Hi everyone, this is a review for Surrogate Solutions, LLC. I am currently a surrogate with them and started talking with the agency in Jan 2021. I can say from the start, the agency really stuck out to me in regards to caring for the surrogate, as well as the IPs. They really took the time to anwser any and all questions I had, made sure I was comfortable with the information, the process, and moving forward, and provided additional resources for more information if I sought it. They have different people for each step of the process, which I appreciate, as each one is well versed in their "department" and able to provide the in-depth anwsers I look for. After submitting my application, I was walked through everything I needed to submit, how to obtain it, where to go for exams if needed, and a general timeline of everything. Though this process was a little taxing, as you have to obtain medical records, and in my case, I had to get clearance from a MFM since I had a miscarriage inbetween my two keepers, the agency made sure I had any help I needed and was there every step of the way. Once my application was complete and approved, I was ready to move on to matching! The matching coordinator with the agency really gets to know what you are looking for to make sure you have the BEST journey you can ask for. She knows the IPs in-depth and after a meeting with me, she sent a list of IP profiles to review and rank. From what I have heard, this is not always the case, so I was happy to see I had say in who I would be carrying for. After meeting with two families, we matched in May 2021 and began our journey. Our match was given to a coordinator and I can say, she is a blessing! I am definately not a patient person and like way too much information compared to most and she has been patient and kind to me the entire way, never making me feel like I am asking too much! Unfortunately, due to egg quality, we did one transfer of the remaining embryos that the IPs had left and they were unsuccessful. Because they did not have any more embryos created, I was given the option to stay with the IPs until they decided to make more embryos with frozen eggs they had or find an egg donor, or I could be rematched, as we were not clear on the timeline with all that. The agency helped me communicate with the RE and IPs to get as much info as possible on timeline and ultimately, I decided to be rematched. Fortunately, I was able to start the re-match process quickly and have been matched with another couple and have started the process over again. Even being through the process previously, the agency still set up times with me to re-discuss the process, to make sure I remembered everything, go over any changes, and to continue a smooth match and journey. Overall, I was lucky to find this agency, as they truly have a passion for what it is they do and it shows every step of the way. I am happy to be able to have so much say in my journey and not be treated like I am just an oven. They really want to build those relationships within the agency, having support such as a surrogate only facebook page, but they also strongly encourage the development of a relationship between GC and IPs, which from stories, has created some lasting friendships. Communication is superb and I appreciate that so much. You are given contact info for each person you talk to and if they aren't available, you are always able to reach out to anyone ion the team to get your questions anwsered or help with an issue you may be having. read more

Where to start... I am a first time surrogate and after a year of research I decided Surrogate Solutions was who I wanted to help me with my journey. There is so much involved and even after researching I still had so much to learn. From the very begin Meg was there to help educate me through making sure this was the right decision. Lauren was so helpful in my matching process. She would send me matches and when I didn't feel right about any of them she was quick to send me more. Once, I felt it was the right IPs, she had us setup to met. She walked us through making sure we felt comfortable and was also able to get to know each other. My first match, was a failed transfer. It was hard but my coordinator Whitney was so kind she talked me through and helped me know I did all I could. After the first transfer my IPs were pregnant on there own and so we voided the contract. We were all so happy for them! Back to the drawling board we went. At this point we were coming out of COVID and things were starting to get back to normal. The COVID shot was required by most IPs but I stood my ground and Laruen backed me and sent me a few that didn't require the shot. The perfect match. From the first meeting we knew. Whitney was so organized and had everything planned out. She would text when I need to get something done or plan a dr appt. She was so great at checking in after appts and just to make sure I was doing okay. Anytime I had a problem or just needed an answer she was so quick to answer. I felt the love from this company. I wasn't just a number in a line of GC. They work with both the GC and the IPs. It's a team effort. There is no one side against the other. Surrogate Solutions helped me navigate through a very confusing, scary, exciting journey that I never could have done by myself. read more

