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!

Morgan & La’Phadra
Surrogate Advocate & Experienced Surrogate
We are true
surrogate advocates
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 content above has been updated to better fit our definition of what a surrogate advocate is. To see our original copy, click here.)
We understand
every surrogate is unique.
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.
Kristina
Experienced Surrogate
There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.
A smooth journey requires
the right professionals.
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.
We empower you to
design your journey.
Unlike going directly to any other agency, we have your best interest in mind from the jump. If we can’t meet what you’re looking for, we’re not afraid to tell you — but not just that, we’re equipped to help you find it through one of our trusted partner agencies!
Whether you find yourself fitting in perfectly with our program, or you choose one of our trusted partners, the agency will be responsible for communicating between attorneys, doctors, psychologists and others to make sure everyone is in the loop at all times so you don’t have to balance all the details.
What sets us apart
from others...
Our founders have been surrogates 2 and 3 times each, and have worked closely with dozens of agencies throughout their careers.
Our Surrogate Advocates, who are also experienced surrogates, know what it’s like to be in your position both as novice first time surrogates and with more experience.
We know what it’s like to pick an agency and wonder, “was that the right choice? Did I choose the right agency?”
Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know, so we’re here to help you decide, whether it’s our program, or one of the vetted agencies we partner with. You will land in a safe place with real people who will consider what you want out of your surrogacy journey, and help you get there.
We’ve been called “Surrogacy Doulas”… we think that fits us well!

Meet Our Founders...❤️
Sunshine Hanson
Founder, President, 3x Surrogate
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
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.

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 5 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.

As a surrogate, you carried their child, their dream, their miracle and birthed it into existence. That’s the gift 💝 not the baby.
That baby is SURROUNDED by love 💕 & goes home with its rightful parents (GC pov: postpartum recovery is gentler as a surrogate)
But you best know when people show up with hate and I’ll thoughts against family building that is grown from pure love… hands WILL be thrown 🥊

Throwback to our company cruise showcasing a crew of humans who work hard, support harder, and celebrate even harder 🥂✨

Parenting life, where every day is filled with moments of full-speed ahead (productiveness hits, you’re getting sh** done 🧹🪣🧸), then there’s too much going on at once (too many requests, energy & patience starts powering down 🪫), followed by dissociation (I’m gonna stay in this bathroom scrolling 🚽📱for as long as I can.)
Then sleep and repeat. Over and over again. 🔁
If you’re in that parenting life, may your coffee be strong ☕, but the love even stronger. 🫶

When your baby always felt like a dream, even the smallest things like feeding her can be a deeply emotional experience. 🥹🥹
These moments were once wishes we only held in our hearts, and now they’re coming true—day after day.
Surrogacy is a beautiful gift that lasts for years and years. The words “thank you” could never encompass the amount of gratitude for the special surrogates who are kind enough to make these moments a reality. 🫶

Families aren’t built in just one way & they never have been.
But so many people still fall into the lie of believing there’s only one “right” path.
✨ Intended parents deserve to grow their family however their story unfolds…through surrogacy, a long-awaited miracle pregnancy, adoption, IVF, or a mix of all the above.
Every journey is real. Every path is valid.
And every family deserves to get what they’ve been hoping for. 💕💕💕

The benefit package an agency offers can make a huge difference in your overall journey—and Surroacy Is has a benefits package that we are so proud of.
In this thoughtful episode, Sunshine and Casey talk about benefit packages and surrogacy compensation—including the misconceptions about whether surrogates “do it just for the money.” 💵
Together they unpack the questions like..
🤷♀️ Why is it that women are meant to believe they should be selfless?
🤷♀️Why is it so far-fetched to believe someone would feel the desire to do something incredible for another family—but also feel really excited about the financial possibilities their surrogacy compensation would mean for their life?
🤷♀️Why would anyone be expected to go through all this hard work, just for…fun?
Listen to this episode today, and then let us know what you think… “Do surrogates do it just for the money?” 🤔

