Love Letter from a YFA Family! – N and L

Oh my gosh. I feel like the stars aligned when we met Samantha. She was honestly amazing throughout. She is 100% committed to the experience for the right reasons. Very communicative and definitely took everything seriously.
I think she is one of the most switched on people I have ever met! Meeting Samantha restored my faith that there was good in the world after going through a horrible year of cancer treatment, and she continued to do so throughout our whole journey.
We couldn’t have asked for a better match! Thank you!!

Gina, Lynden & Juli have all found a place in my heart through their kindness, patience, and compassion. I felt so cared for & advocated for through the whole process.

Love Letter from a YFA Family! – EB

We worked with a first time surrogate and she was fantastic. She took things very seriously and was a great communicator. Our case manager was amazing and extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process. When we had questions the agency always strived to answer them and was very knowledgeable. For third party professionals, they were always able to provide recommendations and had great connections.

“I was treated amazing by Lynden! She was so informative and knowledgeable. She was always available when I had any question no matter the time of day. She was also very encouraging during the transfer process. Lynden made sure to not only educate me more on this process but also walked through this journey with me. She’s still very present for me during my postpartum as well. I think my journey went very smooth and there’s nothing I would change about it. I always felt taken care of.”

Love Letter from a YFA Family! – KS

YFA agency went above and beyond what we could have ever expected. We were very nervous going into this process. The team made us feel at ease from our very first interaction. We were sent a match in less than a month and things moved quickly. Everything was organized and set up for us to think less and enjoy more. We connected with 1 person from the agency the entire journey and it was so meaningful to have someone give us advice, guidance, and truly care about us. We would recommend YFA agency to anyone looking for help in having a baby via surrogacy. We had an amazing experience. We could not ask for more. This agency took a scary and stressful situation and made it easy and beautiful.

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Makenzie

YFA agency was amazing! I felt like more than just another surrogate. They sent sweet packages during new phases of the journey and even for my birthday. There were so many personal touches that really made the people I was working with feel like new friends. I was able to reach out any time to different members of the team and get feed back in a fantastic amount of time. I never felt like my questions were a burden and they were just as invested in the journey as I was. They always made sure my needs were taken care of and that I was comfortable at each step. It was an absolutely wonderful team to work with!

Love Letter from a YFA Family! – First Names are OK (Shawn and Francesco); so are First Initials (F and S)

YFA responded to emails same-day, and texts and calls were answered and responded to immediately; we were never left “on read.” All YFA members responded in plain language and in a conversational tone… including with emojis! The familiarity and lack of stuffiness made our journey so much less daunting and quickly broke down the walls for strong communication from match to birth.
More than anything, though, we never felt like we were a just another number as part of YFA’s business: we always felt appreciated, valued, and heard… the empathy from everyone on the YFA made our journey so much easier. We felt valued and respected throughout the process, and the attentiveness/responsiveness of YFA sets them apart from all other agencies we interviewed. We could not have asked for a better partner on our journey!

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Ana Ruiz Gonzalez

My journey as a surrogate with this agency has been an incredibly positive and rewarding experience. Megan, along with the case managers and the entire team, are truly compassionate and dedicated professionals who go above and beyond to support everyone they work with. From the very beginning, I felt supported, respected, and genuinely cared for. I am so thankful to be part of such an outstanding agency. For anyone considering becoming a surrogate, I wholeheartedly recommend this team—they make the entire experience meaningful and well-supported from start to finish.

I couldn’t have had a better experience if I tried! This agency is exceptional and exactly what you want in a journey. Sarah made this whole journey easy, she was always on top of everything and very thorough. I recommend YFA to everyone that comes to me about being a surrogate. When I say there isn’t one thing I disliked about this agency — I mean it. I think they are the best at what they do. They make you feel like you’re their ONLY client! If you are looking to become a surrogate I highly recommend YFA!

“Amazing experience. I enjoyed so many aspects of working with this agency and just so appreciate everyone every step of the way. I can’t say enough good things about my case manager, Miss Sarah Wade. She was my number one supporter and helped me navigate some big emotions along the way. I felt like she truly cared about me, my intended parents, and my belly, buddy.”

