Growing Generations was incredible from day one. My coordinator genuinely cared โ€” she remembered everything about my kids, my husband, our situation. The matching process took longer than I expected (about 4 months) but when I met my IPs it was absolutely worth the wait. The comp was exactly as advertised and all my allowances were paid on time without me having to chase anyone down.

As a first-time surrogate I had so many questions and concerns. GG held my hand through every step. The psychological evaluation was thorough but not scary โ€” they use it to support you, not weed you out. Compensation was transparent upfront and I never felt surprised by anything.

Really positive experience overall. Took 4 stars only because my first IP match fell through and the agency could have communicated faster. Once we matched again it was smooth sailing. The LGBTQ+ family I carried for was amazing โ€” the agency's expertise in this area really showed.
