Our Intended Parents Love Roots!

Hear from real Roots families about their experience working with our team.

Laurie, SF Intended Parent

We were lost. So much disappointment. SO many failed transfers. When we found Roots, we felt hope. We knew it was going to be a long road but Roots was there through it all. We will be forever grateful for our son and the love and guidance Roots provided.

Jamie and John, 2 very grateful daddies in NYC

My husband and I knew that surrogacy was always going to be our path but it all seemed so forced. So corporate. Until Roots. They truly became our family and Amanda, our case manager, could not have been more kind, compasionate or responsive. Thank you Roots and team!!!

Lilu - Intended Parent

My clinic referred me to Roots and a few other agencies. I was really shocked about the difference in professionalism and care with Roots vs. the others. Two years later, we are in the middle of our second journey with Roots and could not be happpier.

Finley W, Single Mama Extraordinaire

Being a single mom entering into surrogacy, there were a lot of roadblocks. Other agencies told me that I was a "hard match". Others told me to consider adoption. I was referred to Roots at my lowest point and I will never forget my first call with Brooke. There was hope. There was a path forward. They brought me Ansley (my perfect daughter) along with a lifelong friend with my surrogate.
