"I've always gravitated towards comedy and humor, because laughing together is unifying and bonding. You take something that is very serious and feels heavy, and comedy lightens it to connect with an audience in a way that otherwise wouldn't be possible." - @tutsaid, Single Dad of Two via Surrogacy 💜 Come enjoy "Belly Laughs: A Comedy Night for Family Building" with Tut (and 4 other amazing comedians) October 24th! 🎃 Link in bio for event details and tickets ⬆️

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

Behind every grant winner are hours of careful, thoughtful review. 💜 Swipe to follow each step, from the first medical review to the day a family begins their journey. ➡️ Transparency matters to us, for the families who apply and the village who make this grant possible.

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
