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! Each of our Surrogate Advocates are experienced surrogates themselves. Our Journey Coordinators have years of experience under their belts, and bring unique skills to the table such as a background in Social Work, Midwifery, and Mental Health. Our team is committed to providing wrap around support for parents and surrogates on this once in a lifetime journey.
And the best part is...
advocating for surrogates benefits everyone.

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
Sunshine is fiercely independent, pragmatic and resourceful. As a teen mom, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in English Education from CSULB and went on to teach High School English, empowering students who needed to feel seen and heard by teaching them the art of written expression.
It was the example of a friend that inspired Sunshine to go out on a limb and try something as “crazy” as surrogacy and it absolutely changed her life for the better.
Sunshine has helped to bring four babies into the world, completing two families, across two continents, not including her own!
Now she is using her passion and experience to advocate for and support women in realizing their dreams of creating the most beautiful life they can for their families.
Casey Bojorquez
Founder, Vice President, 2x Surrogate
Everyone needs a mama, and at Surrogacy Is… that mama is Casey.
Casey Bojorquez is a big-hearted wife, mama, two-time surrogate, Co-Owner and Vice President of Surrogacy Is,. . . which really means she’s the go-to lady for anything and everything related to surrogate connection and community.
Casey joined forces with Sunshine and Kyle at the end of 2020 with the goal of providing a more comprehensive surrogate outreach and community focus to the company. Since the start of the partnership, she’s helped steer the direction of Surrogacy Is… to create a space where surrogates are truly advocated for and supported—every step of the way.
When Casey’s not making waves for surrogates, she can be found spending time with her family, at the beach or on another adventure finding a great hiking trail!
Kyle Hanson
Founder, CEO, CMO, Husband to 3x Surrogate
(that counts, right?)
Kyle is our OG surrogate-skeptic-turned-unashamed-cheerleader at Surrogacy Is…
He’s a dedicated father, husband, and ‘wizard behind-the-curtain’ of everything you see at Surrogacy Is. Motivated, logical, and hardworking, Kyle loves knowing how his team is making a difference every day.
As he’ll often share, he initially thought his wife, Sunshine, was crazy when she first said she wanted to be a surrogate. . . but after seeing the impact of surrogacy and the lives that were truly being changed, he was on board. And since then, has tirelessly helped build a company at advocates for the most integral part of surrogacy—the surrogates.
Kyle recently moved from San Diego to just outside of Savannah, Georgia with his incredible wife, Sunshine, their daughter, Jasmine, and their dogs, Dee Dee and Adora. When he’s not putting out fires, answering emails, or jumping on Zoom calls, he can be found trying to plan a “little party” or cruising the saltwater rivers of the Low Country. Despite now living in The South, he’s only said “y’all” once.
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.
We’re like your experienced surrogate best friend, who can guide you through this process… w/ no pressure ever.
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.

📣 September is PCOS Awareness Month. Do you know enough about the condition to understand your risks? 🤔
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility (when you’re not ovulating or releasing an egg). For many, it can cause heartbreaking struggles when trying to build a family.
Some of the most common PCOS symptoms include infertility, irregular periods, acne, unwanted facial and body hair, and hair loss. Other side effects can be carb cravings, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, anxiety, and depression.
While PCOS can’t be cured, a medical professional can help manage your symptoms and help you reduce your chances of complications.
For those with PCOS who are feeling overwhelmed with their diagnosis, dealing with symptoms every day, struggling with fertility, and feeling completely alone... we see you. PCOS might be part of your story, but it doesn’t have to be your whole story. 🫶

Surrogates can’t help but be phenomenal gift-givers. I mean, they do give the greatest gift of all… a new baby to a deserving family!
But even before the big day (delivery day, that is!), many surrogates want to help their intended parents feel more connected to the journey so many might send a sweet gift.
We asked our team what some of their favorite gifts are to send to IPs...here`s what they said:
✨ A pregnancy memory box
✨Belly buds so surro-baby can listen to his/her parents’ voices
✨Framed ultrasound photos
✨Personalized jewelry or keepsakes with baby’s name
✨A lovey with the baby’s heartbeat
✨A belly charm necklace. This is a long necklace a surrogate can wear during pregnancy to make little chimes throughout the day that the baby can hear in the womb. Once the baby is born one of the parents can wear the charm so the baby will hear the same comforting sound.
If you’ve been on a journey before, what gifts did you send your IPs to include them in on the fun? Or if you were an IP what gifts did you find extra special from your surrogate? Share all your gift ideas with us in the comments below ⤵️

