  • Piper SalcedoJan 2026Surrogate

    Being a surrogate was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever done. In November 2022, I gave birth to a perfect baby boy, and it’s something I’ll always carry in my heart. This agency made the entire experience feel safe, supported, and truly special from start to finish. I was never once left in the dark. No matter what came up, I always had someone to talk to, someone to explain things, and…

    In 2018, I was 35 years old and had already endured a long journey through multiple miscarriages and a cancer diagnosis that left me unable to carry a pregnancy. My medical team recommended surrogacy as the safest way to have the child we had so desperately longed for. My husband and I did a speedy IVF cycle to freeze embryos before I began chemotherapy. After I finished cancer treatment and…

    I had an incredible experience as a surrogate with Genesis Surrogacy, and I cannot recommend them enough. From the very beginning, every member of the staff was supportive, professional, and genuinely caring. They made sure I felt informed, respected, and valued throughout the entire journey. The team was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer reassurance whenever I…

    I was blessed to be able to complete 3 journeys with Genesis as a Gestational Surrogate and I have nothing but good things to say about them! They are warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and very protective of their surrogates and IPs! I felt cared for in every way and would highly recommend them to new and experienced surrogates alike!

  • Angelina EspinosaDec 2025Surrogate

    I have been a surrogate with Genesis for years now. I am currently on my 3rd journey. They have been nothing but wonderful from the very beginning. They walk you through every step and are there for you whenever you need them. I had hyperemesis on my 2ns journey and they were all so accommodating and the best at dealing with everything so I don’t have to. They got me the care I needed and were…

  • Dustin HarperDec 2025Intended Parent

    We had an amazing experience with Genesis from start to finish. From day one, they were incredibly informative and transparent, walking us through each step so we always understood what was happening and why. They were prompt, proactive, and consistently ahead of the curve, which made a huge difference in a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming. The matching stage was exceptional. They…

  • Michelle FlynnDec 2025Surrogate

    I had the pleasure of working with Genesis during my surrogacy journey. Kelly was the first person I talked to. I knew immediately that this was more than a business, this was a group of very caring people, a family. Kelly was patient and caring through my early steps and she still is an amazing and caring part of my life 5 years later. She was so sweet to me when I was meeting my IP for the…

From the very beginning, I felt genuinely cared for, informed, and respected. The team was organized, compassionate, and always made sure I felt prepared and supported throughout the entire journey. The family I…

  • Deanna BarkerNov 2025Surrogate

    Genesis Group… where do I start. I was a first time surrogate and had all the first time nerves. I was lucky to have Jennifer as my intake coordinator she is so full of knowledge but wrapped up in so much love and support! She never leaves a stone unturned! After going through the process of getting cleared and on to finding the right IP’s Jenn was so intentional on making the match perfect! And…

  • Kelly DethlefsNov 2025Surrogate

    I’ve completed three beautiful surrogacy journeys with this agency. My first delivery was in 2014 and my last was in 2017. Throughout each journey, my coordinators were right there beside me, guiding, supporting, and lifting me up every step of the way. The entire team is made up of the sweetest, most compassionate women who truly make you feel cared for and appreciated. I’m so grateful for the…
