Golden Surrogacy

Agency Review: Golden Surrogacy
Perspective: Gestational Carrier

06/2023: Started my first surrogacy journey with Golden Surrogacy with the sweetest intake specialist, Sara. About a week in to going through my medical records I was presented with an IP profile that I was told seemed like the perfect match for me. Upon reviewing it, I fell in love with the couple instantly and we were penciled in as a potential match assuming I passed medical.

07/2023: Psych evaluation and home evaluation/visit was performed with Katie who was very sweet. More paperwork was gathered in this month (paystubs, work schedules, insurance, etc.)

08/2023: I had my match call with my IPs. The following day we officially matched and signed matching documents/set up escrow and started the process to go to the IVF clinic for medical clearance.

10/2023 Went to IP’s IVF clinic for in person medical screening. Alex, a program coordinator became apart of my team now and coordinated with me for booking my flight and hotel accommodations. She is amazing and made sure everything went smoothly making out a detailed itinerary for me. Two weeks after this appt I was approved by the IVF clinic. The process for legal was initiated as well as life insurance.

12/2023: By the end of this month legal was completed. We could have set up for transfer for January; however, IPs and I mutually agreed to wait for March for transfer.

01/2024: I was introduced to program manager, Kristina who also is just as amazing as Alex.

02/2024: Prepared for embryo transfer for the following month. There was some hiccups with IVF clinic changing policies of dates when they would do transfer. The Golden team advocated strongly for my IPs and I to still be able to do transfer the following month and to accommodate that we just switched from a natural cycle to a medicated one. I was involved in this process the entire time to make sure I was on board with the switch.

03/2024: Embryo transfer! Alex seamlessly set up travel accommodations for us. Open communication via text/phone call was available through this entire process (and journey).

04/2024: embryo transfer was a success. Positive pregnancy test and positive first and second ultrasound.

05/2024: released from IVF clinic to my OB.

12/2024: Birth of surrobabe! 🥳 I have been pumping and shipping breast milk to IPs ever since.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The Golden team was always a text or phone call away. They made me feel like family and I could always talk to someone 24/7. I couldn’t have asked for a better IP match. We clicked on every level and I feel spoiled with how well this journey has gone!

I give this agency a 10/10 and would definitely recommend! 💯.

Golden surrogacy was the only agency that didn't make me feel like a number. Every employee that I talked to there made me feel at ease and so comfortable with my decision to become a surrogate. They treat you like family. If you have any doubts about becoming a surrogate, they will make sure you are completely comfortable and excited about making your decision. Every step of the way was so easy and that is because of Golden. You will not regret your decision to go with this agency either as a surrogate or intended parent. I 100% recommend them to anyone and everyone. You won't be disappointed with this life changing decision!.

I highly recommend going through Golden. As a first time surrogate, I didn’t know what to expect or how to do anything. Golden was there every step of the way. If they didn’t have an answer they would find out and get back to me. I didn’t feel like I was going through an agency. I received hand written cards and flowers that had the sweetest heart felt words. The owner is part of the team as well which makes the journey feel more personal. I highly recommend using this agency whether you’re wanting to do Surrogacy or Welcome a child. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart..
