They checked in on me and made sure I was doing well, which really showed how much they care about their surrogates. I was also incredibly lucky that my Intended Parents lived just two blocks away. It made the whole journey even more special knowing we could connect so easily. But even if that had not been the case, I know EDSI would have made everything seamless. They handled everything with professionalism and warmth, ensuring I felt supported every step of the way. I am seriously considering doing another journey before having another child of my own because this experience was so rewarding. Helping my Intended Parents complete their family was truly life changing, and I could not have asked for a better agency to guide me through it. If you are thinking about becoming a surrogate, I highly recommend.

I worked with Emily and she was the most amazing case manager. My egg donation process began last February and let me say it has been a rough and challenging process, but Emily was always able to make it better. She was helpful, insightful, understanding and supportive. Given the unusually rough circumstances around my donation I have to say Emily consistently went above and beyond. I especially appreciated all of her firsthand knowledge - she was able to relate with my feelings and struggles and helped me get through the last 9 months. Overall, I can't imagine going through the last several months without her. She is great at her job and a wonderful person. I was very lucky to have her support.

Relative to other similar firms the costs are higher and the contract is structured in a way where parents pay the fee earlier in the relationship than other firms.

We would have been content with someone who stayed up at night and helped us get some sleep, but Laura was so much more than that. She reassured us that we were doing a good job. She demonstrated proper techniques and tips to improve some of our skills like swaddling, bathing, and breastfeeding. She walked us through some of the baby products we had received but hadn't used yet. And she was such a great source of information when we had questions. We were slightly anxious about having a stranger stay in our house, but we quickly connected with Laura and felt at ease with her. She always wore a mask and was responsible about staying safe in a Covid-19 world. Highly recommend!

Laura TRULY is…read moreincredible and helped us (me especially as a new, FTM) actually survive those first few weeks with our newborn twins in the recent months. She is compassionate, knowledgable, kind, patient and caring- and also just a joy to be around- exactly what you'd hope for and need from a Newborn Care Specialist. She was recommended by two separate families we know as the "best money they'd ever spent" and to "run not walk to hire her" and we wholeheartedly agree. From the first moment we met her we knew she was the one we wanted to hire. She is simply the best. We trusted her completely with our children (yes, we have two babies and she was excellent in this scenario as she has a lot of twin newborn experience) and in our home right from the start- something you don't want to have to worry about after coming home with your newborn. I should also mention I had a long recovery and challenges navigating breastfeeding two babies at once and she was SO helpful and supportive to me with that. She gave me so much permission around being flexible with myself and giving me options to help me think outside the box and be okay with it all. There were a lot of emotions I didn't anticipate being a FTM of twins and she was so helpful in me navigating that, I truly looked forward to the nights we had her so I could run things by her and ask her questions. I feel like she became a part of her family and I will definitely be making a lot of effort to keep her in our lives. Run, don't walk! It'll be the best money you ever spend! And do it now because she is super high in demand!

Before Clancy had reached out to me sharing her experience I had never even envisioned this idea and way of "building a family". When I chose to jump all in and give this a shot, I would have never predicted the amount of gratitude and thoughtfulness would touch my soul. I was given opportunities that unveiled my mind to different parts of the world/country, people and families. I was given the opportunity to share my experience with my friends and loved ones by taking them along for the ride with me (quite literally). And I was given the opportunity to share with people the ONE thing in my life that I cherish the most, something that many take for granted, FAMILY. I helped make families !! You guys make peoples dreams of having a family come true and I was lucky enough to be apart of that too! It is so rewarding on such a deep level, it truly touched my soul and changed my life in such a positive motion. I wish that I could donate for the rest of my life. This opportunity was by far the most rewarding and maybe even meaningful thing I have ever done with my life. And I was pretty dang proud of my life before I started this. You two answered every question, concern, were there day & night for me. You two hold a very special place in my heart and made my experience something that no other company could ever match. You are the best.

The choice of girls on the books with Alexis is super impressive. All very pretty!…read moreI ended up going to another agency in the end though for many reasons. I was unimpressed by Alexis and her lack of grammar and the pink writing. I am sure this is a nice and caring way to communicate with the younger donors. But if you are handing over a substantial amount of money to someone you look at the little details like being able to write grammatically correct emails. Many of the phone calls with her were rushed and haphazard...done in the car en-route to another location...Alexis was super in touch when I was almost about to book the donor and hand over money. It was all about the little finer details with me. If you are handing over month in the 10's of thousands you at least want the person replying to be able to spell and if you can't spell then use auto-correct, it was super unprofessional and seemed worrying with such a large decision to make on the donor. The agency I went with were SUPER helpful in helping me find a clinic near the donor to cycle. Alexis was initially kind of helpful but after a few times I was told "they'd helped me" even though the suggestions they gave me were not suitable. I would say amazing donors on the books but I would say more professionalism is needed throughout comms with clients so they truly believe in the process with you!

I spent a significant amount of time researching before deciding which company to donate my eggs…read morethrough, and ultimately chose GG. I'm writing this review because I wish I had come across something this transparent during my own decision-making process. The egg donation process requires far more time, energy, and personal investment than is communicated upfront. Before even being matched with intended parents, you go through months of preparation--building a detailed profile, gathering extensive personal and family medical history, completing written responses, recording a video, and submitting photos. Even after completing all of this, there is no guarantee you will ever be selected. Once matched, the process becomes even more demanding. It involves psychological evaluations, genetic screening, drug testing, bloodwork, and multiple ultrasounds. Donors are responsible for scheduling and attending all of these appointments themselves, and there is no compensation for time, travel, or the impact on your work schedule. In my experience, my calendar quickly became dominated by donation-related commitments. Communication throughout the process can also be challenging. You are in contact with multiple parties--doctors, coordinators, legal representatives--but there is little coordination between them. I often found myself acting as the intermediary, relaying information back and forth, which led to confusion and added stress. At times, it felt unclear who was responsible for ensuring I fully understood each step. The medical portion is also more intensive than many may expect. You are required to self-administer multiple daily hormone injections that significantly affect your body, followed by travel for monitoring appointments and the retrieval procedure. In my case, this required multiple cross-country trips and taking extended time off work, none of which was compensated. Compensation is presented as $10,000 for a first donation and $12,000 for a second. However, an important detail that was not clearly emphasized is that this income is taxable. After completing two donation cycles and four trips, my total compensation was $22,000 before taxes. I later owed approximately $5,000 in taxes--something I was not adequately prepared for or advised on. This significantly reduced the net compensation and changed my overall perspective on the experience. When I reached out to the company to express my concerns about this, I was told there was nothing they could do. In total, this process required a substantial commitment over the course of about a year, both physically and emotionally. While I sincerely hope my donations helped create a healthy family, the overall experience did not feel proportionate to the compensation or level of support provided. I share this not to discourage others entirely, but to ensure that anyone considering egg donation has a clear and realistic understanding of what the process involves--especially in terms of time, coordination, physical impact, and financial responsibilities.
