know in the United States, about 2% of babies are born through in vitro fertilization (IVF)? This means over 8 million babies have been born using this technology in the past 10 years.

Did you also know there are some politicians who want to ban or drastically limit access to IVF and fertility treatments?

Hopeful families do not deserve this.

For their sake, we can’t afford not to vote in this election. We can’t afford not to ask our friends and family to join us in supporting the hope that so many deserving people have for creating a loving family that wouldn’t be possible without assisted reproductive technology.

So, if you feel inclined, please share this post in your Stories to spread the message and encourage others to #StandwithIVF

You never know what future families could depend on it.

Tyeisha said surrogacy helped her cherish her time with her own daughters more and it was a heartwarming experience for all of them to see her intended parents hold their baby boy for the first time.

Surrogacy was truly an experience for the whole family and she says everyone has grown from it. 💕

💬Surro-sisters, did you have a similar experience? Do you feel like being a surrogate helped your own family grow? Share your experiences with us in the comments, please. We’d love to hear them!

If you don’t have a million things on your to-do list, are you even a mom?🫠 😂

It’s so easy to fill those planners with appointments, school reminders, and a running grocery list—but don’t forget to make some space to jot down some of the beautiful moments, too.

Someone once shared that at the end of every day, they write down one good thing that happened… whether that’s a note about your little one losing their first tooth, a compliment you received from your boss, or even just getting coffee with your BF. Whatever it is, they jot it down. ✍ And we love that idea! 💕

It’s so easy to feel buried by it all, but when you start collecting and looking back at all the good, everything feels a little less heavy. You’d be surprised how taking the time to find the positive in each and every single day helps refocus your whole mindset. 🤗

Try it! Then let us know if you notice a change.

At Surrogacy Is, advocating for surrogates has always been at the heart of who we are. That’s why we’re so excited to start advocating for intended parents too with our new agency.

We’ve talked to many intended parents who’ve found themselves putting down large deposits with other agencies in hopes of starting their surrogacy journey. Instead, they were met with false promises and waitlists that would extend the start of their journey way out past a year.

This did not feel right to us.

Intended parents have already lost and invested so much time and money on their journey to parenthood. That’s why we don’t believe in asking for any agency fees until a match is solidified and approved by your IVF clinic. In the beginning, all we focus on is getting your profile set up and finding you a match in 90 days or less… which we guarantee we can do!

If you’d like to hear more about our process, fill out a short intended parent form at surrogacy.is/for-intended-parents and someone in our IP Relations team will be in touch right away!

Man can it be hard on the other side of the neighborhood as IPs just trying to get through every stage and talking to what feels like 100 people, wondering how each appt is going, or if this embryo finally stuck. It’s a wild ride but don’t worry we’ve gotchu and we’re going to make sure it’s as transparent, supportive, and incredible as possible for you all 💖 ...

When things feel hard it’s easy to shut down and keep everything in. Sometimes that’s okay—but sometimes it can make things feel even dimmer.

Even though it feels like you’re going through something isolating, the chances are someone out there knows exactly what you’re going through. And you may never know who that might be. It could be a coworker who you didn’t even realize was going through IVF or a cousin who made it seem so easy but in reality, she had her own struggles.

When you share that you’re having a hard time, whether one-on-one or online, those who’ve been through it before can rally around you and offer their support and advice. Sometimes just the acknowledgment that you’re not the only one who’s felt this way is enough to make it feel a little bit easier.

Sharing your story is powerful… and one day you might just be the one offering support and love to someone else on the same journey!

Surrogacy is such a beautiful compromise of doing something amazing for someone else, while also helping out your own family with the compensation. Not to mention the overwhelming sense of pride a surrogate feels for herself.

There’s nothing like getting hyped for your lining check, thinking it’s is good under the hood and then hearing the new that the uterine lining isn’t thick enough yet, so we gotta adjust the protocol and delay the transfer 🫠

It’s often a part of the process we just got to keep striving forward, knowing we’ll get there eventually!

Thank you to all the employees who could make our Surrogacy Is company retreat this year. We are so proud of the hard work the team has put in this year to evolve Surrogacy Is and help so many surrogates and intended parents. 
 It’s an honor to work beside each and every single person on our team. We pride ourselves on helping others create their families, but truth be told, we couldn’t do it without our very own Surrogacy Is family working so hard and caring so passionately right alongside us. 

