only God can give you the baby meant for you, not science, not surrogacy.
I’m sharing this because I wish someone had told me what I was walking into. My surrogacy journey with this agency has been incredibly stressful. It took 14–15 months just to get from application to embryo transfer, and the agency barely communicates unless they need something from you. There’s no support, no community, and no clear explanation of what to expect. I’ve dealt with dishonesty about my IPs since day one, and I’m still being lied to when I ask basic questions. I went my entire first trimester without insurance because of their disorganization. My private information was leaked to reporters, which was terrifying. The agent assigned to me has repeatedly asked for personal details that are not necessary, making me feel uncomfortable and taken advantage of — especially as a first‑time surrogate trying to figure everything out alone. This experience has been overwhelming, and I’m not even halfway through my pregnancy. I truly hope the agency improves, because no surrogate should feel this unsafe or unsupported. Also I want to add that the ad that I came across mentioned $120,000 in compensation and for the potential surrogates wanting to try this for the first time know that you have to have been a surrogate at least twice before becoming eligible for that kind of compensation.…
I have had an amazing experience with Patriot Conceptions as a surrogate. From the very beginning, their team has been supportive, compassionate, and professional. They truly care about both their surrogates and intended parents, and they make sure you feel informed and valued throughout the entire journey. Communication has been excellent, and whenever I had questions or concerns, they were quick to help. Being a surrogate is such an important and emotional experience, and I’m grateful to have a team that has made the process so positive and rewarding. I highly recommend Patriot Conceptions to anyone considering surrogacy, whether as a surrogate or an intended parent.…
I’ve had a very poor experience with applying to become a surrogate. I’ve applied and turned in all necessary forms and paperwork, but I have been completely unable to get ahold of anyone from this agency or have them respond to me. I almost think it must not be a real agency at this point. Very very disappointing and upsetting.
As a first time surrogate I have loved working with patriot conceptions sunny and Elaine have made this experience very easy and smooth they make sure you are very informed and very comfortable Any questions I have they always answer right away. You can tell that they truly love what they do and i am very excited to be doing this journey with them by my side.
Earlier this year, I had submitted a form expressing interest in learning more about surrogacy. I first spoke with Melissa, the COO, when she called me out of the blue (no email, no text) asking if I was interested in her agency. I recall her sounding quite impatient. But alas I scheduled time and took the meeting a few days later. That was a mistake. I came away with our discussion completely unsatisfied with answers to my questions and would highly recommend intended parents complete their own due diligence before thinking about working with this agency. From our conversation, it was unbelievable how little she knew about her program, the exact costs, and the logistics of it all. She also made audacious claims such as we could match you immediately and that her agency does the highest volume in all of California. Your miles may vary but I was extremely disappointed with my interaction.…
They are an amazing team/group to work with! Always there to answer your questions and help you alone every process of your journey. They treat you like family and always go above and beyond for everyone!
My experience has truly been great so far! I am a first time surrogate and the team has helped answer all my questions and really make me feel comfortable and confident in each phase. I couldn’t ask for a better company to support me throughout the entire process.
Patriot Conceptions has been wonderful to work with in my surrogate process. They are all so willing to answer any questions and really make you feel comfortable and confident in each phase.
I have been working with patriot conceptions as a surrogate for a few months and the process has been amazing so far! they are quick to answer questions and are very informative about the whole process!
Ive been working with patriot conceptions for a few months now and the experience has been great so far. They are quick to answer questions and are on top of everything. Everyone i have spoken has been very professional!
I love how Patriot Conceptions help families recieve lil blessings. How they take care of their clients but also the surrogates. The staff are amazing and Sobeida is such a loving, caring and helpful staff member. Thank you so much Patriot Conception
as a surrogate i would say there is absolutely no better company to work with then patriot conceptions!!!
My experience with Patriot Conceptions was wonderful. I matched with parents pretty quickly and was guided every step of the way. Truly the best feeling in the world helping give people the gift of a baby.
I've always felt a calling, a want, a need to help other families build their families since it's so easy for me to carry children and I know how difficult it is for other people. Going into surrogacy, I knew that I HAD to have a team that supports me and Patriot Conceptions has been exactly that. From the moment I've reached out to Patriot Conceptions in 2022, they've made me feel like family. The coordinators have answered my texts late at night, on the weekends, literally all the time from anything about my symptoms, or medications, or insurance, filling out paperwork, you name it, they've always answered me and been there. On my first journey, when I witnessed the parents holding their baby for the first time, and knowing I had a big part in that, bringing that child into this world, helping them grow their family, it's just a feeling that I will carry with me forever and I am so honored to be able to do it again, with patriot conceptions on my side!…
As a first-time surrogate, I initially felt a great deal of uncertainty and nervousness. However, those feelings were quickly put to rest thanks to the incredible team that supported me throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, I was met with professionalism, empathy, and a genuine commitment to my well-being. Every question I had—no matter how big or small—was answered thoroughly and with care. The team ensured I felt informed, supported, and confident at each step of the journey. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Sobeida, whose warmth, guidance, and consistent support made a significant impact on my experience. Her presence provided a strong sense of reassurance, no mater time or day she answered my questions and I always felt that I was in capable and compassionate hands. For anyone considering becoming a surrogate, I cannot speak highly enough of the level of care and support I received. This journey was not only rewarding but truly life-changing, and I am deeply grateful to have had such an exceptional team by my side.…
Patriot conceptions, are great. They helped me every step of the way. I was a nervous wreck, wondering if I would do well. The team reassured me, I was doing great even if I didn't feel like I was. I had my transfer, and I was met at the clinic with one of the case managers Sobeida. She was standing there like an angel, holding flowers and a goodie bag. Which I wasn't expecting, she made today much less worrisome... Thank you Patriot Conception.
