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.

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.
Many fly-by-night agencies (and even some long-established “dinosaur” agencies!) are more focused on collecting their fees than they are on helping people. They are competing for the same pool of potential surrogates and intended parents and they are great making a sale, but not so great at delivering service.
Surrogates and Intended Parents who fall for their alluring ads and false promises can end up having to fend for themselves after matching.


And that's where
we come in...


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!










A referral from us SAVES you dozens of HOURS and potential heartache.


Our short quiz will make sure you meet the deal-breaker requirements for any reputable agency, and it will also tell us which agencies you will qualify for and which ones you won’t.
While the basic guidelines are the same across the board, every agency is looking for certain types of candidates to match with their intended parents, and some have stricter BMI or Lifestyle requirements than others.
Your time is valuable and so are YOU!
See if you qualify to be a surrogate!

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 our first 3 years… 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 for the amazing moms who choose to be surrogates, and the hopeful parents-to-be that are waiting for 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 surrogates as we’d like… trust us… we’ve searched. And searched. And 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.

Intended parents do not typically have the same extensive set of requirements that surrogates do. However, that does not mean that they do not have requirements at all. Surrogates need to undergo thorough screenings to ensure they are physically and emotionally prepared for the journey. These screenings can include medical, psychological and background checks. 📑
Intended parents will be required to prove they have the legal capacity to enter into a surrogacy agreement. They will need to demonstrate their genuine intent and commitment to becoming parents through surrogacy, they will need to have proof they are financially stable and that they are capable of covering all costs associated with surrogacy.
They will also need to meet any and all legal requirements related to surrogacy in the jurisdiction they reside in, as well as meeting with healthcare professionals and a criminal background check. 🏛️
So while the requirements are quite different for Ips and surrogates, they are still there to ensure a safe journey for all parties involved.✨

In the realm of surrogacy, the number of embryos transferred is a carefully considered and deeply personal decision. It`s a pivotal moment where science and hope harmonize to build families.🩵
Many factors influence the decision, such as the age and health of the intended parents, the surrogate`s health, and the recommendations of fertility specialists. Most reproductive specialists recommend a single embryo transfer, emphasizing the importance of a healthy pregnancy for both surrogate and baby.
The embryo transfer embodies the dreams, love, and aspirations of all involved. It`s a profound moment that reflects the unique and intricate nature of every surrogacy journey.✨💜

🌟While it is totally normal to have these thoughts when you are first starting your surrogacy journey, it is important to remember who is in need of a surrogate.
Like Casey said, the parent(s) who are requiring the help of a surrogate, have longed for this child. whether they found out they needed a surrogate after suffering the trauma of infertility, or if they are a same sex couple who knew that they would need some extra help to have a biological child, they have spent countless hours pouring themselves into this process.
You can rest assured that when you start your journey, you are helping to create a family for someone who has made the long, hard decision to see this journey through to fruition! 🌈

But here`s the magic of it all – you`re doing an amazing job. Your love is a constant in this ever-shifting world. Through all the ups and downs, your unconditional love is the anchor, the guiding light that helps your children grow and thrive.
So, remember, it`s okay if motherhood looks different every day. Embrace the unpredictability, cherish the moments, and trust in the love you give. You`re an amazing mom, wearing those various hats with grace and an overflowing heart. 💖🌟

🌟We can’t stress this enough: Surrogates absolutely deserve to be compensated for their time, hard work, and risk. 🌟
Surrogacy is a journey that demands dedication, time, and emotional commitment. Surrogates go through a series of medical procedures, take hormone shots, attend numerous appointments, and undergo the life-changing experience of birth and postpartum. Their selflessness and generosity bring immense joy and complete families.
Compensation for surrogates is not just a financial matter; it’s a recognition of their sacrifices and the valuable role they play in creating families. It enables them to support their own families, cover expenses, and be financially secure during the journey.

✨In the fast-paced world we live in, it`s easy to get caught up in the constant hustle and bustle. But, remember that it`s perfectly alright to hit the brakes and take a moment for yourself. Life`s demands can be overwhelming, and it`s essential to prioritize your well-being.
Amidst the chaos, allow yourself the luxury of slowing down. Embrace the stillness, breathe deeply, and find solace in the present moment. Take a break from the never-ending to-do lists, the endless obligations, and the pressure to constantly achieve. Allow yourself the freedom to rest, recharge, and reconnect with what truly matters.💆♀️
Remember, Mama, that self-care is not selfish; it`s a necessity. By slowing down, you`re not only preserving your own mental and physical health but also setting an example for those around you. Teach your loved ones the importance of balance and self-love.
So, Mama, give yourself permission to take it easy. Embrace the power of slowing down and discover the beauty in finding peace amidst the chaos.💜

“Why don’t they just adopt?”
It’s a question that often arises, and while it may be well-intentioned, it oversimplifies the complexities of the adoption process. Adoption is not always easy, and for some families, it may not align with their desires or circumstances.
Instead of judging those who choose surrogacy, let’s embrace a more compassionate and understanding approach. Let’s encourage open-mindedness and empathy towards diverse paths to parenthood. Every individual’s journey is unique, and there should be no shame or judgment.
Surrogacy is a remarkable and awe-inspiring choice. It provides hope, joy, and the opportunity for families to be created in a special and meaningful way. Let’s celebrate the beauty and positivity that surrogacy brings into the lives of many. 🌈
