Surrogacy Diaries Series with Surrogacy Is Matching Team

At Surrogacy Is, we always say a good match (and great support!) makes your whole surrogacy journey. That’s why we are so intentional with our matching process, and in this episode, we’re diving into what makes our process so special, while chatting with the incredible women who make it all happen! 💜💜💜

Our matching team—Susan, Michelle, and Leia—bring an unbeatable blend of personal experience and professional expertise to the table:

• Susan: Wife, mom of four, licensed midwife, and two-time gestational carrier with over a decade of experience in third-party reproduction. As our Director of Client Services, she blends medical insight with a deep commitment to relationship-centered surrogacy.

• Michelle: Proud mom of twin daughters and a son, former gestational surrogate (completing her journey in 2024), and healthcare/customer service veteran who uses her personal and professional background to provide compassionate, relationship-first support.

• Leia: Mom of three, two-time gestational surrogate, and former nurse of ten years who turned her passion for caring for others into helping build families through life-changing connections.

  
  

Together, they blend firsthand surrogate experience, healthcare expertise, and genuine heart to lead intended parents and surrogates through one of the most personal and meaningful parts of the journey.

Listen in as we chat about our:

🫶🏾 Intuition-Based Matching: Why our team leads with heart instead of rigid algorithms to pair IPs and surrogates.

⏱️ Anti-Hierarchy or Waitlist Approach: How we’re able to match so fast and avoid the 1–3 year waitlists common at other agencies.

🤲 No Risk, High Reward for IPs: The reality of how most intended parents match in under 90 days (and sometimes in just a few!)—plus why there’s zero risk to try, since we don't charge fees upfront.

🖥️ Detailed Match Calls: What actually happens on our agency-hosted video calls, from navigating sensitive topics like selective reduction to mapping out delivery day preferences.

✨ If you're an intended parent or surrogate wondering how you'll possibly find "the one" or you're simply curious about what happens behind the scenes, this conversation gives you an inside look into one of the most caring matching teams in the industry!
