Sunshine Hanson

Founder & President
3x Surrogate

On a mission to take the mystery out of surrogacy.

Sunshine Hanson is a driven and pragmatic mama, 3x gestational surrogate, and co-founder of Surrogacy Is alongside her amazing husband, Kyle. (And, as you may have guessed, her story is just as unique as her ever-changing hair!)

Sunshine was a high school English teacher when she embarked on her first surrogacy journey, and she soon discovered that what the experience was lacking was both advocacy and direction.

After working for two very different agencies—she realized that every agency (like every surrogate!) is unique, but some agencies are decidedly better than others!

That’s where Surrogacy Is first began.

Built on the foundations of intention and community, Sunshine and Kyle brought Surrogacy Is to life and soon partnered with Casey Bojorquez to create the team and mission that’s thriving today.

Sunshine currently lives in Georgia with her family. When she’s not guiding surrogates and sharing pieces of her story online, she can be found floating in the pool with her daughter or trying a new spot for brunch in Savannah!

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, and both 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 shifted the entire direction of Surrogacy Is and created 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 trying a new hiking trail!

Kyle Hanson

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

Skeptic-turned-unabashed-surrogacy-cheerleader 📣 at Surrogacy Is…

Kyle Hanson is a dedicated father, husband, and ‘wizard behind-the-curtain’ of everything you see at Surrogacy Is. Motivated, logical, and hardworking, Kyle is the original surrogate-skeptic-turned-biggest-advocate (and we love him for it!).

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, he has tirelessly helped build a company that advocates for the integral part of surrogacy—the surrogates.

Kyle lives in Georgia with his incredible wife, Sunshine, their daughter, Jasmine, and their dogs, Dee Dee and Adora. When he’s not putting out tech fires, creating automations, or jumping on Zoom calls with the team, he can be found telling jokes (that rarely land), on a boat cruising coastal Georgia rivers with his family or playing the drums on any available surface.

Marin Boggs

Surrogacy Program Director

Marin is a full of energy type of gal with a passion for building families through surrogacy. Her heart is happy being a part of the surrogacy journeys from the first call from an intended parent to the birth of the baby…and always enjoys visiting at delivery for those baby snuggles. Finding the right match for both the surrogate and intended parent is what gives her the most joy and fulfillment in her role as the Surrogacy Program Director.

Marin’s background previous to surrogacy was working as a recruiter/headhunter which also allowed her to do what she loves best and meet and talk to people around the world. She joined the industry years ago with a family friend and worked her way into a Director position. She has also worked on the IFV clinic side with egg donors, surrogates, and parents.

She feels a personal connection to both the surrogates and parents due to her own struggle with fertility which lead her to the adoption of her son Aden. Seven years later she was blessed with her own pregnancy of her daughter Amelia. She was a single mother for more than seven years before meeting her soulmate and Fiancé Mike who has completed her little family.

When Marin isn’t busy on video calls meeting intended parents and making the perfect match… her nickname has been the “Matchmaker” you can find her on the soccer field as her kids biggest fan! If not on the field, she could be found in the mountains exploring dirt roads and connecting with nature.

Breana Jaeger

Operations Manager
2x Experienced Surrogate

Breana is as much a dedicated professional as she is a family-loving mama. She’s a two-time surrogate, a wife, and a mom to two boys, plus her troublemaking puppy Copper who’s almost like a third child.

Breana started her family young and soon realized she could help others become parents too. Her journey as a surrogate in 2013 and 2016 was a deeply rewarding experience that led her into the surrogacy field professionally. She began at an agency, working her way up from intake to become a supervisor, thanks to her commitment and hard work.

Her passion for surrogacy led her to take on a new challenge as an Operations Manager at a busy fertility clinic. Seeking a more hands-on role, she eventually moved into the medical side as an IVF coordinator. For three fulfilling years, she was directly involved in the process of assisted reproduction, deepening her appreciation for surrogacy.

Outside of work, Breana cherishes her time with family. Whether it’s a peaceful day tubing on the river or a dusty trail ride on the quads in the desert, she enjoys making memories with her boys and Copper. Breana embodies a wonderful balance of professional dedication and a joyful family life.

Vanessa Bowman

Surrogate Advocate
Experienced Surrogate

Vanessa has been married to her high school sweetheart for 11 years. She is a momma to 2 amazing kiddos and 3 fur babies. 

At a very young age, Vanessa knew she wanted to become a mother and this quickly became the most important part of her life when she delivered her daughter as a teen mom. After being able to conceive and deliver her children so easily, she started hearing more and more stories of other people who were struggling to get pregnant or unable to successfully carry to full term. This absolutely broke her heart.

In 2013, at a Thanksgiving dinner, her aunt introduced her to the idea of surrogacy by sharing stories of her 3 journeys. This is what would lead to a beautiful delivery of twin boys in 2016. The ending was absolutely perfect with the boys being born on Father’s day to their wonderful daddies! Vanessa has always dreamed of being able to help another family, but life has other plans and she has not completed another journey – yet! She absolutely adores helping other women through the process as a Surrogate Advocate and staying involved by attending local meet-ups and being active in facebook groups.

In her free time, she enjoys going to the lake, antique hunting with her daughter, watching Netflix and going on adventures with her husband!

