We will most definitely recommend Creative Conception to other couples.

Dian & Peter

Dear Lisa & Kelly,

What a pleasure it was to work with you! We have had some ‘less than perfect’ experiences with other agencies in the past, and we wanted to tell you that dealing with Creative Conception has been wonderful. You guys deliver what other agencies only promise.

We were at our wits end at finding a donor agency we felt comfortable with and that didn’t make it difficult for out-of-country couples when we spoke with another couple that highly recommended your agency. Are we ever glad that we took their suggestion and called.

Since we live in Europe, and travel to California for the DE procedure, we expected many logistical and communication difficulties. However, you were both so flexible with your time, communicated regularly (thank you email) and smoothed out every bump in the road that we soon realized that our worries were unfounded.

Also, Christy was a dream! She was informed and completely committed to the whole process. We never felt worried that she was unsure of the protocol.

We were confident that she was clear on all of her responsibilities and that she wasn’t ambivalent about her commitment. The combination of your seminars, screening process and personal touch is right on target for the selection of wonderful woman who have the most generous hearts imaginable.

Creative Conceptions has the experience, dedication and personnel to help you realize something great.

Philip B. & Family

To Whom It May Concern:

You are embarking on a journey that can be the most rewarding experience of your life. In all likelihood, it is not something you planned and you are approaching it with at least some trepidation.

But, the fact that you have gotten this far means that you have hope, and that is the strongest emotion you will have to tap into repeatedly throughout this process. It is the promise of something great that will allow you to overcome the trepidation until you realize your family.

The fact that you are reading this now means that you are considering moving forward with Creative Conceptions. Know this: We are not people who write letters extolling the virtues of someone or something without substantial justification. In this instance, we are compelled to write. The undeniable reality is that we would not have been able to have a family without Creative Conceptions.

And, we would not have been able to handle the journey without Creative Conceptions -at times, equally important along the way. We have been fortunate enough to have two children because a surrogate donated her time, effort, energy, commitment and body to our cause.

We have been fortunate enough to have two children and come away from both experiences positively, with deep gratitude and appreciation, and with remarkably smooth processes in both instances because of Creative Conceptions and Kellie Snell.

God has a plan and with your doctor’s help your dreams might just come true.

Two Potential Parents with Baby on Board

Dear Prospective Parents,

We strongly recommend the egg donation process and with working Creative Conceptions Inc. The entire staff guides you through the process from beginning to end.

They truly care about you, your future children and the donor.

We are currently nine weeks pregnant from our first egg donor cycle and thrilled. Previously, we had two natural pregnancies that ended in miscarriage.

We looked at multiple agencies and found the quality of their donors and their attention to detail far and away the best agency that we reviewed. Our donor

that we found at Creative Conceptions Inc was truly special and a perfect fit for our family. All the donors are very well screened and a wonderful group of young

women which can make the final decision tough. It is vital to work with an agency that has the experience and integrity that Creative Conceptions represents.

CCI sent us a keepsake book and CD with pictures of our donor and her information. This will come in handy later on when we explain to our child what a true gift from God they are. Also, I had sent our pictures in and they put them all together in the book which was very special.

I am forever grateful for what she has done for us.

Thankful for Creative Conception, Inc.

After a year of marriage, we decided it was finally time to get pregnant. I did not think it was going to be a big deal. And, in the beginning, it wasn’t. In fact, we got pregnant the very first time we tried. And, the pregnancy went well. That is, until we received the very bad news that would change our lives forever. A rare complication had occurred due to the amniocentesis and our baby boy passed away. I was 24 weeks pregnant.

We took the time we needed to grieve our loss. And, after a year, even though our grief had not completely gone away we decided to try again. However, getting pregnant a second time was not so easy. My previous pregnancy had caused an auto-immune issue that was not only affecting my personal health, but also my ability to get pregnant. It was a very frustrating time for us and after trying on our own for over a year, we decided we needed help.