A common response a lot of women get when they share with their friends and family that they want to be a surrogate is, “Why would you want to do that…for someone else?”
It’s true. Being a surrogate means putting your body through a lot. It means carving out time in your already busy schedule. It means putting some things on hold. It can even mean gaining a few dozen pounds. BUT it can also mean…
💜 Giving someone the same joy and love you feel for your own child.
💜 Adding a new baby to a family, so not only can the parents shower them with love but so can all the grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and extended family.
💜 Feeling such a sense of accomplishment for yourself (as a surrogate) for the incredible, selfless act that will live on far beyond you.
For a lot of us surrogates, it all feels worth it. And most of the time when we explain it to our loved ones in that way, they get it too. It’s just hard not to.

Don’t get us wrong, the compensation is a huge motivator for a lot of women when they decide to become a surrogate, but wanting to help another family is probably the biggest factor of it all.
The compensation can be a huge blessing to a surrogate’s family, but it’s usually not the thing that pops into her mind while she’s doing her IVF shots. Or when she’s up in the middle of the night with heartburn. And it’s definitely not what she’s thinking about when she’s delivering that new baby. She doesn’t stop in those moments to tell herself, “This will all be worth it because of the [𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙘𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚] I’ll get.”
It’s almost always, “𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮.”

Yes, it’s true! One of the main surrogacy requirements is that a woman has had at least one uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery. But why? 🤷♀️
To put it simply: In surrogacy, the goal is to reduce as many risks as possible. This is for the safety of the potential surrogate, the future surro-baby, and for the IPs who have invested so much into the process.
If a woman has had her own children then the doctors can use her records to get an idea of how her body has handled pregnancies and how birth went for her. They can use those as clues for what they might be able to expect in a surrogacy pregnancy and birth.
If a woman hasn’t had a pregnancy and birthed a child, there is no way of knowing how her body may handle everything involved in a surrogacy journey—and the risk would just be too great—for everyone.
Imagine this: you’re getting ready to skydive out of a plane (just go along that this is something you might do, okay 🤣) and you can either tandem jump with an experienced skydiver or you can jump with someone who hasn’t ever done it before, but thinks they could figure it out. Which one are you choosing?
🪂
🪂
🪂
You`re picking the experienced skydiver, right?
The newbie jumper might have done just fine, but you wouldn’t really chance it would you? It’s exactly the same with surrogacy.
So, if you’re an experienced skydiver… I mean woman, who has had easy pregnancies and deliveries and has thought about becoming a surrogate, take our short quiz today to see if you qualify: surrogacy.is/life-changing-quiz

For an intended parent, it can be so disheartening when a match breaks. So if this has happened to you, know we’re sending you virtual love. 🫶
As hard as it can be for both sides, when a match breaks it’s usually for the best. For whatever reason, the match just wasn’t meant to be and instead of ignoring something and trying to continue on, it’s actually really brave for both sides to mutually agree to walk away from one another. A lot of times this is just the universe’s way of redirecting you to someone else who can help your dream of having a baby come true.
While it can be hard to start all over again, we hope you take comfort in knowing that a broken match is just a small bump in your road to becoming parents. You’re still on the right path. Your destination is still in view and it`s always better in your journey to pull over to the side of the road and repair your tire than try to continue on with a flat. Once everything has been repaired, the ride will be easier and more enjoyable. So don’t give up! 🚫

When you’re in that beginning matching phase for your surrogacy journey, it can be a lot like dating (weird analogy, I know, but hear me out). 🤣
Just like in dating, before you dive into meeting anyone you want to ask yourself:
🤔 “What do I hope this relationship looks like?”
🤔“What’s my ideal communication?”
🤔“What are my preferences for a match?”
Then it’s okay (actually it’s encouraged!) to share your feelings on these. Because if you’re hoping to form a lifelong friendship with a surrogate/or IPs, you won’t have a great journey with someone who only wants to communicate about the big stuff. Neither preference is wrong or bad, it just wouldn’t be the right fit for either side to work together.
Things shouldn’t feel forced. You shouldn’t feel like you have to settle (See that works for dating and matching!)
Our Matching Coordinators take the time to listen to all your preferences, especially about the kind of relationship you’re hoping to have with your potential IPs/or surrogate. Then we work hard to find someone looking for something similar so we can introduce everyone to each other.
The important thing is when both sides go into a journey with the same hopes and expectations, the relationship that forms can be such a beautiful thing. 🥰🥰🥰

