I am happy to share and feel honored to be a part of my wife’s three surrogacy journeys. It has been an emotional and challenging experience, but it has also been incredibly rewarding. Sammantha told me when we first got together that she would like to be a surrogate one day, although I didn’t fully understand the true meaning, I supported her idea. Amazed by her courage, I have been there for my wife every step of the way, providing her with the love and support she needs. Her unwavering commitment to intended parents and their families is truly admirable.
Surrogacy has changed the way I view parenthood, it is unbelievably fulfilling to see the look on a new parents face when they see their baby for the first time. Personally, I believe surrogacy has transformed our family to appreciate others while forming more meaningful relationships. Her selflessness decision to positively impact the world continues to pay dividends every time we see birthday pictures of healthy, thriving children from the families she helped create.
I am truly inspired by her altruïsm, and feel blessed to be her partner. Her decision to be a surrogate multiple times is a testament to her kindness and compassion. I hope her actions are an inspiration to others who may be going through a similar experience, and our story is a reminder of the power of love and commitment.

When the process gets difficult–due to being uncomfortable from my ovaries being so full, when I have to pass on a night out with friends or give myself another shot–I think about that feeling of joy and every part of the experience is worth it. I remind myself that at the end of the day, it’s only a few weeks to a few months where my life is ever so slightly different and that I’m helping someone’s dream of a family come true.

Surrogacy is a long process and sometimes the stars are not going to align the way we wish they would. BUT every step forward is a huge achievement, and even though we are miles and miles apart from the ones and the places where the future of our family is growing, we could not be more grateful that we took this path to parenthood and our dreams of becoming parents will finally come true.

I just wanted to start off by saying thank you for all your ongoing support. Over the last few years of donating, I’ve really enjoyed my experience working with you both. I feel really good about what I’ve done here, and it warms me to truly see how magical this gift is through keeping in touch with one of the couples. You guys provide a very safe and supportive space for donors and I just want to recognise that. The last few days were particularly scary but Petra really showed up for me in your absence Hilary, so again, thank you both very much.

To all the husbands out there: If your wife comes to you wanting to be a surrogate, support her. Get behind her every step of the way. Each surrogate’s experience is called her “journey,” and that’s very appropriate. Join her on that journey. In the end, it’s the best feeling you could ever have.

My surrogacy journey with Extraordinary Conceptions was beyond what I ever could have expected or imagined. This was my 1st journey and although we had a few hiccups it went perfectly. I’m a single mother to twins, work full time, and my IP’s happened to be international, but I never felt a lack of support or understanding throughout the entire journey from my coordinators nor the IPs. I happened to develop a condition during pregnancy that warranted additional monitoring, my coordinator checked in almost immediately to make sure I was supported and knew that I could reach out to her or others in the team if I needed help or support. It honestly felt like being a part of a team, we all worked together to help the IPs dream of being parents become a reality. My voice & opinions were heard and valued throughout the entire process from matching all the way through delivery. The IPs & my coordinators made sure to not only consider me and my time but also my family’s when it came to making decisions, needing to travel, or just general daily needs. Overall, my journey was amazing and if I can do it so can you!
I would 100% work with Extraordinary Conceptions again and look forward to another journey down the road.

Surrogacy has profoundly altered the course of my life, bringing about positive transformations. Initially, my motivation was to contribute to making families feel whole and complete, resonating with my desire to assist those in need. Little did I anticipate that this journey would guide me toward the optimal decisions for my own family’s future. Having facilitated three families in welcoming new additions, I hold dear the meaningful connections forged. This experience kindled a passion for surrogacy, propelling me to work in the field and pursue further education. My encounters as a surrogate, working with a surrogacy agency, and now advancing my knowledge in school to support other surrogates and families have introduced me to remarkable individuals and opportunities.
I eagerly anticipate the future possibilities and blessings that surrogacy will bring to my family.

I would like to thank everyone at EC and the I.P.s for affording me this opportunity to donate in Canada with Analu as my companion, and being so open to the idea! I would like to also formally thank Analu for selflessly volunteering herself to assist me on this journey. She was a wonderful, fun-spirit to work with and gave me such a great perspective on the company and egg donation. She really enriched my donation, and I would absolutely love to work with her in the future. I also would like to thank Petra for organizing a dinner outing with Analu, myself and another donor. I felt so welcome by them both and really enjoyed our time spent together and meeting another egg donor. It was touching to know someone who was on the same path as I, and gave me a sense of comradery. Overall I felt like I was given such a special experience and felt very privileged to meet the faces behind EC. Sometimes I really questioned whether or not I was speaking with real people! Thanks to all that made this happen!

It was so great to be able to meet the surrogate we chose, and that was our main purpose of this trip. By meeting her in person, we were able to see how she is and get to know her much more than we could just from her profile. We were able to ask questions and now we feel that we are ready to move forward with her. Moreover, it was wonderful to meet all the staff including Mario, Ying and Ai. Since there is a number of female staff, we feel that they will provide us with sufficient support in various situations. We stayed in Carlsbad, traveled down to the border of Mexico and did lots of sightseeing. The sunset we saw from the Oceanside Pier was just so beautiful that we would love to visit again!

I just wanted to take a moment to give a compliment to your team. 🙂 Everyone is always wonderful to work with, but Tracy is absolutely amazing. She is always on top of everything and very organized. She is such a wonderful communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with. The egg donation process can be confusing and stressful at times, but Tracy really helps to make the process go as smooth as it possible can go. Tracy has never made me feel like I could not come to her with a question (which I have frequently ;].) She is always right there to get back to me immediately. I know that if I needed anything at all, I could go to Tracy and she will have it taken care of that day. I cannot emphasize enough what a wonderful person she is and what an outstanding employee she is. I always look forward to the emails I receive from her. Even her most simple short replies are as sweet as could be. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a wonderful week.

Once again I want to thank you for all your support through this process! no matter what happens I feel very lucky that I had such a great team backing me!
– Intended Parent
I hope you and everyone at Extraordinary Conceptions are doing exceptionally well. I just wanted to take a second of your time and thank you and your staff for the great opportunity you give me to be a donor each time. I also wanted to express how great of a team you have working with you. I have been working with Tracy since day of my donation process and her unbelievable support, encouragement and guidance has made my donation experience the absolute best. She really spends quality time with her donors. She makes me feel like she is always there, no matter what time of the day it is she responds with words of encouragement and enthusiasm. Tracy makes me feel like I really am making a difference and I cannot imagine this journey of egg donation without her. I am sure she expresses this quality to everyone she works with and just wanted to let you know what a star of a person you truly have working with you. I consistently brag to my family and friends about how special she makes my donating experience and I thought I would return the favour by letting you know how thankful i am for her support.

Thank-you for the well wishes and all the support along the way. It’s been an emotional journey. I am beyond grateful for all of you and the donor’s generosity in giving us this unimaginable gift. There are no words to describe how I feel about her. I am in awe of her spirit and conscious effort to help us realize our dream of having a child. I will be forever grateful!
– Intended Parent
We never knew what to expect along this journey and we are so grateful for all the wonderful people we are working with along the way (like you, the donor, the nurses and doctor, our lawyer and our wonderful surrogate), It makes us have a very positive outlook on the world to know that so many good people are out there helping others!
– Intended Parents
Thank you so much for being so understanding and we don’t want you to think in any way that we have taken this decision because we don’t think you’re up to the job…far from it in fact! We have both been very impressed with your professionalism and we’re sure if anyone could pull it off..you guys can and do on a daily basis! Thanks again Tracy.
– Intended Parents
