Sunshine Surrogacy is a for-profit, full-service egg donation and surrogacy agency based in Pasadena, California, with a second office in Shanghai, China. According to its website, it was established in 2014 and describes itself as an international egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy agency committed to helping future parents achieve parenthood.
The agency works with intended parents and gestational surrogates, and its services extend to LGBTQ+ intended parents and single people, as well as intended parents living outside the United States. Its Shanghai office reflects that international focus, giving families abroad a point of contact in their own time zone while the surrogacy itself is coordinated from California.
As a full-service agency, Sunshine Surrogacy coordinates the main stages of a journey rather than a single piece of it, including matching intended parents with surrogates and case support through the process. Egg donation is offered alongside the surrogacy program, so intended parents who need donor gametes can arrange both through the same organization. The agency's website describes its work being handled by three specialized teams.

My experience with this agency was absolutely amazing. It was beyond better than what I expected and I couldn’t ask for a better agency. From the beginning getting more information about becoming a surrogate, to starting the application process, doing interviews, and starting the process of becoming a surrogate, etc. It went so smoothly and I have to thank my coordinator Melissa S. for that. She always made sure any questions I had were answered, I had all the info I needed, had the support I needed. Anything that I needed from Melissa, I got it and had her full support. One thing about Melissa, she doesn’t play about her surrogate ladies, and you can’t ask for anything better. Leo made it to the hospital the day of delivery and checked on me the entire time. He came to see me before he was to leave and I have to say that he made me feel amazing. I had a c-section and I felt like I had surgery but Leo came in and told me I didn’t look like I just had a baby, he even thought I had makeup on and I didn’t 😂. My IPs were the sweetest couple I’ve ever met and I don’t think I could’ve picked a better couple to carry for. They made sure I got time with baby before we were both discharged and that’s something they didn’t have to do. IPs came with flowers, card and a gift, which I’m a highly appreciative of. I came home to flowers and a gift from Sunshine, after being discharged from the hospital. If you’re looking to become a surrogate, Sunshine is a great agency to choose. They will stick by your side from start to finish.

Mi coordinadora Melissa, siempre tan amable y dispuesta a ayudar en todo lo que necesite.
View on Google (opens in a new tab)I completed my journey with Sunshine Surrogacy recently and by far was the best experience ever! The process was tedious but it was well worth it. At the end I blessed a much needed family with the gift of life. During my journey I never felt alone. Communication was great between me, my coordinator and IPs all the way up until delivery. My coordinator always made sure all of my Ts were crossed an every I dotted. Traveling to NY 4x within a year, receiving gifts throughout my journey from my coordinator and even being present during the birth, my coordinator, flying completely across country within hours of notice just to make sure I was comfortable and treated as so! Shout out to best coordinator everrrrr SORAYA FREAKING PARRIÑO!!
