Oh man where do I start! Family Formers is such a blessing, for myself as a surrogate and for so many families looking to start or expand their family. Leila and Kristen were there for me every step of the way and even after I gave birth. From checking in on me periodically to the little gifts here and there during pregnancy. Words can’t express how grateful I am for them and to have been able to give a family their first baby. Thank you so much for such an amazing opportunity and experience! ❤️

View on Google (opens in a new tab)My experience with Family Formers throughout my surrogacy journey has been nothing short of amazing. After two miscarriages following the birth of my son, I came to terms with the fact that adding to our own family wasn’t in the cards for us — but I truly loved being pregnant and wanted to help another family grow theirs. From the very beginning, when I was just starting to research and look into surrogacy, the Family Formers team was incredibly supportive, professional, and straightforward. Every question I had — from the initial process all the way through delivery and even what to expect afterward — was answered clearly and honestly. I was matched with an amazing family and had the honor of carrying their beautiful baby girl. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’m so grateful for the relationship we’ve built. I’ll even get to watch her grow up. I’m thankful to have worked with such a great team throughout this entire process, and I absolutely plan to stick around for my second journey once my body has healed.

From the very first conversation, I felt supported, understood, and genuinely cared for. The entire team operates with such compassion and professionalism, but Teresa, Leila, and Kristen truly made the journey unforgettable. They created an environment of trust, transparency, and security. Teresa brought a calm confidence to every step of the process. Leila’s warmth and empathy made me feel seen and heard. Kristen’s attention to detail and constant communication gave me so much peace of mind. She anticipated questions before I even asked them and made sure nothing ever fell through the cracks. Carlee was a big support role during my journey. She checked up on me constantly and made sure I was supported through the whole process. She truly is a Blessing. If you’re looking for a team that combines professionalism with genuine care, you won’t find a better group to walk this journey with.
