Story of Jenna & Jimmy, USA

Pregnancy was difficult for me. I have a very rare condition where I get a life-threatening allergic reaction every time I get pregnant. It has been a ten-year journey for us to come to the realization that surrogacy is our last resort to have a child. When we were looking for a surrogate service, we wanted to find an agency that treats surrogacy with respect, not just a business, because we understand how hard pregnancy can be.

We have talked with many agencies and GS is one that stood out. Not only is Tamari knowledgeable about the entire process and can explain each of the steps clearly, she cares about the surrogate and the baby. For example, GS is the only agency we have talked to that implants one embryo at a time. Other agencies implant two embryos to increase the chance of success, and twin pregnancy can be very dangerous to both the surrogate mother and babies.

Our decision was proven to be right. The surrogate process was very smooth and we have our baby girl with us after a year and three months. Tamari and her team guided us and held our hands through the entire process. They respond promptly to questions (instant or within a few hours), and they set up frequent check-ins with the surrogate and provide medical updates of the pregnancy process. As time came close to delivery, GS helped us to scout out an apartment in a country that is foreign to us. Tamari has good connections with the clinic so the delivery process was smooth. GS also introduced us to an awesome nanny. We would be lost without her, and it would be ten times harder. The legal team too was excellent and provided all the necessary paperwork for an overseas citizenship application. We probably would not have asked for more.

Lastly, what sets GS apart is the team really tried to make the surrogacy experience as personal as possible. As parents in a foreign country, it can be very overwhelming. Tamari sets up tours, housing and other activities to make us feel comfortable in this beautiful country. This really is an unforgettable experience.

Thank you to Tamari and the entire GS team!
