    Surrogacy Is was truly a godsend after my experience with my first agency. I went into my second journey knowing what I didn’t want, but I honestly didn’t realize just how different things could be until I found Surrogacy Is. They made every step feel so much more seamless, but more than that, they made me feel **seen**. And Jessi… my journey coordinator. ❤️ I genuinely don’t know how I…

    I am a surrogate with Surrogacy Is and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Before I started working with them I looked into and spoke with different agencies to get a feel for each one and how they worked. When I had a call with the Surrogacy Is team I knew immediately after that call that this was the agency for me. The communication and appreciation I feel at all times from this…

    As someone who just finished my first journey February 2026 and already jumping into my second journey I cannot recommend Surrogacy Is enough. Everyone I have ever came in contact with or continue to come in contact with have been nothing but amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my journey coordinator Joy. She was amazing throughout my first surrogacy journey and I wouldn’t have…

  • Tosha FieldTosha FieldJan 2026Surrogate

    I completed my second surrogacy journey with Surrogacy Is the end of 2025. After my first agency was a joke for my first journey I am so thankful I was able to find Surrogacy Is. My experience was overall fantastic. At first I was a bit skeptical leaving my first agency and coming over to Surrogacy Is thinking it may be too good to be true. But then I got my journey coordinator Jessi. Jessi was…

    I am a 2 time gestational carrier, and I have been around Surrogacy Is since the end of 2021 when I decided to do my first surrogate journey. At the time, they were not an agency themselves, so I used their advocacy support. They were so attentive to everything I had to say, and were able to answer all of my questions with resourceful information. They helped me find an agency for my first…