It’s easy to tell yourself that some of the big things in your life won’t seem that big to others, and therefore it’s not worth sharing. But don’t dim your light, Queen!
You’re right some people may not care that after working on it all month, your little one can now blow his nose by himself 🤧 Or that your oldest has emptied her lunchbox from their backpack all week without you having to remind her 🎒 But the right community… they’ll cheer you on for the big, the small, and everything in between.
The things that make you proud (however small) are worth celebrating. So brag about it if you want. Text your friends so they can give you an “🩷“ or “👏”. Post it on social or simply let your family know how great you think their accomplishments are. It makes a difference and it’s worth finding something good in your every day.
So… what small victory are you celebrating today? Let us know in the comments and our community will celebrate with you!

Some women have such amazing pregnancies and deliveries that even though they know they don’t want any more children, they still want to feel that empowering process of growing and delivering a baby… even if it’s for someone else!
That’s what has motivated Andrea to be a surrogate multiple times now and it’s what makes her consider doing it again. (Dang, you go, girl!)
The compensation was also really appreciated by her and her family. They used it to pay off some debt and to put money aside for their children and their future plans.
Surrogacy is the best in so many different ways. If you’re like Andrea, and are interesting in learning more, take a qualifying quiz at surrogacy.is/life-changing-quiz

As women, it’s easy to ignore certain aches or annoyances in our bodies. We tell ourselves, “Yeah, this has been bothering me for a while now but if I can just get through this project at work (or insert any other family task here) then I’ll try and get it checked out.”
But ladies, we have to stop doing that to ourselves.
This month is Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month and every five minutes a woman is diagnosed with one of the five gynecologic cancers. So today, we’re interrupting your social feed to remind you to prioritize your health. You never know when it could save your life.
Learn the symptoms (see additional slides), listen to your body, and make the most of your checkups with your doctor. Do yourself a favor and schedule your well woman’s exam this month if you haven’t yet.

As a surrogate, one of the most important parts of your journey is the parents you get to “team” up with. So yes, you absolutely get a say in who you want to work with. 🥰
During the matching process, our Matching Coordinator works hard to determine the best potential matches based on both the surrogate and the intended parents` personalities and preferences. She’ll share potential matches one at a time and a surrogate always gets a say on whether or not she would like to move forward with a match call. When a match call is set up, both sides have 24 hours to decide if the fit felt right or not. If the vibes are off, there are no hard feelings. Our Matching Coordinator will use whatever feedback you have after a call to look for the next potential match. (Note: Other agencies may work a little bit differently).
When it comes to matching, it’s always best not to force anything. Most surrogates say they knew they wanted to work with their IPs because they could feel it in their heart that they were the family they were meant to help.
For any surrogates who’ve been there before, how did you choose your IPs? Let us know in the comments below. ⤵️

We’re celebrating again at our agency 🤗 You know what that means... Baby #5 has arrived! 🥳💜Baby is cozying up with her sweet parents and doing well. Baby has brought so many smiles and so much love already. 💗💗
Her rockstar surrogate, Stephanie has been relaxing and resting after delivery. We hope she`s kicking her feet up and patting herself on the back for a job well done. She deserves it! 👏👏👏 Both families are so excited for this next chapter in their lives.
Stephanie first connected with SI in May, 2023. IPs started their journey AND they all officially matched in the same month of August, 2023! So their journey was a little over a year long (12 months, 4 days, to be exact). How amazing is that?! 🤯🥹🙌
Join us in sending love to Stephanie, the new parents, and Baby #5. We’re so glad to celebrate this magnificent milestone with all of you—and we can’t wait to hear updates!