We have nothing but positive things to say about Surrogate Solutions! We have had two children through surrogacy, but the journeys have been very lengthy and not without the need for an agency to have in our corner to guide us through this process. As Intended Parents (IPs) we were nervous about how to go about finding a Gestational Carrier that would want to be a part of our extended family. We are a same sex couple and from our first phone conversation with Gayle from Surrogate Solutions, we knew we had someone who would tell us what we needed to know and not what we wanted to know. We struggled with unsuccessful transfers and two miscarriages in our journeys to have two wonderful children. We needed Surrogate Solutions to help us find amazing GCs who would carry our children and to help us interact with the clinics we used to transfer our embryos. From the uncomfortable legal decisions to be made, to the in-person "meetings" with our eventual GSs, to other hard to make decisions along the way, Surrogate Solutions was there every step of the way. We are now very close to our GCs and have heard them also say how wonderful Gayle and the team at Surrogate Solutions was for them as well. In short, this firm brings together IPs and GCs to create life and families. They have the best interests at heart of all parties and will give straight forward advice to everyone as needed. They were worth every penny that we spent to have a loving advocate for us during the surrogacy process. We still have a close relationship with both Gayle and Katy at Surrogate Solutions. So do our GCs. What more could you want? We are happy to share our stories to anyone that wants to listen. :-) Gayle can connect us. All the best during this challenging and wonderful journey! read more

Deciding to be a surrogate is wonderful decision, but it can also be a bit scary. There are so many unknowns! When I made the decision, I knew I wanted to go with an agency so that I could be walked through most of the unknowns. I applied to a few before finding a home at Surrogate Solutions. I can't say enough good things about the experience. The staff there is so friendly and so genuine. They laugh with you, they cry with you, and they are there for you every single step of the way. My matching experience was beyond expectations. I literally couldn't have imagined a more perfect couple to carry for than the one I matched with. After being matched, my case coordinator was the best! I delivered right when all the Covid craziness started, and she was ON IT. Making sure I was ok, giving me heads up about changes, anything I needed, she was there. I am so grateful for this agency, because without them I wouldn't have met my IPs and my life wouldn't have been changed. Every one will say that Surrogates change lives, but I found the opposite was true. My IPs taught me so much about faith and hope. My eyes were opened to a world of infertility/infant loss that I wish didn't exist- but because of agencies like Surrogate Solutions, people who are in that world have a chance of fulfilling their dreams of being parents. That moment when your IPs hold their baby for the first time.. there's nothing like it. All that worry, doubt, praying, loss, hurt, money, hope, everything- coming together in that perfect moment of seeing their baby's sweet face- it's indescribable. And YOU can make that happen, with this incredible agency! Thank you Surrogate Solutions, for this life changing experience! read more

I have had 2 surrogacy journeys as an intended parent through Surrogate Solutions, and can honestly say that they are the absolute best at what they do. The entire team is so dedicated to your journey and to making your dreams of having a family a reality. I have two beautiful children (ages 4 and 9 months) carried by 2 amazing surrogates that were matched with us through Surrogate Solutions, and they are now a part of our family forever. This team goes above and beyond to ensure that this experience is the best that it can be for everyone involved, and they take extreme care and consideration when matching surrogates and intended parents. They provide thoughtful management to both the intended parent and the surrogate, and are compassionate and sensitive to the ups and downs, joys and setbacks that come with this experience. I found Surrogate Solutions to also be extremely transparent and fair with costs and fee schedule, and they do a wonderful job of explaining these details along the way. Gayle and Didi were my coordinators for my surrogacy journeys, and they were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, warm, and exactly who I needed by my side to navigate this process. They have been surrogates themselves multiple times, so they truly understand this complex and overwhelming process. They were my biggest fans! Surrogate Solutions gave me my family, and there are not enough words to express how fantastic they are and how grateful I am to them. They are absolutely the best out there! read more

Surrogate Solutions is such a wonderful agency to work with. My husband and I pursued surrogacy due to fertility complications during cancer treatment. I was referred to Surrogate Solutions through our fertility clinic, and immediately, I knew they were the agency we wanted to work through (we spoke with several agencies). Gayle and her team provide such personal attention and guidance through what can be a rather complex process. Gayle was always available to chat via phone and was quick to respond to emails. She truly was "there" every step of the way, which we so appreciated (especially since we knew nothing about the surrogacy process when we started!). What I appreciate so much about Surrogate Solutions is that they have strong relationships with both the intended parents and the surrogates, which really helps both parties during the process. I have actually referred a handful of friends to Surrogate Solutions, and these friends have also had extremely positive experiences. We are so fortunate that we found Surrogate Solutions - and we are now the parents of three beautiful children, all born via our gestational carrier. Thank you Surrogate Solutions! read more