We researched all of the fertility agencies in the Bay Area and we decided that PFC would be the perfect choice for us. We were impressed by their knowledgeable staff and we felt confident that they would be able to help us. Our plan was to try IVF. However, I was concerned that my body would betray me once again. And, to be perfectly honest, I was terrified of being pregnant for a second time. And, if that was not enough, my personal doctors told me that not only was it highly likely that my auto-immune issues could get worse during another pregnancy, but also that my immune system would pass an antibody to my baby that could cause a heart defect. This information was just too much for one person to handle. So, after a few “heated” discussions with my husband and several hours of therapy sessions, we decided that surrogacy would be the best option for us. Now, if you would have told me 4 years ago that we would have a surrogate carry our baby, I would have thought that you were crazy. I am not the type of person to let a stranger drive my car, much less carry my baby for me. Just shows you how much things can change depending upon your circumstances. The fact of the matter was that I knew in my heart of hearts, a “stranger’s” body was more healthy than my own to carry our baby. Once we accepted this, the decision became an easy one for us.

My donor was amazing, the perfect fit, and you guided me to her.

Happy Intended Parents!!

Dear Amber,

My husband and I wanted to take a moment to say Thank You for all you have done for us. As you know – I have been on a long journey with trying to get pregnant. After two failed cycles, I felt confused, angry, scared, financially strapped and sad.

I needed guidance – and you provided it for me. You took my situation to heart and truly went above and beyond to help me find the right donor for me this time. You were a straight shooter and weren’t doing this just to earn a buck. You really have a big heart and a strong moral compass that I relied on this cycle.

My donor was amazing, the perfect fit, and youguided me to her.

Creative Conceptions is not just a cookie cutter agency. You really take the time with your clients to do what is best for them.

I can’t thank you enough for helping make thispossible for my husband and me.

I highly recommend Creative Conceptions to anyone who is in need of an egg donor. I used other agencies before and let me tell you – there is NO comparison.

All we can say is a heartfelt “Thank You”.

Shelly & John

Dear Prospective Parents,

After unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant for over 2 years, my husband and I started our search for an egg donor. For me, this was a much more difficult process as we started to look for the “perfect” donor for us. We registered on 8 other websites and after a few months we were getting discouraged on finding a suitable donor for us. When we read the profile of the donor at Creative Conception Inc., we knew she was the one for us. Amber replied to us almost immediately and answered the many questions we had.

We felt such relief to find the donor we wanted and in having Amber walk us through the process. Amber was there for us every step of the way working with our doctor’s office, with us and with the donor. She was always knowledgeable, professional and very experienced. The egg donor/in vitro process is such a stressful one with so much to learn and consider but Amber truly made the experience so pleasant that I know we wouldn’t have gotten through it without her. We are so thankful to Amber, our Donor and the entire team at Creative Conception Inc. All we can say is a heartfelt “Thank You”.

child with hat

I am a Mom! I am the Mother!

Claudia

Hi… my name is Claudia, and I’m infertile. Yes, this is an awkward way to introduce myself, but I figure we cut through the niceties and get right to it. My partner and I met when we were 39, and at 40 we realized if we were going to have kids we best get on the train and get going. So… we tried, and we tried, and we tried—for three years. Not a super long time, but those years were jammed packed—full of heartache and sadness. Let’s see, we endured 6 miscarriages, and the loss of 7 babies… one of my pregnancies was twins. The day I lost them was the worst day of my life. We did everything… the natural method, IUI, IVF… all of it. I felt like a pin cushion with all the shots I had to take, and at times and didn’t recognize myself when I looked in the mirror. So after some serious soul searching, we decided to stop using me as the means to bring a baby into this world and we began our search for someone else to carry our baby.

There isn’t a guidebook to using a surrogate; however, the process was made easier when we found Creative Conceptions. The idea of someone else carrying my child was unwelcome to me at first. I felt like a failure, but through the love and support from my partner, therapist, doctors, and this agency, I realized that the women who do this for those who can’t are true heroes… they are amazing! We were matched with an incredible angel surrogate who took the absolute best care of herself and our baby. We got weekly baby bump pics and made recordings of our voices reading and singing for the baby to hear through belly headphones. Also, when I got sad and longed to feel my baby growing, I would send our angel a note and ask her to rub her belly and tell it mama was thinking of you and cannot wait to hold you… and she would.

Egg Donors

I recommend Creative Conception to all my friends, so that they can experience the part of giving with an agency that is safe and comfortable!

