    I worked with this surrogacy agency for about six months and I honestly went into it with so much hope and trust. From the beginning, I followed every step, answered every email quickly, attended meetings with intended parents, and stayed fully committed to the process. What makes this so painful is how sudden everything changed. After half a year of communication and progress, I received a call…

    I cannot express enough how wonderful my experience with Pathways To Parenthood has been. From the very beginning it was clear that they genuinely cared not only for me as a surrogate but also for the intended parents. During my first journey i felt supported every step of the way. It was like having a dedicated force behind me ensuring everything went smoothly. Whenever I needed assistance or…

    I have been a surrogate with Pathways multiple times now, and I can't imagine having better experiences. They are thorough in screening, careful in matching, and incredibly supportive of their GCs and intended parents during the entire process. Pathways fosters meaningful, working relationships with the goal of making people's dreams of family into reality.

    I started my journey working with Pathways to Parenthood a few years ago and from the very beginning they have been a wonderful agency to work with. Kerry and Tina have always advocated for me , answered any questions I had in a timely manner and helped me have the best experience throughout becoming a surrogate/gestational carrier. I would recommend working with them , to any who is looking to become a surrogate or is looking for a surrogate. They have made the process worth while.

    Pathways was so easy to work with and gave us the opportunity to become parents! I am looking forward to working with them again.

  • Scott AllenScott AllenOct 2021Intended Parent

    My wife and I used Pathways to Parenthood to match us with an amazing woman that was a surrogate for us. They made what was an initially daunting process super smooth and as easy as it could be. We now have an amazing baby boy because of their efforts. This process has been so much more fulfilling for both us and our surrogate than any of us thought it would be. We have a great relationship and…

    I used pathways to Parenthood as a surrogate two times. Kerry and Tina are both amazing! When I first became interested in being a surrogate they answered all of my questions thoroughly and even provided me with more information that I didn't think to ask. I have recommended them to a few acquaintances to use. One as a surrogate and one for intended parents. Throughout both of my surrogate…
