About Gifted Journeys Egg Donation and Surrogacy Agency

Gifted Journeys LLC is a for-profit, full-service egg donation and gestational surrogacy agency organized in California in 2009. It was founded by Wendie Wilson-Miller, who serves as president and is listed as the manager of the California limited liability company. The organization is small, with roughly a half-dozen people involved, and its website describes two California offices, one serving Southern California and one serving Northern California.

As a full-service agency, Gifted Journeys handles both surrogacy and egg donation, meaning intended parents can work with one organization for matching, coordination of the match and the surrogate's or donor's care through the process, and referrals to the legal and medical professionals a journey requires. The agency states that it works with LGBTQ+ intended parents alongside other paths to parenthood.

The brand's ownership has shifted in recent years. Wilson-Miller acquired All Families Surrogacy, an Oregon agency, in 2020, and a signed note on the All Families Surrogacy site states that Gifted Journeys was merged into All Families Surrogacy effective January 1, 2023. The two names are now often presented together, and the giftedjourneys.com domain remains online with legacy contact and blog pages while the California LLC continues to appear on file. Provider directory listings have increasingly shifted to the combined name.

The agency is listed in the Men Having Babies Surrogacy Advisor provider directory, a resource aimed at gay and single intended fathers. Its provider bio there also notes that in 2025 Wilson-Miller invested in IARC Surrogacy and formed a parent company, RSW Fertility Group.

Recent ownership change: Owner/founder Wendie Wilson-Miller acquired All Families Surrogacy (Oregon) in 2020 and merged Gifted Journeys into All Families Surrogacy effective January 1, 2023 per the AFS site's signed note; the MHB Surrogacy Advisor provider page is now titled 'All Families Surrogacy - Gifted Journeys'. MHB's provider bio further states that in 2025 she invested in IARC Surrogacy and formed parent company RSW Fertility Group. The giftedjourneys.com domain still resolves with legacy contact/blog pages and the California LLC still appears on file, so the Gifted Journeys brand has not been formally wound down.