Sincerely, Lynda (Orange County)

I chose Creative Conception because a friend had told me such positive things about your company….so I decided to call…and when I did I spoke with Kellie who was just

the nicest person I talked to! When I went to the workshop, my husband and I were very pleased with how informative the workshop was. We were told the negatives and the positives about the donor program and I knew what to expect. When the time came to a decision, my husband and I were happy with Kellie, and the way she presented herself and her agency that we decided to become a part of that. Since then, I have been happy being a donor with Kellie & Lisa, and plan on staying a donor with Creative Conception. I recommend Creative Conception to all my friends, so that they can experience the part of giving with an agency that is safe and comfortable!

When you are a donor with Creative Conception, they keep the welfare of the donor very much the priority

Beth (San Diego, CA)

Dear Prospective Donor, if you are reading this letter, it means you are interested in becoming an ova donor. You probably have many questions about what happens and how much is involved. I had the same questions when I was a donor. The staff at Creative Conception, Inc. will take the time to answer all of your questions, no matter how unusual you may think they are. When I was first considering becoming a donor, I called several fertility clinics and asked whom they would recommend as an agency.

Many offices told me that they used Creative Conception. I called for an information packet and received it in the mail. I also called another agency and when I tried to contact them, my telephone calls were not returned. I called Kellie at Creative Conception and she gave me the names and numbers of the lawyers that she uses for her donors.

Even though, my questions were regarding things that were not in the packet, she was happy to help me get my questions answered.

When you are a donor with Creative Conception, they keep the welfare of the donor very much the priority. From the initial doctors’ visits and counseling, through the series of injections and excellent follow up after the retrieval. They keep you informed every step of the way as to what will happen and what to expect. And if a problem does arise, they are there to help you. Creative Conception is in your corner and they are here to protect you as the donor. I am very glad I chose Kellie Snell and her great staff at Creative Conception, Inc. to be my donor agency.

Being an egg donor is not easy, but it is immensely rewarding.

Paige (Los Angeles, CA)

As it happens with many potential donors, I answered an ad placed by a couple looking for the right match. They became my match. And as luck would have it, the couple was working with Kellie Snell, owner of Creative Conception, Inc. I began my screening process with CCI and had the opportunity to interact with both Kellie and her assistant Lisa. Over the months it took us to go from start to finish (a diverse group of people to a successful pregnancy!), Kellie and

Lisa answered countless questions for me, represented me, supported me, were patient with me…In short, they were good to me.

I have been a donor twice before through a different agency. The difference between CCI and the others I have been exposed to is a warmth for which I am

appreciative. Kellie has been a donor herself. She knew firsthand what I was experiencing. Their office environment is personable and friendly. I never felt like I was working with a bureaucracy; I always felt I was working with friends.

I am now at the age limit for donors, so I am no longer eligible to donate. If I were, though, without a doubt I would choose Creative Conception, Inc. I trust both Kellie and Lisa. I like them. I believe they kept my needs a priority throughout our working together. In this process the simple factors of trusting and liking those with whom one works with makes all the difference in the world. Being an egg donor is not easy, but it is immensely rewarding. My recipient couple is pregnant now, and CCI helped bring about that pregnancy.

Creative Conception always made me feel as though I was their only donor.

Audrey (Orange County, CA)

I just wanted to write a note to thank you for the opportunity to help another family have a family. You have been so patient and understanding with me.

I chose not to talk about this with anyone else so your being there for me has really meant a lot. When I think about people who have chosen to do this without an agency running interference when there is a question about medications, or whatever, my heart really goes out to them. I really just wanted you to relay onto people considering this, to really think before choosing an agency that is too busy to handle them personally. I have found that

Creative Conception always made me feel as though I was their only donor. I know that is not true but I always felt like they handled all my questions and my raging hormones with the etiquette necessary to get me through the moment I was having. Thank you again for all you have done both times to ensure that my donations went smoothly and painlessly.

Everyone of the Nursing staff and Doctors, gave me not only exceptional but compassionate care.

Megan

I sat down to write this letter in reflection of this last year and I am overwhelmed at the amazing things I got to be a part of! First off I should tell you a little about me and why I decided to be an egg donor. I am a 25 years old, married and was looking for something that I could do to make a difference in the world. Egg donation was brought to my attention though a close friend and I was amazed at the possibility. Could I really help change others lives with something so many of us take for granted? After thought, prayer and lots of “Googling” my husband and I decided this was something we could do.