Here at Surrogacy Is, we understand grief can feel isolating, but don’t forget you don’t have to go through this alone. It’s okay to not feel okay. And when you feel like you need someone to talk to, know there is a community behind you that knows what you are going through and can offer their support.
So to all those who are navigating through the ebbs and flows of grief, we see you. We’re here for you. Your feelings matter. Your stories matter. As a community, we can embrace the healing power of sharing and supporting one another—not only through the good times but through the times of sadness as well. 🫂

A failed transfer can bring up a lot of emotions. 🙁
We know everyone was super hopeful that everything would work out perfectly, and when it doesn’t it’s easy to start asking yourself what things could have been done differently that might have resulted in a better outcome. That’s fair.
But even when a transfer procedure goes absolutely perfect, there’s still only a 40-60% chance that it’ll be successful. A surrogate can do everything in her power to help. She can lay with her legs up in the air for an hour (we don’t recommend this, BTW) or eat a large McDonald’s fries 🍟 (we do recommend this, BTW) and for whatever reason it still just might not stick.
It’s no one’s fault. But if you do have concerns, it’s important to discuss them openly with your clinic, agency, and lawyer so they can help ease your concerns or let you know what your next options may look like.

Did you know our founder, Sunshine’s family did not understand surrogacy when she started to pursue becoming a surrogate? They didn’t even really support it. Even though Sunshine’s family felt like this, she knew in her heart she was being called to gift someone’s family with a child that would change their lives. Change their extended family’s lives. And would have a positive impact on the world. For her, that was enough to dive into her surrogacy journey even if everyone around her didn’t understand it.
Not everyone will understand or support your surrogacy journey, but you get to decide who you want to bring along for the ride. And we suggest you save those spots for the ones who will cheer loudly for you and your amazing efforts. If you need to add to your cheering section, Surrogacy Is and our community is always here rooting for surrogates like you!

Do surrogates get into surrogacy just for the money? No.
Can the compensation be a reason she decides to do it? ABSOLUTELY!
Most surrogates will tell you that after being a parent themselves, they knew they wanted to help someone experience that same love they feel for raising their child.
Most surrogates will also tell you that surrogacy compensation largely impacted their family`s lives and helped them with goals they may not have been able to achieve otherwise. Like putting a down payment on a new house, starting a business, or paying off debt.
Both things can be true. And neither one takes away from the impact or importance of the other. 😁

If going through pregnancy and labor wasn’t kind enough, some surrogates are even willing to pump for their surro-babe. (Some aren’t, and that’s okay too! 👌)
Establishing a pumping routine as a surrogate can look a little different than if you were a birthing mother—the biggest difference is that you don’t have a baby around to keep your body on schedule and to encourage milk production. In this post, we’re sharing our pro tips to help you prepare and create a pumping plan to make pumping postpartum as a surrogate easier.
Surro-sisters, do you have any pumping tips you like to share? Or have any questions about pumping? Drop everything in the comments and let’s chat!

When your best friend is hard on herself, you’re probably the first one to remind her of how amazing she is, right? You probably point out all the things she is doing well in her life and you’re quick to give her the love and encouragement she needs to feel better.
So let me ask you something… why is that so hard for us to do that for ourselves? 🤔
When you feel that negativity creeping in about the things you should have done better, take a moment and ask yourself, “What would I tell my best friend if she was in this same situation?”
Then treat yourself the same as you would your friend. Even if you don’t feel like it, you deserve the same kindness. And remember to give yourself grace because you are doing so much! 🫶

Behind every husband who first says no to surrogacy is a woman who has an unwavering call within her heart and a determination to find out more information so he can feel more informed. 📚
A lot of times after receiving all the information he understands why it’s so important to her. He even becomes excited and helps cheer her on along with their children. At the end of the journey, the whole family is in awe of how amazing, strong, and selfless their mom is.
If you’d like more information about surrogacy so you can have a conversation with your husband, take the short quiz at surrogacy.is/life-changing-quiz afterward, someone from our Surrogacy Advocacy Team will reach out and connect with you!

Today on National Rainbow Babies Day we celebrate all the precious miracles that blessed their families after a storm. 🌈👶
Rainbow babies are the babies that are born after a loss. For their families, they are the daily reminders of all the love and hope that came before them. Today we celebrate these precious rainbow babies but we also hold space and honor the sweet souls that were lost before.
We know for parents this day can be both joyous and sad. You can feel happy because of the baby snuggling up next to you, but it’s still heartbreaking to remember the one who could have been. That’s okay. 💔
Personally, we believe these babies’ spirits helped bring your rainbow baby to you and we hope that provides a little bit of comfort knowing these sweet angels are still very much a part of your loving family. 👼
Sending you all so much love today!

