About Modernly Ever After

Modernly Ever After, LLC is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy agency based in Southern California, with a registered business address in the Westwood area of Los Angeles. It is registered as an active limited liability company with the California Secretary of State.

On its website, the agency describes itself as a full-service agency dedicated to helping families overcome fertility challenges with a positive experience while making their dreams of becoming parents a reality. A full-service model generally means the agency coordinates the journey from matching through the pregnancy, rather than handling one piece of it. The agency also offers an egg donor program alongside its surrogacy services.

Modernly Ever After works with LGBTQ+ intended parents and with single people building families on their own, as well as with gestational surrogates. It appears as a listed provider in the Men Having Babies surrogacy directory, a resource used by many gay intended parents; the profile text there is supplied by the agency itself.

This is a relatively young company, and its public footprint is centered on its own website and an active company presence on LinkedIn. Eligibility requirements, fee and compensation information, and licensing details appear below where available.

What reviewers say

AI summary of 15 reviews · can make mistakes

Reviewers overwhelmingly describe a warm, hands-on agency with clear and responsive communication, and many say they felt supported from the first conversation through delivery and beyond. Both surrogates and intended parents often mention staff advocating for them and treating them like family. Not every experience was positive, though: concerns were raised about the onboarding and financial-verification stage, including delays and mixed messages around refunding a deposit.

    Women of color, please do your research before choosing an agency! This review reflects MY PERSONAL experience and factual interactions with Modernly Ever After during our administrative and onboarding process. While initial communications with Ciara were supportive, expectations broke down during the financial-verification stage, and the retainer agreement was dissolved in mid-May. Following the dissolution, there were extended delays and conflicting updates regarding the timeline for returning my $2,500 deposit that was a non refundable deposit but they advised I would be refunded as a courtesy. I ultimately resolved the matter by opening a dispute through my payment provider, which finalized the return of the funds. When I previously shared an honest account of my experience online, the agency engaged legal counsel to send formal demand letters threatening litigation unless the review was modified which I have done so now. Embarking on a surrogacy journey is an emotionally and financially sensitive process. My advice to prospective intended parents is to thoroughly review financial verification procedures, refund policies, and communication protocols before entering into an agreement with any agency.

    Modernly Ever After has truly been the best choice! This was my second journey, and I honestly wish we had done our first with this company. The way Aria and Ciara go above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly is incredible. From their clear communication to the thoughtful surprise gifts, they truly stand out.The most impactful moment for me was during delivery. Things didn’t go as planned, but my husband told me how Ciara advocated for me — he said he never once felt my safety was in jeopardy. That meant the world to us. Even after delivery, Aria and Ciara have continued to check in on me, which just shows the compassionate, genuine people they are. Thank you both — and the entire team — for everything you’ve done for me and my IPs. Y’all are truly the best! 🫶

Their communication is outstanding. They were always available to answer my questions, guide me through each step, and ensure I felt confident throughout the process. Every staff member I interacted with went above and beyond. They treated me not as just another client, but as family. Their compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail made what could have been an overwhelming journey feel seamless and filled with joy. I’m truly grateful for the love, respect, and dedication shown by everyone at Modernly Ever After. They make dreams come true, not just for intended parents, but for surrogates too. I’m excited for my next journey!
