Real Stories from International Intended Parents
"My husband and I had a beautiful girl on Feb. 26, and I can't describe how happy and excited we are... It is so complicated, especially for foreigners like us. Without your help, we could not have gone through this process smoothly, thanks again.
We are ready for a second child now, and hope that with your continued help, we can have a second child next year."
– Sunny, International Intended Parent
"The team were always at the end of the phone to advise, offer their experience and guidance as needed and attended many of the scans and appointments to share in the joy!
We got our dream baby, but more than that we met amazing people along the way and had renewed faith in humanity and the kindness and love that can get you through tough chapters in life."
– Katie and Bryn, International Intended Parents
"We were really blessed to find Amy and West Coast Surrogacy a year and a half after I just experienced another roller coaster of conceiving and miscarrying after 8 weeks of pregnancy.
At that time we were just deeply desperate, and thought we would never be parents. It was Amy from West Coast Surrogacy who lighted the flame of new hope and made us feel secure and comfortable with her professional and detailed explanation about the whole process of surrogacy; also the referral of our fertility doctor who was also extremely amazing!
The entire journey with West Coast was just perfect, and no words could adequately express our gratitude to everyone on the team! Now our first baby girl is in our arms and our dreams have come true! We are looking forward to our next journey with West Coast Surrogacy in the very near future!"
– Jasmine and Victor, International Intended Parents
