Erich & Trent
Our Journey as Intended Parents
They open up about the early questions, the research phase, and the emotional weight of choosing the right path to parenthood as an international couple. From comparing countries to understanding the legal and medical landscape, they explain what led them to pursue surrogacy in Mexico and how that first decision changed everything.
One of the most meaningful parts of their journey was meeting and working with their surrogate, Carol. Erich and Trent share how the matching process worked, how trust was built, and how ongoing emotional and professional support strengthened the experience for everyone involved.
They emphasize that successful gestational surrogacy is not just about medical procedures. It is about relationships, respect, and ensuring both intended parents and surrogates feel supported at every stage.

"A Surrogacy Journey of Love and Strength"
I was inspired by the beautiful experiences of close friends who went through surrogacy. Seeing how much it meant to them and how it changed their lives made me realize I could help other families in the same way. As a mom myself, I knew how meaningful it would be to give that gift to someone else.
Surrogacy is often misunderstood, and there are many
misconceptions surrounding it. If you’re considering it, I strongly encourage
you to reach out to a reputable agency and have a conversation. Surrogacy can
be complex, and the more informed you are, the better you’ll understand whether
it’s the right path for you. Take the time to educate yourself
It’s not always an easy road, there are physical and emotional challenges along the way. But the love, gratitude, and fulfillment you feel when you help a family grow is truly priceless. I would say take your time, prepare emotionally, and make sure you have a strong support system. With the right mindset, it can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.

“Our surrogate Raeven was amazing and we couldn’t be more grateful, she helped us complete our family.!”
After welcoming our first daughter in 2022 through surrogacy, we dreamed of giving her a sibling. In 2023, we began our second journey with Gestacy, and everything came together beautifully.
The match happened quickly, the first transfer was a success, and our second daughter, Jennifer, was born.
We are forever grateful to our amazing surrogate, Raeven. Her kindness and strength helped make our dream a reality.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us complete our family.

“ I t's been worth it, emotionally and physically. I feel really blessed. ”
From the very start, I felt truly cared for by the Gestacy team. Their warmth, patience, and encouragement made every step of my surrogacy journey feel safe and personal. Whenever I had a question or worry, there was always someone ready to listen and help. The sense of community and genuine support made this experience not just possible, but deeply meaningful for me.
One of the most beautiful parts of my journey has been the connections I’ve made with the families, I helped and with other surrogates who understood exactly what I was going through. Being matched with parents who truly appreciated me was a gift, and seeing their dreams come true filled my heart with joy. These bonds, built on trust and hope, have changed my life forever.
For me, surrogacy is about giving the ultimate gift, helping others experience the love of family. My own family was embraced and included every step of the way, and this journey brought us even closer. I feel so blessed and proud to have been part of something so special, and I hope my story inspires others to follow their hearts and make a difference too.

“The first step toward a life-changing experience”
Having my own children has shown me what a true blessing
they are. Through my work in the fertility field, I’ve witnessed how many
families struggle to build the family they long for. After seeing so many
incredible families in need of a surrogate, I knew this was a meaningful way I
could help make their dreams a reality.
Surrogacy is often misunderstood, and there are many

I’ve worked in the fertility field for years and have come
across many surrogate agencies, but Gestacy consistently stood out. Their
honesty, expertise, and unwavering support made them the clear choice for me

“From the first moment the process was clear”
I searched through Google, I looked for several agencies, I contacted several and what I liked the most was that Gestacy introduced me to several people who had previously done the process. This did not happen with other agencies except through prior payment. This gave me more confidence to enroll.
I think it was quite good, especially the communication between the surrogate mother, that Gestacy intervened in the entire process, then the legal process which is something quite unknown in this case and after the birth, above all, Samantan (coordinator) helped me find nurses for babies, payment and choice of hospital.
Mainly, the birth of the babies when they allowed me to go into labor.
The relationship was quite good. From the second month of knowing each other here in Mexico, we got in touch with each other and spoke through WhatsApp with audios, thus being very direct. We wonder how you are, how the week has been, the discomfort you may have felt, the movements of the babies. The final stage was quite positive because he told me how he was doing and thanks to that I was able to come to Mexico earlier and witness the birth of the babies.

“Gestacy made our dream come true with professionalism, care, and an incredible surrogate!”
From the very beginning, we felt protected, supported, and reassured every step of the way. The highest level of professionalism, an amazing lawyer always available at any time of the day!
We had an exceptional lawyer who was always available at any time of the day to answer our questions and guide us through everything.
This was our first and only experience, but it was absolutely amazing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the entire team for making our dream come true!

“The beginning of an unforgettable journey”
I considered it, because I was looking for a way to help people and I think this is a good way. It’s also a win-win. For me, from the beginning I sought to help people, but in a safe, comfortable and supported way. That way, I started looking for an option, and among all of them, from the first moment there was Gestacy. The way I got to the agency was by searching for information, comparing, and among the appointments I had with different agencies, it was the site that caught my attention the most and gave me security.
Mainly, feeling safe, comfortable and supported. I began to see that Gestacy was one of the best agencies in terms of financial compensation, support and transparency from the first moment. Being able to meet the parents and have direct contact was quite important in making the decision.
Physically, I started eating healthier, taking vitamins, folic acid. My life began to be healthier, I walked longer, did low-impact exercise. Drink more water and give up soft drinks. Psychologically, it involved talking a lot with my daughters and partner, who supported me a lot during the process. My daughters knew that the baby was part of another family, but that in the meantime he would be in our care. The support of your family and their understanding helps you feel safe during the process.
The process is always full of memorable moments. The first is when you meet the parents and know their dreams. During the process, the most memorable is when they tell you that it is POSITIVE, you feel joy and you remember everything you experienced as a mother again. Now you feel it in a different way, because you feel on the one hand happiness and, at the same time, knowing that you are helping, it is a double commitment. I think the memorable moment for everyone is when the baby is born. One of the parents accompanied me during the birth and I was nervous and with that joy of seeing the baby and holding her in my arms. For everyone, for me, for the parents, for Gestacy.
Let them stop what they will say, the taboos, let us obtain both good and bad information and value the balance. Nowadays, I would tell them that they will look for the best option, where they feel safe and comfortable. Always inform yourself in any situation.
