Testimonials from a Surrogate Mother

I am so grateful I chose to be a surrogate through SPS. The staff is so amazing and super friendly. They made sure I was ALWAYS taken care of despite this whole pandemic. They always answered all of my 101 questions no matter the time of day and made sure I knew I was not alone through out my whole journey. They genuinely cared about my well being and always made sure I came first .
They paired me with the most amazing IF’s and turned a contract into a family. I’ve herd so many surrogacy stories with other agencies and I am so blessed to have been able to have the experience I got with SPS. All the support they gave me is like no other. I can’t wait to watch my surrobabe grow and give him a sibling💙 thanks again SPS!