Creative Conceptions was introduced into my life and as they say the rest is history. I got the pleasure to work with Amber Snell as my coordinator, someone that on a daily basis was there to answer my crazy questions and deal with my insane hormones haha… I was lucky to be a part of 3 egg donation cycles, to 3 very deserving couples! Everyone that I encountered with Creative Conceptions; Amber Snell, Stephanie Caballero, Sylvia Marnella and everyone of the Nursing staff and Doctors, gave me not only exceptional but compassionate care.

I look back on the last year with so much gratitude, not only did I have an impact on people’s lives they have forever changed mine. Thank You to everyone that helped me through my journey, I will never forget you or this incredible year!!

I am so grateful I’ve been able to work with an agency that made it all possible.

Donor 2616 🙂

Participating as a donor with Creative Conception Inc. has been nothing short of a blessing! My experience working with them has always been extremely smooth and comfortable.

They made it possible for me to give the gift of life. Being involved in something so special is beyond words! Being a donor has been such a gratifying and positive journey for me.

I am so grateful I’ve been able to work with an agency that made it all possible.

Overall the experience of being an egg donor has been a privlidge and a pleasure.

BF, 5 time donor

I have worked with Creative Conception, Inc. for 3 cycles now, and they all have been truly amazing experiences. My favorite part of being an egg donor is hearing the story of the parents,

and all that they have gone through. Learning that the results have been positive gives you such a wonderful feeling, to have made such a difference in these peoples lives!

To be a part of the process of giving the gift of life is something amazing, something that not everyone gets the opportunity to do. Amber is so great to work with, she is

there every step of the way, making sure every visit goes smoothly and that you are never left in the dark about anything that is going on with the Dr.s and Intended Parents.

Overall the experience of being an egg donor has been a privlidge and a pleasure.

I can honestly say, I wouldn’t look any further than this agency if you want results with compassion!

4X Donor

Being an egg donor has been the most rewarding experience! There is no better feeling than to make a real difference in the lives of others. I have worked with other agencies in the past, so when I decided to join Creative Conception, Inc. in their quest to help create families, never did I imagine that this agency would hold such a big place in my heart!

The people of Creative Conception, Inc. that I have worked with are sweet, compassionate, understanding, readily available to help at any time, and overflowing with the joy that they have for their profession. They serve as the middle man, not only between the donor and recipient, but also between the donor and hospital/nurses/doctors. Needless to say, the middle man is one of the most important parts of this process. Every aspect of this company exudes professionalism. They are the sweetest people, who truly take pride in what they do every day. They are affiliated with the best doctors whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I’ve never felt uncomfortable or needed to question the cycle plan. Each cycle was such a smooth process unlike other agencies I’ve worked with in the past.

As a four time egg donor with Creative Conception, Inc. I can honestly say, I wouldn’t look any further than this agency if you want results with compassion!

I feel so blessed to have found and signed with Creative Conceptions and will continue to work with only them.

Donor #3479

Prior to signing with Creative Conceptions, I was a donor for another LA based agency. What a HUGE difference it is to work with such a professional company! Megan and Amber are not only incredibly sweet, they are with you from the start of your cycle until the very end, whenever you need them. I can’t stress enough how helpful they have been with answering any questions I have, making sure I stay as updated as possible throughout my cycle, and going so far out of their way to make sure things go incredibly smoothly. During my last cycle, I ended up staying out of town an additional day for the retrieval. As soon as I told Amber, she immediately rebooked my flight home, made another reservation for the hotel, got me a doctors note for work, and made sure I had per diem to feed myself the extra day. I did not have to worry about a single thing. They truly care about their donors’ wellbeing and have the best interest of their patients at mind the whole time. I feel so blessed to have found and signed with Creative Conceptions and will continue to work with only them.

donor#3424

I recently became a donor with Creative Conception and have to admit, it was the most rewarding experience.

Me being a first time donor, meant my questions were endless. Amber, my coordinator, made this process, so smooth and stress free, I really don’t think I could have done it with out her. She was there to answer every question, and really make this process personable and special. She was continuously in contact with me, keeping me up to date with appointments, informing me of what to expect and most importantly there for support.

I’ve been told how rewarding egg donation is, but no words can describe the feeling until you’re actually a part of it. I am so beyond grateful that CCI made my experience so perfect.

