About

Surrogate

@mo_buehler is Founder & Agency Director of @accel_conceptions. ☁️ @jessicahodge_ is the Director of Marketing & Outreach at Accel and a 3x surrogate. 🫂 We are grateful for them to be a Magic Maker since 2026. 💜 We asked Monica if she could wave a magic wand, what impact she would dream for The Surrogacy Foundation to have on the surrogacy field...✨ Be sure to give her a follow or reach out to learn more! 💜

When Delaney was born, her birth certificate listed someone else as her parents. Nothing went wrong in their journey. The law just hadn’t caught up. Michigan updated its parentage laws in 2024. Rachael’s family is expecting their second child this winter, and this time they have a pre-birth order in hand. Same family, but a much different law and a completely different experience. Our fractional CMO, @mshahab, who had her son through surrogacy, spoke with USA Today about the power of words like “surrogate mother” and their emotional and legal effects. At The Surrogacy Foundation, we believe no family should spend years waiting for the law to recognize them. When parentage is settled before a baby arrives, the child, the parents, and the carrier and her family are protected. Stories like Rachael’s rarely make headlines, and they show the gaps still worth closing. Thank you to @state_strong_usa, @gladlaw, and @mifertilityalliance for rowing in the same direction on this one. Swipe through, then read the full story at the link in our bio. Clear words. Clear protections. From the very beginning. #surrogacy #gestationalcarrier #familybuilding #parentagerights

Our 2025 Grant Winners, @christina_psalms27 & @kelvi_pol, have been getting to know their surrogate @sierrahoefler through daily text messages and finally had the opportunity to hang out and hug IRL! 🫂 “We were nervous (good nerves), but it was seamless from our texts right into real life. We are hopeful all will go well with our medical clearance and then we can start the next countdown to embryo transfer...The process can move slowly, but also can move quickly. We are happy we have been able to be open and honest with one another about our expectations and preferences. It makes for a much better experience for everyone all around.” - Christina Polanco 💜 Follow along with us as we continue to celebrate their journey as it unfolds. ✨ Follow future Baby Polanco at @ingodstiming_fbp. 🍼

We asked five professionals who work inside this process every day to respond: our executive director, a surrogacy attorney, a mental health professional, a surrogacy agency owner, and a surrogate. Two are Magic Makers, one is a founding surrogate at the National Surrogate Alliance, and three are parents through surrogacy themselves. They are not neutral, and neither are we. They also do not agree with each other, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Read our full blog post here: https://www.thesurrogacyfoundation.org/blog/one-case-is-not-the-system 🤞

Our 2025 Grant Winners, @christina_psalms27 and @kelvi_pol, have officially matched with their surrogate, @sierrahoefler! 💜 In surrogacy, the match is magic, because it’s the moment intended parents find the person who will carry their dream alongside them. ✨ That kind of trust doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built on shared values and open communication. ☁️ Swipe to get to know Sierra, and follow along as we celebrate every milestone with this family. 🫂 You can also follow Future Baby Polanco at @ingodstiming_fbp. 🧸

“It’s a birth story none of us will forget.” A warm thank you to Charlotte Ramberg, 3x Gestational Carrier, for sharing the beautiful birth story with us. 💜 Baby girl McGill, born February, 2026, was the first child born through our $100,000 grant program. For Shannon and Patrick McGill, the journey to grow their family once felt impossible after life-threatening complications led to a hysterectomy. With the support of our grant, a community of partners, and their surrogate, Charlotte Ramberg, their dream became reality.