To our team, thank you for everything you do! 🩷 Sunshine 🩷 Kyle 🩷 Casey 🩷

It’s BEEN A RIDEEEEE and whether you’re an intended parent getting the preggo confirmation about your surrogate after a long series of loss & grief and you’re finally filled with more hope and joy that this could actually be finally happening…

Or you’re a surrogate who after countless shots, blood draws, & embryo transfers you get the news that you’re finally pregnant for your IPs and ready to move into the official pregnant stage…

It’s a feel good moment for everyone. 🎉🤗💖

🎉 Welcome Baby #7! 🎉
We’re overjoyed to announce the arrival of another precious baby through the gift of surrogacy! 💖 Ashley, our incredible surrogate, first joined us May of 2023, and IPs E&N began their journey in July of 2023. After being perfectly matched in August 2023, they embarked on a beautiful path together for 14 months that led to this heartwarming moment.

Baby has arrived safely and is already showered with so much love! Ashley has been an absolute rockstar throughout the entire journey, and we couldn’t be prouder. Join us in celebrating this special milestone and sending love to both families! 🌈✨

Here’s to the start of many more beautiful memories! 💕

Let’s talk about bullying. 🗣️

October is National Bullying Prevention Month and it’s a great reminder why being kind to one another is so important. Many people think that bullying is something you only have to worry about when you’re in school, but the harsh reality is that bullying can sneak up on you even into adulthood.

One of the most surprising places where bullying can rear it’s ugly head is in surrogacy Facebook groups. For a community that should be so compassionate and loving, it is terrible how some people choose to speak to one another or try to bring others down. Here at Surrogacy Is, we don’t tolerate bullying. 🚫

Every person should be able to feel safe within their own communities. Whether that’s a child just trying to learn the complexities of algebra or a hopeful parent wanting to explore something they’ve never dealt with before. Both deserve respect and the space to feel like they belong.

Today, we encourage you to be a part of the movement that spreads kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Be that warm presence that lets someone else know they are welcome and safe in this space with you. It will have a bigger impact than you may ever know. 🫶

Have you met our co-founder Casey? 🥰

Casey is an experienced surrogate and a champion of positivity in the surrogacy industry. The idea of surrogacy was first placed in her heart many years ago after she chatted with a friend about her infertility difficulties. It made Casey question, “How come it’s easy for some and not for others?” Especially when she knew her friend would be an amazing mom. So once she learned about surrogacy, she knew it was something she wanted to do. She was eager and excited to give someone else the joy of parenthood too.

If you’ve ever felt like Casey and want to hear more about being a surrogate. Take our short quiz at surrogacy.is/life-changing-quiz today to connect with a surrogacy advisor!

Every morning brings a new beginning.

Yesterday might have been hard.

🫢 Your kid could have been extra picky and turned his head up at every meal option you put in front of him...

💻 Your boss may have pulled you into a bazillion meetings that could have been resolved over an email...

😴 Your partner might have snored extra annoyingly during your favorite show...

BUT that was yesterday. So, leave all those frustrations behind and start today off with a smile and the hope that the day will go better than yesterday`s.

And if it ends up it`s not... welp, we can always try it again tomorrow. 😜

A lot of partners are almost *confused* when their wives mention wanting to be a surrogate. They just don’t really get it. Like why would someone want to go through the IVF process, the discomfort of pregnancy, and give birth (literally one of the most painful experiences EVER) for… someone else? WHYYYY? 🤯😱

But then they meet the hopeful intended parents.

They hear the IPs` stories. They hear their hopes for the future. They see that they’re just real people like them, wishing for a family similar to theirs.

At that point, they still might not get why their wife is willing to do it, but they get what it means to someone else. Surrogacy touches their heart from that moment on. 💜💙

Partners who go through surrogacy uniquely bond together over another level of support and compassion they go through. It’s an unexpected benefit of surrogacy that others just don’t get to experience.

Our founder Kyle knows exactly what it’s like to have doubts when your partner wants to do surrogacy. That’s why he’s always willing to chat with unsure partners.

If this sounds like someone you know, let us know and we can work on connecting. 🤳

There can be such a stigma around talking about menopause. A lot of women can feel embarrassed to admit that they`re going through it—even though it’s a natural phase of life. If you’re currently going through it, or have already, there’s no shame girl! 🚺

Menopause definitely comes with its own set of challenges and transformations, but the more we, as women break the silence and feel comfortable sharing our experiences (and special tips and tricks for dealing with things like hot flashes and mood swings!) then we can treat menopause for what it is: something every woman will go through.

