Erica Horton

About

Erica began her career at Growing Generations as a college intern in 2003. Like most people at the time, she had no direct experience with the fertility world, but she was immediately intrigued when she read an internship listing titled “marketing intern needed for gay surrogacy agency” (we have always helped all prospective parents but back in the early days you had to say it explicitly). As a queer woman and someone with a gay father, she already had a passion for LGBTQ+ people and families. She had a general idea of what surrogacy was but had never thought of the two coming together in such an intentional way. She at once knew she had to be a part of what Growing Generations was doing. When she reflects back, she says “I can vividly recall the moment I saw the internship posting, the moment I received a call for an interview, and the day of my interview-down to the clothes I was wearing and the excitement I felt.” ​ ​Her role in the company has expanded significantly since 2003, and now—as President—she oversees all departments that manage care for intended parents, surrogates, and donors. She is proud to have been part of establishing Growing Generations as one of the most experienced and reputable agencies in the world. She believes our start working intentionally with the underserved LGBTQ community required us to break barriers and forge paths where none existed before and that still is one of our core strengths today. Erica served on Family Equality’s Board of Directors for 9 years and served as Board Chair for 2 of those years. She has two children: Gavin, born in 2009 and Jack, born in 2012. Both boys were conceived with the help of a sperm donor. Erica is passionate about ALL people realizing their dream to have a family. Outside of work Erica loves spending time with her boys and her partner, Dan; together they love the beach, being in the ocean, riding bikes, traveling, cooking, and trying new foods.
