By far the best agency out there! Christine is by far the best and there every single step of the way! She cares so much about her surrogates and makes the experience simple smooth and overall the best experience. Her agency is called Positive surrogacy for a reason. I cannot wait to do another journey with this agency!
Positive surrogacy made my surrogacy experience so joyful. They walked me through each step with compassion, knowledge and a high level of personal care which is so important. You aren’t just treated like a patient or customer or another number, you are treated like family. They offer so much support along the way, are quick to communicate no matter if the query is big or small. They truly make you feel important and valued. If you are wondering about becoming a surrogate I can tell you it is one of the best decisions you will ever make and the second best is choosing to go through Positive Surrogacy. They stand by their name and it will be one of the best adventures you will ever take…
Writing about a bad experience with Positive Surrogacy, basically a bait and switch. Around 2023 we were looking for a surrogate, and eventually found one with Positive Surrogacy. The process was basically they propose profiles, you show interest, they set up a meeting between you (parents) and surrogate to chat and set expectations, everything went fine. This is mostly free or a very modest fee. Then, once the "match" is official, the entire fee for the surrogacy agency is due, which was around 25,000, this should cover the entire journey, coordination with the surrogate, clinics, etc. Well, the match was formalized and paid for, a few weeks after we paid, the surrogate backed out due to personal reasons. The match was formalized end of November, 27 2023 and the surrogate backed out January 2024. This is where problems started. The agency then sent other profiles they felt were good enough, but folks need to understand that the surrogacy process is very personal and emotional, you can't just bait and switch. We kept asking if the original surrogate would become available again and got evasive answers, but 'hey, here are more profiles'. We want to work with surrogates we feel comfortable with, regardless of agency, we found none of them acceptable. We've been asking for a refund, they state that once the match is done, the fee is non refundable, which is understandable if the parents want to back out, or there are other major forces, but in this case, basically the match was undone weeks after being formalized and paid for, no work post match was done, ie, the surrogate had no medical procedures (legal contract with surrogate was pending psychological and medical clearance, which she never even scheduled), etc. It felt much of a bait and switch 'hey, here's an awesome surrogate', we match, pay and then 'oh, sorry, surrogate not available, but we keep the money'. As I said, they offered other surrogate profiles, but none came close to the one we had matched with. Other than finding surrogates and a matching call, the agency basically didn't do any other work for us.…
I recently finished my first surrogacy through Positive Surrogacy in November and I feel confident and comfortable about recommending them to anyone considering being a surrogate! They worked hard to match me with the best intended parents and made the entire journey an experience to remember! Bernadette and Christine are AMAZING! ❤ They are the owners of this agency and both have been surrogates multiple times, so they know about all the facets of surrogacy (physical, mental, emotional) firsthand. They answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly, and have held my hand through the whole process! I am 3 hours away from their office, and they still supported me throughout my entire journey.…

I completed my first surrogacy journey this past June and seriously the experience was even better than I could've imagined! And honestly I think it went as well as it did because of the ladies here at Positive Surrogacy! Bernadette, Christine, and Stacey were always super responsive to me, made me feel super special and cared about, and instilled a family like feeling! I'm not the most social of people, but I seriously feel like I've created some pretty awesome relationships not only with the ladies behind the scenes but also with my surro sisters! And honestly I don't think that would've been done without all the support! When I was looking to become a surrogate I actually interviewed and looked into several companies before choosing Positive Surrogacy. I chose these ladies because I loved the responsiveness and the small business feel.... I loved that I was not just "another surrogate", but actually a person :) these ladies showed up for my transfer, when the baby was born, always asked about my appts, and even continued to check in and show their support in the aftermath! Honestly I can't wait to do another journey with y'all…
I just finished my first journey a couple months ago and yes it took me that long to find the right words to tell you guys about Positive Surrogacy! First off if you are struggling with infertility, I want to say my heart goes out to you. I couldn't imagine the trials and heartache you go through. But if you are looking for an agency that cares about you and your experience; this is the company. If you are a big hearted person that would love to help give a family the greatest gift of all; this is the company! Christine, Bernedette & Stacey are great and they always make us feel showered with love and support. The monthly support groups are amazing and help connect with other ladies going through the same or similar situation as you. The ladies you meet on your journey turn into friends and then sisters, we are all surro sisters! If you are looking for a surrogacy agency I highly recommend PS. They are just a phone call or email away to answer all your questions.…
