    Weird that I was not approved to be a surrogate when I have zero health issues and have birthed 5 of my own babies with no serious complications. This company feels like there is something sinister behind it and that is truly based of my intuition and experience with them. They only have a AI robot ask you personal information and speak with you. It’s very creepy. Do not give them your personal…

    Bad customer service. From first contact, immediately off putting and condescending. Do not recommend.

    We had such a wonderful experience with Roots, from the first call with Brooke all the way through the end of the process! Would highly recommend.

    We began working with Roots Surrogacy in January 2023 after interviewing over 10 agencies. Roots stood out because of their hands-on approach and the fact that many team members have been surrogates themselves. Our journey took 2 years and 9 months before our child was born. While that’s longer than one would expect, much of the delay was due to circumstances outside of Roots’ or our control.…

    I have been a surrogate twice with Roots! I would recommend them to absolutely anyone that is looking for a surrogate. They are always on top of every little thing. They make you feel comfortable and help you and your IPs every step of the way. ❤️

    I am a second time surrogate with roots surrogacy. Roots surrogacy is the best! Had no issues at all they make the process so easy. They are so helpful and supportive throughout the entire pregnancy and even months after having the baby they would still text to check in on how I’m doing! Cassie and Amanda have been very helpful, caring, communicative and professional. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a surrogacy agency!

    I just completed my 2nd journey with Roots and I had a wonderful experience both times. Everyone I met with Roots were lovely. Answered all my questions and checked in with me even when it was just to say hi. Cassie and Jenny were always so sweet and supportive of me as the surrogate and am forever grateful. I am glad that I got to have a good experience doing something that means so much.

  • Megan MellettJan 2025

    I cannot say enough about my experience with Roots surrogacy! I have never been a surrogate before my journey in 2023/2024. I am a busy mom of three little boys and was nervous about adding a pregnancy to my already full plate. I had always wanted to help a family in need and offered to be a surrogate to my family and friends struggling with fertility, before finding Roots. Between the…

    I have completed two journeys with roots and could never look at another agency. From my first call with them to my most recent delivery, I have been treated with nothing but kindness, respect and a sisterhood that I know is like nothing else. I found my passion with surrogacy through them and feel so lucky to have had two amazing journeys with Roots. Matching was exceptional on their end. Their…

    I am a first time surrogate and I have loved my experience with roots so far. Especially with Genevieve M who has helped me along this journey. He is always so attentive and responsive whenever I need her. It can be a bit of an intimidating process but she has made it so comfortable and easy for me. I still have a long way to go but feel so relaxed and confident with Genevieve and roots by my side.
