I have had the most positive and supportive experience as a two-time surrogate with Northwest Surrogacy Center! NWSC was always available to answer any questions, but also made the process very easy to follow-there were no guessing games as to where I was in the process or what was going to happen next. I was also matched with the most incredible IPs, who I am still in contact with and still very much feel valued and appreciated. During and after my journey, my case coordinator was absolutely wonderful. Everyone I ever came in contact with at NWSC was so caring and attentive. I love how their Facebook support group is very positive and helpful, and how they have monthly meet ups for current and past surrogates. I also love Veronica! She is always so supportive and empathetic to surrogates, I always love chatting with her! I’m so glad I made the right choice to work with NWSC, they truly made my journeys the best experience.…

I have done two full surrogacy journeys (1 – failed) with Northwest Surrogacy Center and they have been amazing every step of the way. From the first initial intake call I had, I felt that they truly cared about their surrogates and intended parents. They are thoughtful to your requests during the matching period and they were there to answer any questions I had without hesitation or judgement. During my second journey I unfortunately suffered a blighted ovum meaning embryo did not thrive as anticipated from blood work and NWSC checked in on me multiple times to make sure I was doing okay. They go above and beyond to make sure their surrogates are taken care of and I really appreciated that. I also appreciate how transparent they are when it comes to compensation and how you are paid as a surrogate. Overall, I have nothing but amazing things to say about the company and the wonderful people that work at NWSC.…
Bayleigh EdmonsonFeb 2026SurrogateI just finished my first surrogacy journey with NWSC in November, and I couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience. They thoughtfully matched me with an amazing couple, always checked in on me, and got back to me with any questions I had with great timing. From the very start to even after I had the baby they have always been so helpful and kind. I’m forever grateful for them for making this surrogacy dream of mine the most amazing experience. I would recommend them a million times!!

Pierra CheekFeb 2026SurrogateI started my first surrogacy journey with NWSC in 2024, and from start to finish, I had an incredible experience. Everyone is so kind, supportive, and always there when you need a question answered. It could be through email, text, or phone call; they always got to you ASAP. They are always making sure you're okay and love surprising their surrogates with gifts! Not once did I ever feel rushed or unheard throughout my process. For me the process went smoothly and I felt reassured throughout everything. I got lucky with my match and met a fantastic international couple and absolutely loved them after meeting with them. we still keep in touch by choice and I absolutely love that. I couldn’t have asked for a better agency and I love working with them so much that I will be doing a second journey with them!…

Cheyenne BorraFeb 2026SurrogateI have loved everything about working with Northwest Surrogacy Center! From start to finish the process was flawless, with an easy to follow timeline of events and clear communication. I really enjoy the relationship I’ve built with my case worker over the last 2 surrogate journeys, and if a third journey is in my cards, it will 100% be through NWSC!