She freebirthed her second daughter in 2018 and immersed herself into birth work shortly after as a Birth + Postpartum Doula to support other women having informed birth experiences. In 2021, she decided to pursue surrogacy and matched with an amazing family. She birthed their baby boy in March 2023 and immediately knew she’d happily do it all over again. In the meantime, she found herself wanting to stay involved in the surrogacy world and found her tribe at Surrogacy Is! She is currently in the process of choosing an agency for her second journey!

In her off-time, she loves spending time with her family and close-friends, going to the beach, and spending time in nature with her girls. She also loves to play Wordle daily (a passion her and her IPs from her first journey share together), and loves to do 2000+ pieces jig-saw puzzles.

Hi, I’m Nohemi, a two-time surrogate based in sunny San Diego, California. As a single mom of two teenagers, family is at the heart of everything I do. Since highschool I have always been passionate about surrogacy and how it has helped so many families.

When I’m not immersed in the world of surrogacy, you’ll find me relaxing at home listening to music, enjoying the vibrant scene at great concerts, exploring thought-provoking documentaries, collecting inspiration from pinterest and tik tok for my next lunch or dinner ideas, staying connected with my family and friends through social media.

I look forward to connecting with you and being part of these incredible journeys!

Outside of her work, Megan loves to spend time with her family, test out new recipes, escape in a good book, or obsess over the show Surivor (which she hopes to be on one day!)

Journey Management Team

Heather Smith

Journey Coordinator
Licensed Midwife

Heather Smith is a resident of the Shenandoah Mountains in Virginia. She is a licensed midwife and a mother of four. Heather believes that her calling lies in helping families grow. With an unwavering passion for creating and nurturing families, Heather has truly found her calling in both midwifery and supporting families throughout their surrogacy experience.

Heather’s journey into the world of surrogacy was sparked by her own experiences as a midwife and her understanding of the diverse ways families are formed. It is an absolute joy to be able to walk alongside families and offer support as they grow. She is planning her first surrogacy journey for 2024.

When Heather is not supporting intended parents and surrogates or catching babies, she loves to spend time with her family. In her downtime she can almost always be found with a good book. She is passionate about education and teaches childbirth classes monthly in her community.

Ann Wieczorek

Journey Coordinator
Licensed Social Worker

Ann Wieczorek resides in the Chicago, Illinois area and is a Licensed Social Worker who has worked in family building since 2004.

Ann began her career in the adoption field working with all members of the adoption triad; birth parents, adoptees and adoptive parents. Being involved in helping families come together inspired her to want to help build families in another way: surrogacy! Ann had a wonderful surrogacy journey, delivering her tummy buddy in 2015. The experience was so positive and wonderful that Ann knew that she wanted to work with other women considering a surrogacy journey.

Ann has worked in surrogate screening and match management and is so excited to have joined the Surrogacy Is team where she hopes to help others have the same positive surrogacy experience she had.

Ann likes to think of herself as a cheerleader for however people choose to grow their families; whether it be with the help of an egg donor, sperm donor, embryo donor, or gestational surrogate or through adoption or foster care. Ann’s opinion is there is no one right way to be a family and what is right for one person/couple may not be right for another.

Outside of her work, Ann is a busy mom of three children who spends most of her time at her kid’s baseball, flag football and dance team events. She also enjoys weight training and yoga, reading, daily meditation and date nights with her hubby.

One of Ann’s goals is to obtain a Perinatal Mental Health Certification, which she hopes to put to use in her work at Surrogacy Is in the future.

Sam McConnell

Social Media Manager
Experienced Surrogate

Sam is an experienced surrogate, mother of 3, and part-time prenatal and kids yoga, mindfulness, & holistic wellness guide. She is devoted to creating a loving space for others in any and all of the work she does. 

The joy Sam found as a result of carrying and witnessing the moment her intended parents and surro baby became a family motivated her to research ways to continue to be a part of the magic of surrogacy. . . and through that research she found Surrogacy Is! 

Her commitment as a Surrogate Advocate is to empower women with knowledge and support throughout their surrogacy journeys and to authentically nurture the connections they create together.

Marissa Campeau

Digital Designer

Residing in St. Louis, MO with her husband and two young children, Marissa is a one-time experienced surrogate with a passion for design.

While still attending a university for Computer and Multimedia Graphics, she took it upon herself to chase after her dreams of being a graphic designer for MTV’s The Buried Life, boldly approaching them with the request after a 24+ hour drive across the country to meet them. There’s something to be said about making things happen for yourself!

Since that day, Marissa has been blessed with the opportunity to create graphics for some of the country’s most prominent and influential faces and shows, including Justin Bieber, Jamie Lee Curtis, Darren Criss, Kygo, Tori Kelly, Scooter Braun, @atticuspoetry, Letterkenny, and of course The Buried Life, and has crafted artwork for businesses such as Target, Space X, Winc, My Hand In Yours, Inkbox, Spiritual Gangster, and Life is Good.

With a great amount of experience in the publishing space, Marissa has designed the cover of not one, but five books, two of which are New York Times Best Sellers. She even recently designed a book in its entirety from cover to cover for the very first time. Accomplishment!

After a successful embryo transfer in July of 2023, Marissa knew that she wanted to shift her career focus to the surrogacy world. One unexpecting day she saw a job listing for Surrogacy Is, and the rest is history! Marissa could not be more thrilled to finally be combining her love of digital design with her passion for surrogacy.