Notes from Creative Conception’s Donors

Samantha

Hi, I’m Samantha, a five-time egg donor form Irvine, California. In my early twenties, I was away at school working several jobs to pay for my private education and balancing a busy social life. Finding interesting ways to make extra cash was always something on my mind in college because I valued the pursuit of education for personal and intellectual enhancement.

During the holiday break of 2008, I traveled home to spend Christmas with my family. My mother was telling me a story over dinner about a friend of hers who had been struggling to conceive a child with her husband for about a year now. She went on to tell me about the extensive testing they have done along with failed IVF treatments for her own eggs. I remember feeling so horrible for her, having come from a large family myself, I couldn’t image wanting a child and not being able to have one after so much effort. My mother told me her friend was going to try and use an egg donor after the holidays. I had never heard of egg donation before and I was interested in how that would work out for our family friends.

After I returned to school I began to look into the idea of egg donation. I was shocked to see the monetary reward for donating eggs and I started to think, “how wonderful would it be to be the person that helps someone have a family and use the money to pay for my education?” I knew I wanted to sign up and under go the screening process to see if I qualify. After a few months I found an agency and I cleared the first round of screening. I was quickly matched with a family looking for someone with my genetics and educational background and I was then off to the Doctor for my first medical exam.

Surrogate Mothers

I decided to do this again.

Ruthanna

Hi! My name is Ruthanna. I recently delivered a baby on the 13th of March. He was a 9lb. 12oz. boy! I gave birth to him for a couple that had tried for 12 years with no success. I was their only alternative. Kellie Snell had been working with them throughout most of their years of trying so she knew them very well.

She felt she needed to find the perfect person to match them, and that is where I came in. I met my couple over a great dinner and we talked for awhile. At first sight of them, I knew I had found my match! I tried to give Kellie my answer before I left the restaurant but she asked me to think about it overnight. I already knew, though, that they were the couple for me!

We went through IVF with great success. We were pregnant on the first try. Everyone was so excited! The dream that seemed so out of reach was now only 9 months away.

The reason I decided to do this great act of kindness was because of a movie I saw when I was 20 years old. The movie was about surrogacy. I guess it touched my heart inso many ways. I decided that after I got married and had children of my own, I would help someone get their family. When I turned 24 years old, I did some research and it lead me to Kellie Snell. She handled my case herself and I felt very special! In dealing with her associates, I found a group that were more like family instead of business associates. They were always happy to hear from me; even if I called 3 or 4 times a day.

more

I will always cherish this experience and can whole heartedly recommend it.

Vera B.

I am so thankful to Kellie and her team at Creative Conception for all their help throughout this incredible journey. From the first contact on I felt heard and cared for.

It has been a dream of mine to be a surrogate since I read an article when I was 18 years old. Unfortunately it is not possible in most European countries, so when we finally

received our green cards in 2009 to stay in the US, my old dream resurfaced.

My husband and teenage children were a huge help during the preparations and pregnancy. We worked with a couple for a year. After 4 attempts they decided to take a break.

Luckily we found another couple close by and were super excited to get the positive result after the first try!

The singleton pregnancy went smoothly and on March 17, 2012 we finally met the boy that had occupied all our thoughts for the past year.

I will always cherish this experience and can whole heartedly recommend it.

Thank you for making my dream come true!

Kelly is a master at matching couples with surrogates.

Jillian R

It feels like so long ago that I picked up the phone and called Creative Conceptions Inc. the first time. I was nervous, excited and really unsure what to expect. The voice on the other end was reassuring and kind. My questions were answered with confidence. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about surrogacy.

The process was explained to me at the first meeting. This was so helpful in making the final decision with my husband. We knew exactly what to expect.

Kelly is a master at matching couples with surrogates. I have been matched with two couples and felt connected immediately.

Surrogacy has always been a dream of mine. Creative Conception helped smooth the medical and financial stuff out so that could really experience the important stuff. I’m proud and honored to be a Creative Conception Surrogate.

“The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for.”

D.L.

“The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for.”

This is the powerful statement that touched my heart and helped put the idea of surrogacy in my mind. I have been blessed with three beautiful children of my own and have had fairly easy pregnancies and deliveries so why not give the gift of carrying a child to some deserving couple?

