I came across Sowing Seeds Agency after several unsuccessful attempts to match with a gestational carrier independently. From my very first conversation with Mandy and Nichole, I felt understood, supported, and guided—without feeling pressured or overwhelmed, as I had with some other agencies. I remember reading a review that said what Sowing Seeds provides is peace of mind, and that thought came to mind several times throughout our journey. Now that we've completed the process, I couldn't agree with that sentiment more. Mandy and Nichole provided prompt, personal responses to all of our questions, guided us through every step of the process, and supported our amazing surrogate—whom they matched us with very quickly and who was truly the best match we could have hoped for. There was never any runaround when we needed information, and the costs were extremely transparent and represented a great value for the incredible service they provided. I feel incredibly grateful to have found this agency. Mandy and Nichole truly treat their work as a vocation that changes lives, rather than simply a business focused on profit.
View on Google (opens in a new tab)I chose Sowing Seeds because it is a small agency, so I had direct contact with real people who know me by name. Also, they personally know all the families they are working with and the "ins and outs" of the fertility clinics, so they knew where I would qualify and where I wouldn't. They were very much on top of my journey and never missed anything - it was a smooth process from start to finish! I definitely recommend them!
View on Google (opens in a new tab)My surrogacy journey was one I will never forget. Mandy and Nichole were so supportive through the entire experience. From matching my husband and I with our intended parents, to the support throughout the legality of it all, to the supportive texts every month, to the day of delivery and weeks into my recovery process. The girls were with me through every mile stone. They not only made sure I was ok physically but truly cared how I was doing emotionally. I always knew they were with me through this wonderful experience. If my heart ever leads me back to surrogacy they will be my first call. 💖 Thank you ladies for being surrogates yourself and making sure everyone who crosses your path feels loved, supported and take care of. -Brittany