This has to be one of the worst agencies you could be a surrogate for. My intended parents, I never once met them, only talked through an app. Never FaceTimes nothing. I had a C-section they said they would come see me and never did. The agency alone was horrible as well, when I did embryo transfer because I was dressed comfortable and not wearing make up since initial appointment was at 630 am they wouldn’t take a picture of me in the clinic because I wasn’t wearing make up. Definitely wish my first time being a surrogate was different and had more meaning but to the intended parents I was just a body hosting for their baby.…
This was my first time doing surrogacy and it was an amazing life changing experience. Surrogacy is the most beautiful journey in the world, it's love, hope and families being created. Im grateful to everyone who makes this posible.
Great Company and awesome support my questions were always answer and process went smoothly as a Gestational Mother I will recommend them and there team thank you all for your help! My coordinator was Sobeida she was always helpful and honest thank you Patriotic Conceptions for what you do☺️😄😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Cant wait to work with you guys again!Thank you for also being not a company but family as well❤️
absolute scam do not like or follow... they wil harass you in messenger... avoid at all cost
This is my first surrogate journey and working with patriot has been amazing:) From the very beginning every person I talked too was so kind, the process was a little scary at the beginning but the agency made it so much better, they answered all my questions and addressed every concern I had. Sunny was very sweet when I first sent in my application and helped me through all the beginning stages of the matching process. Elaine has been my case manager through the whole thing and she’s been such a pleasure to work with during this journey:) I’m currently 6 months pregnant and I would definitely recommend patriot conceptions to anyone considering surrogacy. Would love to help another family and do another surrogacy with patriot again in the future as it’s been so nice working with them this time around :)…
This was my first surrogate journey ever and let me just say it’s been amazing working with this company. They have made the process so easy and welcoming for me. I got started at the very beginning talking to Sunny, she was very sweet and helped me sort out any questions or concerns I had at the very beginning and when getting matched with my family:) Elaine has been my case manager through the whole thing and she’s been very on top of everything, always answering messages when I have questions or to simply talk about how my pregnancy is going. I’m currently 6 months pregnant and this pregnancy has been so enjoyable with the help of the agency:) I love being able to help a family while also achieving my goals and dreams. I would definitely recommend Patriot Conceptions to others if you’re looking for an amazing thing to do for another family:) I have a son of my own so I am so grateful to give the experience of a child to another family. So happy I decided to go with this agency and would love to work with them again in the future:)…
Hi, I am a surrogate with Patriot Conceptions and I’m extremely grateful for this journey that I’m on Sunny has been great helping me with everything that I need even with questions that I may have. She’s always there to get the answer. Thank you, Patriot Conceptions for truly caring.
Hello I am A first time Surrogate and I would highly recommend anyone to this agency to become a surrogate! Elaine, Yuna, and Sunny have guided me through every little question I’ve had and have made me feel welcomed to the patriot conceptions family!
This was my first time doing surrogacy. It’s been a ride. I think Patriot Conceptions has made this process unbelievably amazing. I would be more than willing to do another journey for another beautiful family. Everyone I’ve come in contact with has been so beautifully kind and just so easy going. They have the best centers for fertility and explain the process detail by detail allowing the GV to be very knowledgeable about what you are getting yourself into. It is definitely a process but I’m happy to say I am now 4 months pregnant with my First journey and hope to do more in the future.…

This is my first surrogacy journey and I am very happy I chose patriot conceptions to be my agency. Sunny and Elaine are absolutely great and have been very supportive and always answer any questions I have. I loved having Yuna’s support at my embryo transfer. That really meant a lot to me and on day of medical clearance and embryo transfer sunny and Elaine were checking in on me making sure I was comfortable. I love the support they give me and I would choose them again.
I am a Surrogate and I am happy that I decided to move forward with Patriot Conceptions. The process was easy, informative an seamless. I really like how the team I work with was there to answer any questions or concern before and during rhe process. The team includinf Elaine, Sunny, Cindy and the rest of the Patriot Conceptions team is really amazing at helping anytime I need support. Im truly happy with my experience working with this super professional team and I will be working with them in the future.…
I am a surrogate through Patriot Conceptions, the process from speaking with them and having meetings at the beginning of the process was super warm and welcoming. Everything is documented and laid out for you to be able to make the best decision to become a surrogate. I love the support I have had in this while process, and getting matched with the intended parents was seamless as well, knowing that I am helping a family with bringing their child into the world is a truly amazing honor to have. I am so pleased with my experience, I felt very well protected with the attorney explaining the process to me and having official documentation for the whole process as well. I am comfortable with the team that helps me on the daily Elaine, Sunny, Cindy, and the rest of the Patriot team have been so amazing throughout the process and I am happy working with them in this surrogacy journey. They are super professional and prompt to help and explain anything I had any questions or concerns about. Thank you Patriot Conceptions!! 💕 I will be doing this again in the future!…
Kate and Sobeida have been the best throughout my surrogacy journey. Answering all my questions and checking in to make sure my experience is a great one. Excellent communication. Looking forward to a second journey with a great company.
