Growing Generations

I truly cannot say enough good things about growing generations!!! I have worked with them on multiple donations for the last 2 years and they are beyond incredible! I want to highlight Arnica and Abby and their kindness and excellent communication during my first donation which was seamless. I want to especially highlight Emily and what an absolute star she has been throughout my second donation. The doctor office's staff that we were working with were beyond lazy and Emily truly went above and beyond to do everything she could to smooth things out. She made herself available anytime I needed her and i cannot even express how grateful I am! She truly deserves a raise!!! I was so thankful to have her in my corner and you are beyond lucky if you get the opportunity to have her in yours as a donor or IP! Growing Generations truly has the best staff you could get and i could not recommend them more!!

I got the opportunity to work with Passion during the beginning of my application. She was lovely answered all of my questions. I knew I had picked the right agency because of her. Serenity became my Surrogacy Specialist, she’s been nothing but amazing with me. She takes the time to listen and answer my questions. I honestly couldn’t had picked a better agency. I’m so excited for what’s to come next. I love that both ladies have been on this side of the process themselves. I will definitely recommend to any woman looking into surrogacy..

Growing Generations is an amazing Agency and Amy Orelli has been such a awesome surrogacy specialist! She is supportive, caring, answered any and all questions I had, and was all around a great person to work with. I would love to work with her and this agency again if I do a second journey!.

I am mid-process with Growing Generations as a surrogate. Yes the process is lengthy but that is part of what makes it very secure! What I was most surprised about was how many wonderful, experienced people are a part of the process--particularly previous surrogates! I have learned a lot from them.nnI was always a bit nervous changing from the contacts who interviewed me, to my intake specialist and now my case specialist. But each transition has led to me talking with another wonderful person who answers my questions and concerns with the same, if not more, gravity! I really appreciated my intake specialist Serenity, who was patient when I was overly excited and strived to get to know me better right out of the gate. I am still getting to know Abony but so far she has been wondrous, informative, a fun to talk to! I am also really happy to have made such a good match. Our personalities seem to really connect, and I appreciate the team who made that possible. So far, I highly recommend working with GG!.

I applied to be an egg donor and was deemed "unqualified" due to an unspecified concern in my history or in my family's history. The agency will not reveal why it rejected me, and I cannot fathom which health disclosure was incongruous with its standards. A review of my genetic history compared to the egg donors who were accepted proved interesting. I have no genetic family markers besides my grandfather having a stroke and diabetes at a very old age (and living well into his 90's). I have no personal health issues whatsoever. Other egg donors who have been accepted have legitimate inheritable genetic flags. I am very disappointed that I lost out on a chance to help someone start a family. I will be using other egg donation agencies, and I encourage parents to do the same if you do not want to miss out on great potential egg donors who were rejected due to the mysterious standards of this agency.

I'm a 3 time surrogate. I have worked with different agency's, however Growing Generations is by far the best agency I've ever had the pleasure of working with. They have mastered the process and have it down pact. Everything was explained and carried out as expected. Never had to worry or ask what the next step was, their team was always ahead of the game. Their selection process is strict, there for is all about quality. If you are lucky enough to be accepted do not pass up the opportunity.

I don't know where to start. This is the second agency that I used and what a difference it has been from the previous agency.
First I talked to Christa who was wonderful, kind, informative friendly, patient.
Then I talked to Caitlin who was the coordinator and I can not explain to you how easy she made this journey to me.
She always gave me reassurance during covid. She was always checking on me, kept me updated almost daily. She never made me feel that it was about business. She treated me as her best friend. Even after the journey was over she was checking on me. Unlike the previous agency I used, Caitlin made this journey smooth and easy even during difficult times and when things seems not to be working well. She told me once not to worry that we were going to find a solution. I feel because I used two agency's I can talk with a sense of knowledge and recommend this agency. If I had to rate this agency I would give them 11 stars
THANK YOU CHRISTA AND CAITLIN FOR MAKING ENJOYABLE THIS JOURNEY !!!!

I have had a great experience with the admissions team, Sunnie was very response and always on top of things. Even with COVID she always made sure to check on me and update me on how things were going and how we would proceed she has always been very understanding and considerate, willing to listen to my concerns and always answering my questions and thoroughly explaining how things work. I wish she could've been a part of my whole process, will definitely miss her!

My first journey was WONDERFUL. The second go around was a completely different story. Between surrogacy 1 and 2 they changed the entire contract and payment process from line item to set fee.. which means you basically gamble with whether or not you will get paid for all the trauma your body will go through. My second journey ended in 2 miscarriages (one which was months of torture on my body), a D&C, over two weeks of using personal PTO, a cancelled cycle the day before transfer, another invasive procedure and a final transfer with no outcome. Through all of that I was only compensated in the form of reimbursement of transfer cycle transfer expenses. Nothing else. I would recommend using a company who pays you for the multiple traumas your body may go through, and not only if you end up pregnant to delivery.

I worked with Growing Generations six years ago and had a positive experience. That was until the surrogate that GG matched us with started to meddle in our family and then took sides in our divorce. It turns out our legal agreement with the surrogate doesn't give me the power to keep her away from my kids. If you work with GG and their lawyers, you should be sure to check the surrogate contract very closely because, sadly, GG isn't thinking through all the potential future issues.

As a first time surrogate, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect throughout the surrogacy process. Luckily I had an experienced friend to help with any questions that would come up. My case manager, Jessica J. was not helpful at all and actually made my journey more difficult then it needed to be. I would definitely recommend that you do extended research before getting into the contract. Growing Generations made me feel like the precious baby that I gave birth to was just a paycheck to them, numbered and all. There will more then likely be misleading information as far as payments and bonuses go, in the contract. My IP's we're unsatisfied with Mrs. Junyent's involvement as well.

As a former 2x surrogate I would not recommend this agency. My first journey was wonderful because the intended parents made it great. My second journey felt like a transaction where all communication was initiated by me. Both journeys my name ended up on birth certificates of the children that will forever be used in their home countries (international IP's where surrogacy is illegal). My husband and I both had to fill out forms relinquishing our parental rights to the last child since my name will always be listed as birth mother. Delivery day with journey #2 I tried to refuse to allow my name on the birth certificate but the intended father threatened to sue the hospital and made it very clear that having my name on the birth certificate was the only reason he chose a Texas surrogate. I would have appreciated this information / more transparency from the agency & / or attorneys office prior to signing legal contracts. I did reapply with this agency but I was not willing to have my name on another birth certificate. Fortunately, they were unable to match me and I found a much more experienced and professional agency who advocates for both surrogates as well as intended parents.

I'm going to start off by mentioning my incredible egg donation specialist Stephanie for being the most patient and helpful resource for me in this exciting step! She and Mayra are both incredible. They're the best at what they do, it's apparent when working with them!
They have worked with me through absolutely everything! I'm so confident in Growing Generations. I can't stop recommending them. They are hands down the best egg donating organization to work with. This comes from personal research and experience!
I appreciate how thorough their investigation on each and every donor is. They assure the best!
I love GG. Thank you for everything! I'm excited to continue working with you guys!