The woman at this agency are beyond amazing and helpful. From the very beginning they were there for me through everything. Gayle was the first person I spoke with and she gave me her personal cell number to be able to reach her when I had questions (this was even before I decided to sign up as a surrogate with them) day or night she was super helpful and very caring. The matching coordinator Lauren took the time to listen to what I was wanting out of a journey and to what kind of IPs I'd be comfortable matching with. She knocked it out of the park!!! After being matched with my IPs my coordinator Whitney was there for me through everything. Any questions I had, she did great at getting me answers. The legal, psych and clearances were all handled with ease and it made for an amazing journey and not having to worry. I couldn't have asked for a better agency to be a surrogate with. They truly care and will do everything in their power to ensure that your journey is amazing. -Jennifer, surrogate read more

I completed my first journey with Surrogate Solutions in January 2020 and am currently in the middle of my second journey. The fact I returned should show how much I loved the process of being a surrogate, and how supported I felt during the process. From the first phone call to learn all about the agency, through the application process, matching, and then finally the transfer and pregnancy itself, my case coordinators have been dedicated, easy to reach, and knowledgeable. Everyone that works at the agency has been a surrogate herself, so they all have An idea of what you're going through. My first journey, I needed a lot of support and had tons of questions, and never felt like I was asking too much. This time, I've had the experience so I don't need as much hand-holding, but every time I have needed to reach out to my caseworker, she's been there for me. 100% would recommend Surrogate Solutions if you're looking for a respectable agency to complete your journey! read more

Surrogate Solutions is absolutely the best surrogacy agency you could work with as a surrogate! This agency has been so helpful and on top of things since day one of signing up. From completing my profile, to getting matched and having the best matching coordinator who truly looks out for both parties best interests to helping me walk step by step through every process there is, they have been amazing! I have had a few ups and downs throughout the process and they are always there to encourage me to keep going and to stay positive! The people that work for the agency are what makes it what it is! I've been working with Whitney and she is truly the most amazing heartfelt person and really loves what she does! If you are thinking about surrogacy and are unsure of an agency, give Surrogate Solutions a try! You will not regret it and will come out with new friends that are basically family! read more

My husband and I conceived our daughter with the help of a donor through EDS, and we would recommend EDS to anyone considering egg donation as a way to grow their family. As intended parents, we were cautiously optimistic but also nervous and somewhat uncertain about the process. Katy Encalade and her team went above and beyond to walk us through the process step by step so there weren't any surprises. They were always quick to respond to phone calls and emails. We chose to meet our donor in person, which EDS helped us arrange. We took comfort in knowing that she was treated very well by the agency and not as a number. Almost everyone on the EDS team has been a donor themselves, and they really have a heart for their mission. Our daughter is the greatest joy in our lives, and we are forever grateful to our donor and EDS for helping to make our dream of becoming parents a reality. read more

I have been an egg donor through EDS since 2016. Since then I have completed 4 separate donations (my first to an egg bank and the last 3 to intended parents). The coordinators at EDS made each donation cycle an effortless process. Katie and Kallie specifically, worked with me a lot, checking in every step of the way. I never once felt uncared for or out of the loop from start to finish. This team really makes the best effort to make each donation cycle an enjoyable and rewarding experience. They even helped me continue to be a donor through 2 cross country moves! I have recommended EDS to several of my friends who were interested in becoming donors themselves, and two of them have successfully completed cycles of their own! I feel so lucky and blessed to have found such a caring and professional company to help me fulfill this lifelong dream of mine. read more

