One of the questions we get asked most often is: “How do The Surrogacy Foundation grant winners actually choose the professionals they work with?” Here’s the answer.

When Christina and Kelvi Polanco were ready to select a surrogacy agency, we didn’t hand them a preferred provider list and tell them where to go. Instead, we emailed our network of supporters across the surrogacy community and asked a simple question: Would anyone be willing to help? More than 10 agencies responded with discounted or pro bono services. We shared every opportunity with the Polancos. Then we stepped back. They narrowed the list, conducted interviews and asked the hard questions. They weighed what mattered most to their family, and ultimately, they made their own decision. That’s exactly how we believe support should work. At TSF, we’re committed to radical transparency, not just about where donor dollars go, but about how decisions get made. We also believe grant recipients deserve autonomy over their journey. Our role is to provide education, resources, introductions, and support. The choices belong to the family. This video isn’t really about choosing an agency. It’s about what happens when an entire community shows up, creates options, and trusts a family to decide what’s best for themselves. Congratulations to Christina and Kelvi on taking another step forward. We’re honored to walk alongside you. #SurrogacyJourney #FamilyBuilding #TheSurrogacyFoundation #Surrogacy #IntendedParents
