    I became interested in becoming a surrogate in November 2022 but quickly became overwhelmed looking into all my options. Every agency is different, and I was looking for one that would treat me as an actual person and not just another number for their company. Then in December 2022 Jarret came across my FYP on TikTok. He seemed very warm and welcoming, and I enjoyed how he explained a surrogacy.…

    -GC with Brownstone Surrogacy, delivered August 2024. - To start this review, I want to say to not let location scare you away. Between myself, my IPs, and the agency, we covered coast to coast and NEVER had any problems with location of anyone. Our journey started August 2023 and transferred December 2023. When I called Yesenia one day in the end of August, I said to her" call me crazy but can…

    ***GC for Brownstone Surrogacy ***I delivered 02/26/24 I began my journey with Brownstone Surrogacy the beginning of September 2022. I had a couple different agency's presented to me from Surrogacy Is, but I ultimately decided to give the newer and smaller agency, Brownstone, a try. After I met the owner, Jarret, I knew Brownstone was the right fit for me. I always felt supported from both…

    This is a review for Brownstone Surrogacy **Gave birth Feb 2024. Brownstone Surrogacy has been great throughout the entire journey. I started with them when it was just Jarret (they have grown since) in June 2022. I have to say that I was considering a different agency before and found that they were not a good fit for my family. Jarret was very respectful to my spouse who is Deaf and was…

    As I considered my second surrogacy journey I knew I wanted different agency that my first journey. I wanted to be more than a number and needed to be heard if there was a question or concern. Brownstone has been exactly that for me! My questions are answered quickly (usually within the hour, if not sooner) I know my support staff and they know me, it truly is a family! I could not be happier…

    I found brownstone surrogacy after interviewing many different agencies for my 2nd journey. They are a newer agency but after talking to Jarret I knew this was the agency for me. He was very responsive in every email we exchanged. Brownstone had everything I was looking for mainly 3rd party escrow and lawyers. The matching process was a little tricky due to my occupation but I was finally matched…

    It's impossible for me to adequately convey how much we enjoyed our experience with Jarrett and Yesenia at Brownstone Surrogacy. My husband and I (surrogate) started with very little knowledge of the surrogacy process, and right from the start they answered every question we had in a way that we could easily understand. On the emotional side, we felt taken care of and cared for right from the…

    This is a review for Brownstone Surrogacy, a newer licensed agency based in NY that opened after the law changed there. I want to be transparent in my review, so I should state that my IPs were the agency's founder (Jarret) and his husband. So while this might not be typical, I can say that the agency remained professional throughout the journey. I had a great experience as a surrogate with…