I decided a few years ago that I wanted to help someone have children that could not. I have any beautiful 7 year old and enjoy everyday with her and if someone does not have that and wants it, I wanted to help. Luckily after moving to California I met a woman who was just about to end her journey with Positive Surrogacy and she gave me the information. Long story short, the owners are amazing, helpful, caring and really go above and beyond to make you feel like a person not a number. The other surrogates are super friendly and help put you at ease and they give you a friendly face that understands even when others may doubt your decisions. I just gave birth in May 2018 and even though it did not go as I planned...I was able to give a handsome little healthy boy to his mommy and daddy. This was the best feeling in the world. I can not wait to do another journey with Positive Surrogacy. Thank you ladies for everything you do for us and helping provide the stepping stones for girls to change peoples lives for the better!!!…
I came across this company by some random chance and boy am I glad I did. Before I made the decision to become a surrogate I naturally had a lot of questions. These ladies were so amazing and sweet and never made me feel pressured to commit. I did however decide to become surrogate and it was such an amazing experience. They were with me every step of the way. Anytime i had questions or concerns they were there to help and support me. I completed my first journey May, 17 2017 and am getting ready to start my second journey!…
More than 5 stars!!! These ladies make it their top priority to ensure all parties have a safe, positive and amazing journey!!!! Anyone would be honored to be a part of this agency!! don't hesistate! Infertility and Surrogacy can be a bumpy ride but their caring hearts, positive attitudes and passion for the work makes everything as smooth as possible.
There are so many positive things I have to say about positive surrogacy, as I have just finished my first journey as a surrogate I feel so blessed to be apart of this wonderful agency. Christine and Bernadette were able to match me with wonderful intended parents, in which I was able to give them two beautiful twins. I now have a life long relationship with my IP’s because of positive surrogacy. Bernadette and Christine are such amazing women who have done their own journeys as surrogates so they know exactly how to cater and take care of their surrogates. This is more than just a agency to me I have become great friends with some of my surro sisters and i can say positive surrogacy is my second family. If you are looking for an agency to start either your first or even your third journey as a surrogate Positive Surrogacy is the agency you need to pick!!…
I just finished my first surrogacy April 2018. From start to finish Positive Surrogacy has always been amazing, supportive and companionate. They stuck by my side every step of the way for two years and continue to be there for me. Surrogacy is not just a business for Bernadette and Christine, it’s their undying passion and life goal to put other people before themselves and help create families. They made sure my Intended Parents were not taken advantage of and had to call the IVF clinic a few times to make sure cycles were not going to be delayed or missed, documents were in place and that the IVF clinic was doing what they told the IP’s. It’s not just the surrogates they look after and fight for, it’s the IP’s as well. Choosing Positive Surrogacy was the best choice I made.…
If you are thinking about taking the leap into surrogacy, this is the company to put your faith in. Bernadette and Christine are so compassionate and know exactly how to take care of their surrogates and intended parents. If I could rate them higher than a five I would!!
It has been an incredible journey through surrogacy because of positive surrogacy and two beautiful women on the inside and out! They are amazing! They are supportive and there for you from the very beginning to the very end! I wouldn’t have wanted anything more from an agency! They truly love what they do and they really care about you and it shows when you work with them! Choose them and i promise it will be an incredible experience!
I just completed my first surrogacy journey in September 2017 I am now starting my 2nd journey with Positive Surrogacy, I chose this agency again because they were seriously great the first time around, and have already been so great to work with again. Christine and Bernadette are nothing short of amazing. Anytime I have a question they will answer the phone or email me back immediately, every step of the process has been so smooth because of them. Both being prior surrogates they understand any questions or concerns you may have and take the time to make sure you are comfortable and understand every aspect. Christine and Bernadette take the time to make sure you are matched with a great family. I will always cherish these Surrogacy journeys and the friends I have made along the way.…