My “OH SH#%” moment was when I met the founders @surrogacy.is and learned what an authentic, compassionate, and organized agency looked like led by people who truly and full heartedly 💖 cared about surrogates.
Now fast fwd ⏭️ 3 years and I’ve been working alongside them learning everyday what an incredible journey full of SUPPORT & LOVE 🫂 looks like!
And I’m ngl I 💯 feel a sense of FOMO. I realize, even though I had a beautiful connection with my IPs in my 1st journey & love them and surro babe deeply… I missed all the parts that made the process feel good and not scary. 🫣
So, what do you think!? 🤔 drop a YES 🙌 DO IT 👏 COMMENT if you think I should jump 🚢 onto journey #2!

PSA: Calling a gestational carrier a ‘surrogate mom’ is like calling your barista a ‘coffee parent.’
Cute, but… not accurate 😅
I’m the carrier, not the keeper. Their bun, my oven. The extreme babysitter who hands the kid back every time.
There’s no biological link here—just science, support, and a whole lot of snacks.
Let’s keep the language respectful AND correct ✨

Surrogate Guide Feature: Legal Clearance Stage
Caption: The legal stage can feel intimidating 😫…but guess what? It doesn’t have to be. 🤗
📑We know legal documents are filled with jargon that can feel overwhelming. We also know that the surrogacy contract holds a lot of importance in your surrogacy journey, which may bring up feelings of “Crap, I HAVE TO make sure I don’t mess this up.”
But you got this. 💪The Legal section in our Ultimate Surrogacy Guide will help ease your nerves around the legal process and help you with tips on what to look for and what things to consider.
Our free guide goes through every process of a surrogacy journey so you know exactly what to expect and can feel confident in every stage.
👉Need access? It’s simple.
If you’re currently a surrogate with our agency, ask your JC for access.
If you’re just starting, take our qualifying quiz at surrogacy.is/life-changing-quiz (or find the link in our Linktree). Afterward, you’ll get an email with access!
✨Our guide is unlike any other. It’s always free and was created by surrogates for surrogates. It’s packed with PDFs, videos, and real advice from experienced surrogates who just want to make sure you have the tools you need to have an informed and empowered journey! ✨

My children are living proof that love multiplies.
Surrogacy has taught us all so much: that family is built on heart, not just biology, and that love isn’t limited—it grows, stretches, and surrounds everyone it touches.
Watching my surro-baby showered in love by her amazing dads has been one of the most beautiful lessons in love, equality, and joy I could ever share with my kids 🌈💖
Every moment, every cuddle, every shared smile reminds us that motherhood isn’t just about raising your own kids—it’s about raising hearts, teaching empathy, and celebrating the magic of family in all its forms ✨

Imagine this: you’re having a crummy day 😩, but then out of nowhere, a stranger compliments your outfit. 💃 Now you feel a little lighter, right? Perhaps it even inspires you to hold the door for that mom trying to juggle her bags and her toddler. This small act makes her day and inspires her to do something kind for someone else. ➡️And so on. ➡️And on. ➡️And on. ➡️
The domino effect of small acts of kindness can extend far and wide. So, how many small acts of kindness can you fit in today…how many ripples can you put out into the world?!

Our sweet co-founder Casey had a very busy—but fulfilling week last week! She attended both the SeedTrust 10 year anniversary before the SEEDS conference and a BabyQuest Luncheon. 🤗
At both events, Casey had the wonderful opportunity to connect with industry professionals and dedicated family-building experts.
🌱 At the SeedTrust celebration, she was able to join our professional community in honoring SeedTrust’s 10-year anniversary and their continued hard work to improve the ethical practices around escrow services so families don’t have to worry about fraud during their journeys.
👶 At the BabyQuest Foundation’s Giving Hope Luncheon, she was able to hear about the important grants and opportunities that help parents build the family of their dreams.
Attending these events not only helps Casey (and our team) stay informed in the industry, but it also helps expand the passionate and loving community of professionals we’re honored to know and work alongside. 💜💜💜
Including…the @seedtrustescrow team | Lisa Bryant & Lynn Levitan, founders & attorneys @thebabylawyers | Dr. Sadaf from @embrahealth | Karen Estrada, Director US @gestacy | the team at @babyquestgrants | Julie Allgood and Nicole Lawson, co-owners of @abcsurrogacy | Marly Steinman Parisot, Intended Parent Consultant and owner of Surrogacy by Marly @marlysparisot