I was a surrogate with this agency and for the most part, they took care of me. It was a great experience. The only issue was, they didn’t keep me updated when the staff on my case would change. Other than that, my coordinator, Sobeida, was the main one who helped me out throughout my whole journey. She was so supportive, before, during, and after my journey. Also Cindy, who was my matching manager, was very patient and helpful as well. My choice on who I wanted to move forward with mattered. It didn’t matter my reasons, as long as I was comfortable, that’s all that mattered. And Kate, who was my case manager, would randomly reach out to me to check on me & see if I needed help with anything or if I had any questions. It was a great experience and I would definitely do it again.…
First time surrogate here, I just wanted to say my experience so far has been absolutely amazing. Sobidea my coordinator was super on it. From the very beginning she was super helpful and knowledgeable. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to take care of me while going through with this new journey. I will definitely be returning when I am ready for a second one!
They are just so wonderful. They made the process so easy and Sobeida, my coordinator was there to answer all my questions along the way :)
They are the worst can never get hold of anyone they are so rude if u want a real good surrogate company go with prime surro they are good they are ok at first but get very comfortable with you and they are very rude I don’t recommend patriot at all
Im a first time surrogate and from the beginning Patriot Conceptions has been so good to me and extremely helpful. Working with Elaine and Sunny have made the process even smoother for me. I’m currently pregnant and they have been so helpful even being advocates for me as a patient. Thank you Patriot for making this process so smooth. I’m even considering being a surrogate again because of my experience.
First timer here and Patriots made the whole experience seamless. The support from Sunchera and Elaine made it so easy and they were with me every step of the way! Sunchera was even with me in my transfer answering questions and explaining the whole process. They tell you exactly what you need to do from application to legal to medical clearance and beyond. And I am so excited to give birth to a little baby boy later this year and help my “Intended Parent” complete his family!
I decided to become a surrogate with very little knowledge of how everything works, but the team at patriot conceptions was there every step of the way to explain and plan out the whole process for me. I have been so blown away from all the love and support I have received! Sunchera and Elaine have been absolutely wonderful I couldn't have asked for better coordinators!

I am in complete shock with the level of professionalism I just had to deal with. I was sent information supposedly from my doctor, which was completely false. Clearly, there was a mixup, or they had contacted the wrong people since the information shown was nothing I have ever confessed or signed for. falsifying information and being accused is ridiculous. This company claims once you sign up you’ll get a $500 sign on bonus which is a lie. Communication is bleak and makes you feel very unconfident in the process. For example I’m a woman who has had one miscarriage but in these so-called documents It states I’ve had seven?!? I think I’d remember that. Please go with a solid known company vs this basement created online joke.…

Highly recommend patriot conceptions, im going through my first surrogacy and the staff has been very welcoming, always have great communication, any questions I have or had were answered quickly... I cant wait to start my journey😊 with patriot conceptions💜
My name is Kaitlyn, this is my first time surrogate and it's been great working with this agency. They make me feel welcomed and provide me with all the help I need. This has been a wonderful journey, i'm glad to have gotten this experience. I highly recommend Patriot Conceptions and will happily continue to work with them.
Great experience The IVF results annoyed me. I've had too many treatments that failed, so the doctor told me I should stop trying. My friend introduced me to Patriot Conceptions. It's an organization for surrogacy. I talked about my condition to Bai, one of the consultants there, and I asked him to find me a surrogate. I have only four left embryos, so I don't have much chance of failing. Bai found me a great surrogate mother. She's really sweet and ready to help me. The outcome is a very successful. I'm very happy with my baby boy. I truly appreciate what was done for me by Patriot Conceptions. Thank you so much…
Where do I start!? How about the fact that out of six different surrogacy agencies, Patriot Conceptions was the only organization that was understanding enough to help me and my wife. I'm a 12 year veteran of the United States Army, and after four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, me and my wife's ultimate dream was to settle down and raise a family. That was when I discovered that I was sterile and would need help. A total nightmare, especially while wasting my time with these other surrogacy agencies. That was until me and my wife discovered Patriot Conceptions, who could totally relate and made me and my wife's experience so comfortable and personal, just like one big family! This is what we were always accustomed to with our blood brothers and battle buddies in the military. What a blessing and life changer! Patriot helped make me and my wife's dreams come true! If you're looking for a caring, responsible agency who will make the surrogacy journey personal and comfortable, just like one big family, give Patriot Conceptions a chance!…
great place ..recommended heavily
I love what they’re doing for the community! Absolutely outstanding!
