A Message from Our Founder

Amy Stewart, Founder of West Coast Surrogacy, began her career in reproductive medicine in 1990, and has since devoted her life to the field. Amy got her start at a Southern California IVF center. It was there she began to realize her passion for reproductive technology as well as a desire to assist others in this worthy pursuit. She donated her eggs for two couples, resulting in the births of three children. It would be 15 years later that Amy would realize a longtime desire to become a surrogate mother. Her participation as a gestational surrogate gives her a unique insight into the surrogate mother process that is appreciated by carriers and intended parents alike.

Laura Davis has over twenty years of experience in the fertility field, offering both professional expertise and deep personal insight into the life-changing journey of family building. Her path into this field began from the most personal of places, as an egg donor and later a gestational surrogate, driven by a strong desire to share the gift of parenthood with others. What began as a calling soon became her life’s work.

Laura has since held a series of leadership roles within West Coast Surrogacy and West Coast Egg Donation, including Surrogate Case Manager, Program Director, and Director of Operations. Today, as Chief Executive Officer, she leads with vision, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to supporting intended parents and surrogates alike. She is dedicated to fostering collaboration and ensuring each family’s journey is guided with care and integrity.

Debbie’s passion for surrogacy began with a promise.