Something every woman can take comfort in complaining with their girlfriends about. 😁

Menopause can signify the closing of one chapter, but it’s also a celebration of another. It’s time to reclaim yourself on your own terms, outside the notion that your value is solely based on your possible reproductive years. What things do you want to accomplish in this next phase? The possibilities are endless. 🙌

No matter how many times you have to repeat it to yourself, don’t let yourself forget it.

Infertility isn’t anyone’s fault.

And if you’re going through it, it doesn’t mean that it’s an indication of how much you deserve to be a parent. You deserve it.

This community is here for you. Here to cheer you on. To listen to you vent. And to cry with you when it’s hard. As much as it’s true that no one should feel at fault, no one should have to carry the hard feelings of it alone either. We’re sending you love 🫶

Today we remember the babies we carried but didn’t get to meet. The babies born sleeping. The babies we held but never got to take home. And all the babies we had to say goodbye to way too soon.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day…it’s more than just a day. A loss is something that you carry every day, every month, every year of your life. It’s a heartache that never goes away.

But spreading awareness around loss, sharing stories, and building a community can help that pain feel a little less unbearable to carry every day.

Today (and always) we hold space for those who have experienced loss and we send our immense love and support to everyone who has dealt with this unimaginable heartache. If you feel comfortable, please share your baby`s name in the comments so we can honor them.

📣 Community, please send love to each of these babies and their families by giving each comment a heart emoji. Let’s give them the outpouring of love they deserve today. 🫶

Compensation may not be the main reason why women decide to become surrogates… but it doesn’t mean it’s not an important factor in her choice!

Yes, many surrogates do surrogacy because it’s an amazing thing to do for someone else. But it’s also a way for her to accomplish goals that may have felt too far out of reach otherwise.

Many surrogates use their compensation to…
🏡Buy a house
💸Pay off debt
💼Start a new business
📅Take time off
🎓Go back to school
❗And so much more

If you’ve completed a journey, and you feel comfortable sharing, let potential surrogates know what things you’re proud to have used your compensation on in the comments below ⬇️

Ladies, it’s Sunday and it’s “No Bra Day”, so don’t you even think about putting on a bra today.

While today might be a fun excuse to let loose (literally 🤣), it should also serve as a reminder of all the breast cancer survivors who may be unable to go without bras because they need them to hold their prostheses after surgery. It’s also your check to make sure you’re giving yourself monthly self-exams and have your next screening scheduled. It’s important to remember that most types of breast cancer can be treated if caught early.

This October make sure you keep those boo-bies safe! 👻

Mamas, why do we let our minds be so mean to us? 🫣

We let doubt creep in. We allow negativity to tell us false narratives. And we’re extra hard on ourselves when something slips our minds.

Truth is, as moms we’re juggling a lot. Actual daily tasks and high societal expectations.

The pressure of it all can make you start to believe you aren’t doing enough… or worse, you’re not good enough.

Don’t allow any of that B.S. to take up your mental space! Whenever a not-so-kind thought tries to weasel its way in, stop it in its tracks. 🛑 Repeat this reminder to yourself, “You’re doing your best and that’s enough.”

You’re an amazing mom. Please don’t let your mind make you believe otherwise. 🫶

A surrogacy journey can impact a surrogate’s life in SO MANY WAYS.

For Kelsey, the compensation from her journey helped her family buy a new vehicle, pay off old debt, and even purchase a work truck for her husband. Even though the compensation wasn’t why she became a surrogate, it was exciting for her and her family to decide what fun things to use it on.

Surrogacy also provided perks they never even expected. Kelsey says even though she and her husband have been together for more than 10 years, surrogacy helped them bond in a whole new way. They both learned a new appreciation for compassion and connection. (They’re relationship goals, for real!)

No one can Dad like you—and your child needs the special way that you parent.

Anyone can claim a title. But only you can tuck your child into bed YOUR special way. Only you can cuddle your child in YOUR special way. And only you can soothe your child in YOUR special way.

Everything you do is special… and it’s the little things that your kiddo will grow up to love and appreciate.

If you know a Dad who needs a little reminder of how special they are to their kids, please send them this!
