Wendy was supported by her aunt Linda and our very own Client Services Director, Luc , reminding us that behind every journey is a circle of love. 🤍

It’s moments like these that show the true beauty of surrogacy , the selflessness, the connection, and the dream of creating a family.

✈️ 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.

Our incredible team just returned from the SEEDS 2 Our incredible team just returned from the SEEDS 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, where surrogacy professionals from across the country gathered to raise the standard of ethical, compassionate care.

It was truly wonderful meeting so many passionate and dedicated industry professionals, from agencies and attorneys to clinics and consultants, each working toward a more ethical, supportive future for surrogates and intended parents. These moments of unity remind us that we’re all in this together.

From insightful panels to unforgettable conversations and a few selfies in between, we’re bringing home new ideas, renewed energy and a stronger sense of purpose.

Here’s to continued growth, collaboration, and a future where every journey is supported with integrity.
