    Mi experiencia con Gestacy fue muy significativa para mí. Durante el proceso recibí acompañamiento y atención por parte del equipo, quienes estuvieron presentes en las diferentes etapas del programa. Aunque mi experiencia tuvo que terminar antes de lo esperado por cuestiones de salud, agradezco haber formado parte de este proyecto y todo lo aprendido durante el camino. Me quedo con las experiencias y los momentos que hicieron especial este proceso.

    I had the BEST experience with Gestacy! My journey was nothing short of amazing! The team at Gestacy truly cares, and does whatever they need to make sure that you are completely happy with your experience, and if you're not - they always fix it. I had a few hiccups in my journey- one being with my original coordinator. I was too nervous to say anything, so my IP's actually brought it up and they…

Anyone who is considering being a surrogate, I will give Gestacy a 10/10 rating! You will not regret it!! It was my first time being a…

    Gestacy was an amazing agency to work with, start to finish. My case manager, Maria, was the highlight of my experience with Gestacy. Not only was she attentive and timely, she also genuinely cared about my health and safety as a surrogate. There were a few hiccups in my surrogacy journey along with some health issues, but Gestacy (and especially Maria) made me feel seen, heard, and valued. Any…

    Gracias a Gestacy nuestro proceso fue muy llevadero. Todo el equipo nos guió, ayudó y resolvió todas las dudas al instante. Están hasta el último detalle. Especial mención a Natalia que estuvo con nosotros desde el inicio hasta después del nacimiento de nuestro niño y a Marcela que estuvo muy pendiente y nos ayudó muchísimo también.

    I finished my first surrogacy journey with Gestacy in April. The whole process was relatively quick and the communication was timely. I started my journey with Idaly as my coordinator. She was very informative, made sure all of my questions and concerns were answered and guided me in detail through every step. After delivery I got a new coordinator, Maria. Even though our time together was pretty…

    I absolutely loved working with Gestacy for both of my surrogacies. They made both of my journeys as easy as they could be. Maria De La Cruz was my coordinator and she was wonderful to work with. Anytime I had an issue or question she was always prompt with helping me. I would highly recommend working with them.
