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.

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 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.

You know what is crazy? If you ask a surrogate the best part of a surrogacy journey, most will say it’s delivery day.
That’s when the parents get to meet their little one, and the emotions of the whole journey are really felt and seen. Even reminiscing about the moment can cause the flood of good emotions to come up again in the best possible way.
It’s an experience that is indescribable. If you’re lucky enough to be a part of something so beautiful, it truly sticks with you forever.

Some partners may be hesitant about the idea at first, but once they realize the incredible gift their partner is doing for someone else, their views shift and a lot of times they are just as excited to be a part of something so beautiful. 💕
📣 Surro-sisters, how did your partner react when you shared you wanted to be a surrogate? We want to hear the sweet and funny reactions in the comments ⬇️

🎉 Welcome Baby #13! 🎉
Another beautiful surrogacy journey has come full circle, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! 💖 Marissa, our amazing surrogate, has brought so much love and dedication to this incredible path. She and the Intended Parents matched in November 2023, and after a journey just shy of 14 months, their dream has now come true! 🌟
Baby has made a safe arrival and is already wrapped in endless love and joy. 🍼💛 Marissa, you’ve been a true superstar throughout this process, and we hope you’re taking time to relax and celebrate this amazing accomplishment. 👏💐
Join us in sending love and congratulations to Marissa and the new parents as they begin this exciting new chapter! 🌈✨

All the “mom things” were probably always within you. The infinite love…comfort…and support. They were always there, but it probably felt like you had nowhere to pour all that energy into.
That is until that sweet babe of yours was placed in your arms.
At that moment, all those things surfaced at a force greater than you’ve probably ever experienced. And just like that, you, as a mother, were simultaneously born alongside your child. 🥹

We’re sending love to everyone who was affected by the California wildfires. To all our surrogates, intended parents, and all the fertility clinics in the area, you are on our minds and hearts.
If you need help or have questions, especially about your journeys, our team is here for you. If you need support resources or are looking for ways to help those who were affected, please visit our Stories for more information.
Every agency handles matching a little differently, but at Surrogacy Is, our matching timeline looks like this:
Profile Creation
⬇️
Presenting the IPs with a Surrogate profile
⬇️
The Surrogate reviewing the IPs’ profile
⬇️
The IPs’ IVF clinic reviewing the Surrogate’s medical records
⬇️
Scheduling a match call
⬇️
24 hr for each side to make a decision
Our Matching Coordinators put a lot of time and effort into potential matches and go the extra mile (like having the IVF clinic review records before a match meeting) to prevent potential heartaches later.
To understand each step more, make sure to scroll through the timeline details in this post’s images ➡️

It’s true; 𝓈𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒𝓈, strangers can spot a father and his child because they share a similar nose or dimple.
But 𝓂𝑜𝓈𝓉 𝑜𝒻 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒 a father is spotted because of the admiration in his eyes after watching his little one. The love that pours out of him every time he embraces his child in a hug. And the fact that he shows up time after time for his kiddo. Those are the things that really matter in the end. Not the dimple. It’s the love.

When we saw this review come in from Kathryn, our hearts wanted to burst. 💗
We know our team puts their heart into everything they do because we can see it every day, but knowing that the surrogates and intended parents we work with are seeing it (and, more importantly, feeling it), too...that’s the ultimate dream come true. ✨

What motivates a surrogate to help another family is so much bigger than money—but that doesn’t mean that the compensation a surrogate receives doesn’t change her family’s life in a big way.
For many families, it’s a great way to feel more comfortable financially. With the compensation they receive for helping build someone else’s family, they’re able to pay off debts 💵, put money away for the future 🏦, go back to school without having to worry about working at the same time 📚, and so much more!
📣 What things would you cross off your wish list with compensation as a surrogate? Let us know in the comments below.

