Second Bloom Surrogacy is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy agency based in Eagle, Idaho. It coordinates gestational surrogacy journeys for both intended parents and surrogates, and according to its website it works with clients and gestational carriers nationwide rather than limiting its program to one region.
The agency is founder-led. On its site, the founder is identified by first name, Chelsea, and described as a two-time surrogate and a former surrogacy case manager — an identity the agency highlights as part of how it approaches the work. The site also refers to a wider team supporting its programs.
As a full-service agency, Second Bloom handles matching between intended parents and surrogates and then stays involved through case management and coordination from the match itself through birth and the post-birth period. That model means one organization guides the practical timeline — screening and matching, communication between the two sides, and the logistics that follow a confirmed pregnancy — rather than referring families out for each stage separately.
Second Bloom applies standard screening criteria to surrogate applicants, including age, body mass index, prior pregnancy and prior cesarean limits, and requires that applicants be U.S. citizens or permanent residents; it does not work with surrogates living outside the United States. Those requirements, along with published fee and compensation figures, are laid out in the tables below.
The agency is an active entity and has not reported a recent change of ownership. Its public footprint — including its website presence and an award reference it cites — dates from 2025, consistent with a newly established practice. Office hours listed on its site are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mountain time.

View on Google (opens in a new tab)I normally never write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience because Chelsea truly changed our journey to becoming parents. I first met Chelsea when she was working at another surrogacy agency, and she was the person who matched us with our current surrogate. At the time, most agencies were telling us the wait could be up to 24 months. Chelsea listened carefully to our situation and what we were hoping for, and incredibly, she matched us in a single phone call. Our wait time was essentially zero. It felt almost unbelievable after hearing such long timelines everywhere else. What stood out most about Chelsea was how much she genuinely cared. She takes the time to really listen, understand what families need, and she works incredibly hard to make the right match. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her — she truly cares about the people she helps. Our experience with her was nothing short of amazing, and we are forever grateful because that match led us to the surrogate who is helping us bring our child into the world. I created this Google account specifically to write this review because I want to remain anonymous to protect the privacy of our child. I know that can sometimes make reviews seem less credible, but I felt it was important to share our story while keeping our family private. If you are considering surrogacy and have the chance to work with Chelsea and her agency, you will be in incredibly caring and capable hands. She has a rare ability to bring the right people together, and we will always be grateful for the role she played in our journey.
View on Google (opens in a new tab)When I decided to become a surrogate, I contacted many companies, but most of them made me feel like just a product. When I finally spoke with Chelsea, everything changed. She took the time to answer all my questions with kindness, a smile, and made me feel truly heard and appreciated. She was always checking in on me and guided me through every step of the process. I genuinely appreciate having had the chance to work with her — she is an incredible person.
