Even in this day and age surrogacy can seem baffling to most who haven’t had any experience with it. Coming into something entirely new and ultimately life-changing is a scary thing. We here at Same Love Surrogacy have all been there in one way or another ourselves. We’ve been Intended Parents, Surrogates, nurses, and healthcare providers. We all started where you are now. Scared but wanting to grow, make a change, help. Every single one of us wanted to have and to help a family. So much so that we now consider SLS part of our own family. We’ve all been through so much together. From the very beginning of our own journeys to help others together with theirs. Decades of experience and knowledge combined to form a truly unique kind of family.
All the owners of SLS have gone through the process of surrogacy to become fathers themselves. They started where each and every Intended Parent does, with a desire for children of their own, and no clue how to go about the whole process. That’s exactly why they founded SLS almost seven years ago. They were Investment Bankers, Registered Nurses, and international IT business owners who decided that helping others to navigate and facilitate creating more families was their true calling. Who then put all of those combined experiences and knowledge together and are successfully doing just that today.
All of our Surrogate and Egg Donor support team have either been surrogates themselves and/or worked in the IVF medical and legal professions for years. Every one of us has been a contributor on all sides of surrogacy with firsthand involvement in the field. Starting as novices, becoming experts, then coming to SLS because we too wanted to help other women maneuver and negotiate it all. Wanting to offer all the care and support we can because of the understanding that we’ve obtained over decades of dedicated work.
No one should feel alone, misunderstood, or judged during any part of the process. We know, we’ve been there, in every possible situation. We have answers to all your questions. Because there will be a lot. We have support to give and open minds to listen and help. It’s called a journey because that’s the best description of surrogacy: You are starting off one place in your life and ending up in another. Whether as an Intended Parent, Surrogate, or even an Egg Donor; when you go through something like that it changes you, you grow. Over time what was foreign to you becomes familiar. It can become the most wonderful part of your life. And just like that, over 200 babies we’ve helped create, that’s over 200 families! We are all about growth, and we hope that in some way you can become part of our SLS family too.