✨ What a magical year it’s been! ✨
Looking back on our first year as an agency- working with both surrogates and intended parents has filled us with profound gratitude. Through the dedication of our team, our amazing surrogates and wonderful intended parents, we`ve made some absolutely beautiful dreams come true!
In just one year, we’ve celebrated:
👶 12 beautiful babies born
💓 43 heartbeat confirmations
🤰 34 amazing pregnancies in progress
🤝 And 124 perfect & carefully considered matches
These aren`t just statistics—they`re dreams taking shape, connections being forged, and families growing in ways that remind us why we started this work and decided to become an agency ✨.
Thank you to everyone who`s been part of our story so far. We can`t wait to see what the next chapter brings!
As an intended parent, sometimes it can be hard to feel like your day of being a parent will ever come. If you’re currently on your journey and feeling a little down, try this: close your eyes and imagine you’re in a room watching yourself holding your sweet babe in your arms. Now imagine the future-parent-you looks up and sees you and comes over to give you a big, big hug. That hug represents all the hope you held on to in the uncertainty and the love you never let waver—and it’s your future self reassuring you that this moment is coming. This future moment will have been worth it. 🥹🫂

Do you have to be in a coupled relationship to become an intended parent? Absolutely not!
There are so many family units outside of surrogacy that only have one parent at home—so why should a single parent pursuing surrogacy be treated any differently?
As long as there is an abundance of love and support within a home, that’s all that matters 🫶

We`re thrilled to share another heartwarming surrogacy success, born on Christmas Eve- a holiday miracle nonetheless!
Our incredible surrogate Lael eagerly joined our agency for her second journey in April 2023 after previously completing her first journey with one of our partner agencies. She found her perfect match with her IPs in June 2023!
Every step has been filled with hope and great anticipation. We couldn`t be more proud of Lael and over the moon happy for these IPs. Join us in celebrating this precious new life and the incredible journey that made it possible!

You never know what reaction you might get when you share your desire to become a surrogate. Some people will get it. Others won’t.
Some might feel so strongly about it they won’t be able to hold back their opinions and others may literally burst out into tears because they are so moved.
It’s hard to predict, but Lael’s story is a great reminder that even though some of your friends and family might not get it at first, it doesn’t mean they won’t eventually come around.

Our hearts are full of joy as we announce yet ANOTHER arrival of a precious little one through the gift of surrogacy!
Surrogate Leah and her IPs found one another in September 2023 and they`ve shared an incredible journey together leading to this beautiful December delivery. 14 months later and delivery day arrived!
Baby has arrived safely and is already filling everyone`s hearts with love! We`re so proud of this beautiful team and their dedication throughout this journey. Here`s to the beginning of countless beautiful memories! 💫

That circle around you… you know, the one filled with the different people in your life who will help you out at a moment`s notice, offer an encouraging word when you feel down, and support you however they can so you can achieve your dreams.
That circle, those people…they’re your village.
Every parent needs their village—whether that’s when pursuing the path to parenthood or when you’re in the thick of parenting—because, truthfully, it can be exhausting. 🥱
Your village is made of the people who will step in and can contribute the other 80% when you feel like you only have 20% effort in you. They’ll let you lean on them until you’re back to 100%.
Having a loving and supportive village is special…not only for you but for your child, too. They get to experience that same overwhelming sense of being so cared for and loved by someone else.
Celebrate your village because it is so priceless. Take a moment today to let the ones in it know how appreciative you are that they are apart of yours. 💕

🎉 Welcome Baby #9! 🎉
We`re overjoyed to announce another beautiful surrogacy story! Our amazing surrogate Heather and intended parents C&M were matched and began their journey together in September 2023 and embarked on a remarkable 15-month journey that has led to this precious moment!
Prior to match IPs C&M started with us in August 2023 and quickly found Heather in less than 30 days! It`s incredible how quickly the perfect match can be found - another testament to our commitment to helping families grow.
Baby has arrived safely and is already surrounded by so much love! Join us in celebrating this special milestone and sending warmest wishes to both families! 💕

When surrogates are asked if they would do it again, most of them are quick to say an absolute YES! 💯
Some may even joke that surrogacy is addicting—but the truth is the feeling you get from surrogacy is hard to recreate, and that’s why many surrogates come back to it again or are passionate about being a part of the surrogacy community. It’s indescribable and a life-changing experience for everyone involved.

🎙 What Does the Future Hold for Surrogacy?
In today`s episode, we tackle the tough questions with Dean Masserman from Vorzimer Masserman Fertility and Family Law Center. 🌟
How could surrogacy change if embryos were legally considered people?
What happens if someone breaks a surrogacy contract?
Could birthright citizenship laws impact international intended parents?
With 30+ years of experience, Dean shares his insights on the evolving landscape of fertility law, the potential hurdles ahead, and why surrogacy in the U.S. remains strong despite challenges.
If you’re an intended parent, surrogate, or simply curious about the future of family building, this episode is a must-listen! 🎧 (podcast link in bio!)

