🎉 Celebrating 10 Years of Heart & Dedication 🎉

Today, we’re celebrating a true pillar of SAI, Rebecca is officially marking 10 incredible years with our agency! 💙

Her journey began as a surrogate, walking the same path as so many of the women she now supports. From there, she joined our team as a Surrogate Intake Coordinator and steadily rose through the ranks to become our Lead Client Services Director, a role she lives and breathes with compassion, grace, and unwavering commitment.

Over the past decade, Rebecca has helped guide hundreds of families and surrogates through their most meaningful moments, offering firsthand understanding and leadership every step of the way.

Rebecca, thank you for pouring your heart and soul into SAI, our surrogates and IP’s and for being a shining example of what SAI stands for. Here’s to 10 years of changing lives and to many more! 🥂

✈️ Attention Surrogates and Intended Parents: ✈️ Attention Surrogates and Intended Parents: If you’re flying, you must have a REAL ID or passport!

The REAL ID deadline has officially passed, which means standard driver’s licenses without the gold star are no longer accepted for domestic flights.

If you’re traveling for a screening, embryo transfer, or delivery, make sure you’re travel-ready!

Check your ID:
	•	✅ Look for the gold star in the top corner
	•	❌ No star? You’ll need to use a valid passport instead
	•	Still unsure? Contact your local DMV or our team for help

Let’s avoid any airport surprises. We want your journey to be smooth, from screenings to delivery day!

⚠️The list of acceptable IDs is subject to change without notice and available on TSA’s website. TSA strongly encourages you check this list again before traveling, so you do not arrive at the airport without acceptable ID.