Do women become surrogates just for the compensation? 🤔
Hear Sunshine and Casey discuss this common belief/question in our upcoming episode in our “Misconceptions Series”.
🤭👉(Spoiler alert: We truly believe no one should have to go through all that surrogacy entails—shots, swollen noses, and super uncomfiness—just for fun.)
Get ready to hear the full discussion on why it’s absolutely okay for a surrogate to say that compensation was a motivator for her—and why she should never feel guilt about that! 🫶

Surrogacy doesn’t take away from my kids. It teaches them love, empathy, and generosity 💞
And while I help advocate for helping others who struggle with infertility, who have fought through cancer, who are breaking family building norms and growing their pride parenthood journeys…
I get to not only hold the power to say, “I helped make that dream come true” but I also get to save for their futures and our present lives by doing so.

Surrogacy isn’t “purchasing a woman.”
It’s women choosing to help create families in a deeply intentional and (when choosing the right agency like @surrogacy.is) it’s an ethical process.
It’s science, consent, love, and partnership… not fear and narrative.
People speak loudest from where they’re uninformed.
Surrogates aren’t victims. Intended parents aren’t villains. Babies aren’t merchandise.
They are families being built with love, choice, and courage.

To all the transgender parents and to all the parents of transgender children ✨YOU ARE AMAZING ✨Truly.
💜To the transgender parents who are leading with courage, teaching by example what it means to listen to your inner voice and honor your true self—while still showing up with love and compassion for those around you (even when you aren’t fully understood)—we see you, and we celebrate you.
💜To the parents of transgender kids who are choosing love over fear, respecting your child’s truth, and showing them that their worth isn’t defined by an assigned gender but by the light they carry within—you are changing the world one act of acceptance at a time. We see you, too, and we honor the love you give.
Today, we want to applaud and send love to both kinds of parents. Every day, you remind us that parenting in its purest form is about authenticity, bravery, and unconditional love, but today especially, we hope you realize how important that reminder really is. 🫶👏🫶👏

Building your precious family looks different to everyone, and our founder, Sunshine, said it best: at the end of it all, getting a baby into the loving arms of a parent who is going to love them is all that matters. 🫂
All paths to parenthood are important. This National Adoption Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the families who choose to build their families through adoption. 👏👏👏
Sometimes people try to pit surrogacy and adoption against each other, but why should one path be viewed better than the other? 🤷♀️🤷♂️Sometimes adopting makes the most sense, and sometimes surrogacy does. There is no wrong or right way to become a parent—and we will celebrate whatever decision you choose. 🫶

If you’re a Mark Surrogacy Surrogate, we want to help you on your healing journey.
Along with Joey from @counseling_with_joey, we’re sponsoring up to 3 counseling sessions for any incredible women who were affected by this unethical agency and now need a safe space to express and process their feelings so they can move forward towards healing.
In these sessions, you will be met exactly where you’re at, so you can get exactly what you need out of your healing sessions. Whether that’s identifying your complex feelings over the situation, wanting to regain control of your surrogacy story, or rebuilding your sense of trust.
These confidential sessions are a judgment-free zone offered at no cost to provide comfort and loving community to those who didn’t deserve to have Mark Surrogacy taint their surrogacy experience in this way.
If you are interested in our sponsored sessions, please fill out an interest form in our linktree!
If you know a surrogate who would benefit from these sessions, please share this information with them.

Make it make sense: why do some agencies onboard new intended parents when they have 100 parents already ahead of them waiting for a surrogate? ⁉️
It doesn’t make sense to us, and we as an agency refuse to conform to those practices. It’s just not fair to intended parents…and they deserve better.