Surrogacy is FAMILY. 👨👩👦👦👨👨👦👩👧👧👩👩👦👨👧
A surrogacy journey is something that impacts a whole family, not just the woman being a surrogate and the intended parents.
For a surrogate’s kids, seeing their mom do something that changes someone else’s life forever, in the best possible way, means she gets some serious cool points in their eyes. Which, let’s be honest, depending on how old your kids are, cool points can be hard to come by. 🤣
Being a surrogate also shows your kids first-hand what it’s like to be compassionate and what it means to do something bigger than yourself. 🦸♀️
If you were a surrogate before, what did your kids think of you being a surrogate? Let us know in the comments.

Did you know just like there are requirements to become a surrogate, there are requirements to become an intended parent too?
Many agencies will ask that intended parents have a relationship with a reputable fertility clinic and have undergone a criminal background and a financial, legal, and psychological consultation to confirm they are prepared for the unique processes and emotions of third-party family building. Just like surrogate screenings help give intended parents peace of mind about who they are working with, surrogates also appreciate the peace of mind they receive when agencies screen intended parents.
When working with a trustworthy agency, both sides can feel good going into their surrogacy journey.
If you’re an intended parent looking to start your journey, we’d love to chat about how our agency can help you. We provide a 90-day match guarantee and never require a deposit to work with us. We’re committed to helping you and your biggest dream come true. Start your journey today by visiting: surrogacy.is/for-intended-parents

If you’ve never had to wish for a child of your own, it’s probably hard to imagine exactly how that might feel, but if you’re an intended parent you know that ache all too well. ❤️🩹
At Surrogacy Is, we know how big that ache can get with time. That’s why we want to help all intended parents on their journey to filling that missing portion of their heart—faster. In fact, we’re time-stamping it. Our team will work tirelessly to find you that perfect surrogate in 90 days… or less. Why? Because we believe every parent who yearns for a child of their own shouldn’t have to put a huge deposit down just to sit on a wait list for years. ⏳
Your heart is been through enough. We want you to become one of the many intended parents that gets to hold their new baby in their arms and say, “𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒’𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓅𝒾𝑒𝒸𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉’𝓈 𝒷𝑒𝑒𝓃 𝓂𝒾𝓈𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑔. 𝐹𝒾𝓃𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 𝓎𝑜𝓊’𝓇𝑒 𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒”. 💝

This month’s staff superstar spotlight is… Dessiré, our wonderful and dedicated paralegal! ✨
Dessiré is a significant member of the Surrogacy Is team. When she’s not focused on reviewing contracts to help make sure surrogates are taken care of and all the promised benefits are accurately reflected, you might find her on a running trail training to add another half marathon to her record (she’s already completed three!), in the kitchen trying out a new recipe, or going on adventures with her husband, Matt and their lively two fur-babies. 🏃♀️🧑🍳🐕
One of Dessiré’s favorite parts of her job is seeing the baby photos after a journey is complete. It makes everything she does feel so rewarding!
Help us show Dessiré some love for everything she does for Surrogacy Is. Give this post a “🩷 “ of drop something sweet for her to read in the comments.

Those stinkin’ injectable hormones—they are every surrogate’s least favorite part of the journey. 💉
While you’re in that part of your med cal, it can feel like you’ll be on them forever but really it’s just 8-12 weeks. Which, yes, we know still feels like a long time 😂 BUT once you get through that stage it is such a badge of honor. You did this really hard thing. This thing that was not fun and something you probably dreaded every single time… but you did it! And you did for someone else.
That’s pretty incredible. YOU’RE 👏 PRETTY 👏INCREDIBLE 👏
So if you’re worried about having to take injectable hormones, don’t worry you got this. If you’re in the middle of taking them, keep up the great work, girlfriend. If you finished them, you’re an absolute rockstar!
You have the whole surrogacy community behind you cheering you on!

When you’re on the journey to parenthood as an intended parent it can sometimes make you feel pretty powerless. You have to give up so much control and so much is out of your hands. All you can do is hope for the best. But you do. You have so much hope. And there’s SO MUCH power in that.

When you’re a surrogate, you give up 9 months—ok, realistically maybe more like a year if you factor screening, matching, and everything else in—but a little over one year of your life to help another family have a child. For that family (and we mean the whole family... grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc), you’re giving them a lifetime of love with this precious new child. 👪👨👩👦👨👨👦👩👧👨👦👨👩👧👦👩👩👦👦
That tradeoff is undeniable. Isn’t it so special that surrogates can give that? 🥹💕