As a mom, it’s so easy to wish for the next thing. You think, “Man, I can’t wait for my little one to start walking …. or start school….or start driving.” (It never goes away no matter how young or how old your kids are, BTW).
It’s great to look forward to the future but don’t let it stop you from appreciating the now.
Savor those sweet embraces while carrying your little one around. Enjoy the extra time with them before you have to share their attention with homework and friends. Relish in the moments you get to hear their chatter while chauffeuring them around. Those moments will be gone before you know it. And you’ll find yourself wishing for them back.
The future will be beautiful… but now is beautiful, too. So hang in there, mama, and squeeze in these moments while you can. 🫂

One of the perks of a surrogacy community is being able to ask experienced surrogates for their advice, especially when it comes to things you may never experienced before… like a transfer day!

Surrogates give their IPs the ultimate gift: a new baby to love for a lifetime. 🤗
Some IPs are so thankful they want to show their appreciation to their surrogate outside of her compensation. This could look like sending sweet gifts to her children or treating her to her current cravings. 😋
While gifts are never expected, a kind gesture from IPs can make a surrogate feel especially cared for and can help form a sweet bond between each side.
📣 Did you ever receive a gift from your IPs that you loved?
#SurrogacyIs #SurrogacyIsLove #SurrogacyIsAgency #Surrogacy #SurrogacyJourney #SurrogacyAgency #SurrogacyCommunity #SurrogacyStories #SurrogacyMisconceptions
"How can you feel a baby move around inside of you and not get attached?”
Like Andrea, a lot of surrogates just know they can do it. Before even committing to surrogacy, they’ve shifted their mindset to know this baby isn’t theirs and that they are doing something incredible for someone else.
One of the biggest misconceptions in surrogacy is that a surrogate will get attached to the baby—and for the majority of surrogates, that is just not the case.
📣 What other misconceptions did you have to clear up once you told your friends and family you were going to be a surrogate?

There’s just something about Dads… and not so much even Dads but the loving Dad energy anyone can have. You know the energy…
🛠️the triple-checking when setting up a toy to make sure everything is perfect
🤪 the willingness to do the silliest things just to see their child smile
💪 the resilience to give piggybacks even when they are exhausted and sore
This energy in a child’s life is unmatched. It helps shape them and shows them the power that their special love plays in their lives.
There’s something so special about it. If you have a Dad like this in your life or someone who embodies a Dad-figure in your life, send them this post as a special reminder of how much you appreciate having them in your life. 💞

But really really. It takes so many to make sure surrogates and intended parents are properly protected and supported. So many that refuse to cut corners or focus on someone as a number. But rather do it the right way not the easy way. So many that have been there themselves and want nothing but the best for everyone involved. Best matches, best journey, best possible outcome. That’s what we want for you.
There are so many rewarding and special moments a surrogate gets to experience with her IPs throughout their journey. This particular story from one of our founders, Casey, always touches our hearts. 💗

You never know how much becoming a mother will change you. In some ways, it feels like a new version of yourself is born at the same time as your child.
Motherhood brings new strength, new experiences, and a new type of love—a love like you’ve never known before.
✍️ While you’re juggling ways to take care of your own needs while also meeting your children’s needs, your priorities start to change.
🙌 When you’re battling with trying to comfort a colicky baby with no sleep, your resilience in moments you felt hopeless starts to shape you.
🫶 And the way you start to look at the world through your child’s eyes inspires you to be more accepting and loving toward others.
Motherhood will change you—but in the best possible way imaginable.

Moving to the matching stage in your surrogacy journey can be such an exciting time. If you’re a first-time surrogate, you may be eager to know exactly what to expect. 🤗
While every agency handles matching differently, our post today outlines exactly how we at Surrogacy Is handle matching. Scroll through the post to get an idea about the ins and outs of each step. ➡️
One of the most important things is making sure you work with an agency like ours that takes matching very seriously. Some agencies will present a surrogate a profile solely based on the goal of trying to cross a set of IPs off their list. This only benefits them. Matching shouldn’t be forced, and it should always be based on preferences and compatibility. This is the foundation of a beautiful surrogacy journey.
If you’d like to hear more about our matching process, let’s connect! 🤳

Surrogacy changes lives. Not only for the intended parents, but for the surrogate too.