I am a 2x gestational carrier. Today I am 6 weeks postpartum of delivering my second surro baby. I used Surrogate Solutions and was matched with a beautiful couple Didi was my coordinator and she has now become a friend. That's the thing about this agency, they care so much, they become part of your family! Between their entire staff, they have delivered 19 surrogate babies! That's amazing! From beginning to end, SS was quick, organized and communicated very well. They always stayed on top of everything and were always available for any questions I may have at any time. But most of ALL, they showed genuine CARE and LOVE for both their surrogates and intended parents. I have never seen a group of women hustle on a daily basis to give everyone the best surrogacy experience ever AND who live by their motto "Be the solution, create a happy family"! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Surrogate Solutions a little over 3 years ago. From day one where she drove many hours to meet me near where I lived. I felt completely at peace, and trusted Gayle and her team to help guide me through being a surrogate. I was paired with an intended mother pretty quick. Our journey got off to a slow start, due to a few complications.However, Gayle kept in good contact with me and kept me up to date on everything during the entire process. She assured me she was always available for any questions that may arise. I recall several weekends and evenings where I reached out to her with a few questions and she was always available to take my call or return my call very quickly. Surrogate Solutions was an absolute joy! I would highly suggest them to anyone looking to be a surrogate. Surrogate of Oklahoma read more

Before Surrogate Solutions, I was adamant that I'd only do an independent journey as a GC, because I felt strongly that agencies were out there to con vulnerable IPs out of even more money on an expensive endeavour. However, the IPs I desperately wanted to help were already signed up with SS, so I reluctantly agreed to also join. I have been very pleasantly surprised! My coordinator (Whitney) has been so helpful with everything from calming my nerves to talking through protocols I'd got from the clinic that I didn't fully understand. (It's my third journey, so I probably wouldn't have made a mess of the protocol, but I can only guess how valuable this input could be for a first time surrogate!) I'm now in my 16th week, and am very glad I decided to give SS a chance! read more

I completed my surrogacy journey in January 2020. Surrogate Solutions was absolutely amazing, I felt like I had a hand to hold throughout the entire journey. Even before making the decision to become a surrogate, Lauren met up with me to have an in person conversation about everything that the journey entails, she answered my 1million questions and more! The support continued from there. You are not just another name with Surrogate Solutions, you are a name, a team member, a friend. This was very important to me when I started out. I am forever grateful for every step they guided me through; from first discussions, to the perfect match, to babies birth, and beyond. I highly recommend them to anyone starting their journey- surrogates and parents alike! read more

I stumbled across this company when I first began my Surrogacy journey. I was interested but tentative because I had a lot of questions and had heard a lot of different information about surrogacy. I filled out an application and was quickly and warmly greeted by one of the coordinators. I expressed my concerns and asked (so many) questions and they answered every one with genuine kindness. The coordinator even offered to have her husband call mine to answer any questions he had! I worked with multiple ladies throughout my journey and always felt extremely comfortable and well informed about everything. It was truly a joy to work with this company and I cannot wait for my next journey with Surrogate Solutions! read more

Surrogate Solutions is the best agency, by far! I interviewed other agencies and it seemed like they just wanted to send us a warm body to see if it would "stick". Gayle took the time to get to know us and understand what was important to us and also to educate us on the process. She was always available if we had questions or concerns. She would also just call to check in. She matched us up with a wonderful carrier not once, but twice. I can't say enough good things about Gayle Garrett and Surrogate Solutions. I would tell you to stop looking at other agencies and call Gayle at Surrogate Solutions now. You won't regret it. It was one of the BEST decisions we've ever made. read more

This is an Official Review for Surrogate Solutions, LLC. I am currently on my second journey as a Gestational Carrier with this agency. The education that is provided from this team is second to none. I have been introduced to many team members throughout both journeys and I can assure you that they will do everything to make sure your journey is seamless. The testimonies from other surrogates is what helped me chose this agency. This agency has a phenomenal team that matches you with IP's that are right for you! The level of communication is another reason why I highly recommend Surrogate Solutions. I am so blessed to be able to be help "Be the Solution" and "Create Happy Familes" read more

This group is as good as it gets. My husband and I chose Surrogate Solutions after (over)researching as many options as possible. They were the right choice for us because we needed someone who is informative, patient, and experienced. Nearly everyone at SS with whom we spoke had experienced a surrogacy journey before, so potential problems were identified and resolved early. They were also also communicative and responsive, which was important for us. They found for us the perfect carrier for our family - who remains a great friend and wonderful mentor through our parenting journey for our twin boys. I can't recommend them enough, and we certainly won't do it again without them. read more
