    My entire experience from Morgan the intake coordinator, to Debbie my case manager, to delivery, was a dream. They are so fun to work with! Debbie helped me each step of the way. I was never left in the dark and never felt alone. Thank you for helping me give a family the ultimate gift.

    We initially used the services of West Coast Surrogacy to have our first child in 2022 and they then assisted us with our second daughter who was born earlier this year (2025). We'd split the services we received from them into two parts - firstly sourcing a surrogate and then secondly providing support and assistance as you progress with trying to get pregnant and having a baby. In both respects…

    Well it happened, we have a beautiful baby girl!!! The process is just so hard and long and complicated and while I have no other agencies to compare it to, the case coordinator is the person that makes the difference. Make sure to focus on that when you are looking for an agency. Amy was ours and she was patient and thoughtful and encouraging through the experience. Again, it is a hard process so to have great support is what makes all of the difference!

From the first moment, I knew I was in good hands. West Coast Surrogacy isn't just an agency; they're a family. They treated me with respect, empathy, and genuine care every step of the way. From the initial application process to…

    I just completed my first surrogacy journey with West Coast, September 2023. I had no idea to what to expect of an agency going into it but from the beginning they made me feel at home. They were so welcoming, kind, and warm. Their application and profile process was so in depth and asked questions I never thought would relevant but looking back made complete sense. They truly make sure that the…

    Our baby journey was a 4-year stretch with many ups and downs. But all along the way, WCS was there to guide, comfort, support, instruct, and connect. We found the perfect gestational carrier for our situation, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result - a healthy, happy, gorgeous baby girl! WCS is filled with great support staff and competent, passionate leadership. You will be hard-pressed to find a better fit if you’re looking to have a child through surrogacy.

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with West Coast Surrogacy. After a 6 year battle with infertility, we finally welcomed our son via surrogacy and could not have been happier that we chose to work with West Coast Surrogacy. They are a family run firm, which we loved, and honestly they feel like family to us now. They held our hand throughout the whole process, our case manager…