I started my journey by searching for an agency. I would not settle for just any agency. I wanted the best: one that would educate me, listen to me but most importantly support me. After speaking with Kellie and Kristy, with Creative Conception, I knew I had found my agency (and I had spoken with many others). All of my questions were answered and all of my concerns were addressed. There was one request I had when starting this process. I wanted 100% reassurance that the couple I would be a surrogate for was deserving. I was adamant that I would not help bring a child into this world for just anyone. The questionnaire for both myself and the intended parents helped Creative Conception find my perfect match. After months of communication between me and the intended parents, I knew in my heart that being a surrogate was what I was meant to do. Yes, I was scared; but after hearing about the years of failed attempts and heartbreak that my intended parents had endured, I had the strength to move forward. Nine months later, I not only successfully helped bring a beautiful baby girl into the loving arms of her parents, I also made lifelong friendships with my intended parents; my therapist, Myriam (a service provided to all surrogates by Creative Conception) and my surrogate support group of wonderful girls (also a service provided by Creative Conception) who, like me, opened their hearts and blessed a family with the most precious thing in the world…a baby.

The support and guidance that CCI showed to me and my Intended parents (IP’s) throughout this journey was unmatched.

SU – Very happy Surrogate to a beautiful miracle

As I sit down to write this testimony, I am finding it hard to put into words how wonderfully awesome my surrogate journey has been and that journey was made possible by Creative Conception Inc. (CCI)

My decision to be a surrogate was not a decision that I or my family took lightly. We were all very committed to helping a couple become a family and from the very moment that I met Kellie and Kristy, they made me feel instantly at ease and their encouraging and nurturing style set them apart from any other agency that I consulted with. That, along with their professionalism and high degree of confidentiality made them the clear choice as the agency for me to sign up with.

The level of care taken by CCI to match me with a perfect couple was outstanding. Both Kellie and Kristy took the time to understand what I and my family were looking for in a couple. Throughout my pregnancy Kellie and Kristy, would check in with me to see how I was doing and would answer any questions I had. They attended appointments with me and were able to provide a very comforting support. I delivered my surrogate baby on October 11th to the most wonderful couple.

The support and guidance that CCI showed to me and my Intended parents (IP’s) throughout this journey was unmatched.

This was a magnificent life changing experience that no one can explain until you actually are part of it.

Claudia, Delivery 05/22/2014

Dear future parent/s and surrogates,

My name is Claudia and did the most memorable thing last year! After inquiring with different agencies I decided to embark a beautiful journey with Creative Conception or better say with a new family members Kellie, Kristy and Amber, yes a family because that it is exactly how they make you feel a warm and supportive family!. They are there from day one and every step of the process even after the miracle happens.

I was a surrogate for a single international dad who also received all the attention, guidance and support from CCI team. This was a magnificent life changing experience that no one can explain until you actually are part of it. The matching process with him was a great and at the result I was able to deliver a healthy beautiful angel that fulfilled two families with happiness and love.

more

The joy I was able to help bring to a family is indescribable.

Felicia

To those considering being a surrogate and those looking for a surrogate:

Creative Conceptions is an amazing organization with the best staff you could ever hope to work with in this journey. Kristy and Kellie go above and beyond for their surrogates and help ensure a good bond forms between the surrogate and the intended parents. I have had the best experience working with them. I loved sharing with them all the information from each doctors visit and when talking with them on the phone or in person it is more like talking with a friend than an organization.

We started the process a little over a year ago and this past July I delivered a beautiful 9 lb 6 oz baby boy to one of the most amazing and deserving couples I have met. We all are still in contact. I get updates on the baby and send them weekly breast milk shipments. We all have grown quite close. This experience is the most rewarding one I’ve ever had. Well, next to having my own two boys that is. The joy I was able to help bring to a family is indescribable. Being a surrogate has filled me with such love and happiness as well. Yes there were times when it wasn’t the funnest (injections and heartburn) but I wouldn’t change any if it.

Notes from Creative Conception’s Surrogates

M.B.

I had the best experience working with CCI! I couldn’t have asked for a better journey being a first time surrogate. I spoke with a few other agencies before deciding on CCI. They were so helpful and I felt like they really cared for and valued me. I have witnessed many people struggle with fertility and felt the pull to help someone achieve their dream of becoming parents. They matched me with the perfect couple and my surrogacy journey has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of my life. They were so supportive through the whole process and made sure everything went smoothly. They were easy to reach if I ever needed anything at all and I would definitely be surrogate again because it was such a positive experience.