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – KD

YFA was nothing short of supportive. I didn’t have the best experience with my IP’s but Kelly (case manager) was there to help me feel seen and heard throughout the pregnancy. YFA was extremely efficient during the match making process and making sure we were going through each step as quickly as possible. My biggest takeaway is not rushing through the match making process. Understanding that couples with the heaviest stories may sometimes bring an added emotional aspect that I didn’t quite take into consideration. Even though my experience with my IP’s wasn’t the best, seeing them become parents was a top moment in my life and truly special witnessing them hold their baby for the first time after years of heartache.

During match Marin was absolutely amazing, she was always available for my 100 questions and never made me feel like a question was stupid! Gina was my right hand man through the rest of the pregnancy and journey, and I can’t even begin to put into words how amazing this woman is! Truly couldn’t have done this journey without her! Truly feel like I gained a sister through it! Thank you Gina!

Love Letter from a YFA Family! – Mark and Tassilo

Really fantastic agency to work with. Gina and Lynden were incredibly responsive, couldn’t do enough to help and always had an immediate answer to one of our several questions. We worked with a previous surrogacy agency for the birth of our first child, but the experience was totally different. With YFA, we really felt like we mattered and we were important. Most importantly, we felt like our surrogate really mattered to them and that they showed her a strong level of personal care as well. That was the reason we went with YFA, and it was so good to see them surpass our expectations.

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Christine

I have said this many times but I just want to thank YFA for having faith in me. When one journey didn’t work out they never once doubted my ability to be a surrogate and helped encourage me to try again. In the end I believe I found the IPs that I was truly meant to match with. The journey was everything I had hoped it would be and I am happy to have helped another family welcome another precious member into their life!

Love Letter from a YFA Family! – E & M

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ While YFA did not match us originally (we used Family Match Consulting), once we were officially part of the agency we felt very cared for. This is primarily due to our OUTSTANDING Case Manager, Kelly Nicholson. Kelly was meticulous in coordinating the many logistics involved in our journey. She was always one step ahead and never missed a beat. Kelly always made herself available to talk and checked in with us regularly, making us feel incredibly supported. When we had hiccups with insurance or medical appointments, Kelly always ironed things out. More so, Kelly acted as a source of emotional support during some especially anxious points in our journey. She was available morning or night to listen during our most vulnerable moments, always assuring us everything would be ok. We feel so grateful that Kelly was assigned as our Case Manager – there truly is no one better to do the job!”

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Ebony Y

I delivered a month ago & this was my 3rd surrogacy journey. Second journey with YFA and I’m so grateful for another amazing & smooth journey. Megan & Sarah made sure everything was taken care of and I didn’t need to worry or stress about anything. I’ve always felt confident and excited for my journeys because I know Megan always has my back and will make sure things get handled accordingly. I have to say this journey went by so fast & smooth because I had the best people behind me and supporting me. Everything was always taken care of and I never felt like I wasn’t a priority. I knew I had the best people behind me and that truly has made all the difference in my incredible journeys so far! I’m so excited to do my 4th journey & 3rd with YFA! Truly the best agency and I’m forever thankful for the support Megan has shown me from the beginning.

Love Letter from a YFA Family! – Adwiti & Vaibhav

Everything was so thorough and thoughtful, whether it was about surrogate’s insurance, legal documentation, and felt like YFA reps were rooting for us throughout, and understood the emotional/financial strain go through during this journey. It definitely felt like the agency and Sarah in particular were completely unbiased. She always tried to right by everyone, upholding both surrogate & parents wishes and trying to find a middle ground. Everything was absolutely perfect, the timeliness, professionalism, project management. Kudos to the team Megan has assembled at YFA, and how everyone helps Intended Parents realize such an impossible dream. Thank you so much!

The agency did a great job making sure that all parties felt understood, accurately represented, and advocated for, in this at-times tricky dynamic. They walked the fine line between offering experience-based recommendations and honoring the feelings and preferences of all parties involved. The most important relationship you have in this process is with the GC, but the close second is with the agency staff, to help smooth the way and enable you to maintain a good relationship with the GC when navigating through things that may not initially feel clear.

“The intended parents were truly AMAZING! I don’t think I could have asked for anyone better. They were so very kind and checked in on me often. They even sent me the most beautiful flowers for Mother’s Day and just made me feel very valued. I got the opportunity to work with Gina, (case manager at YFA), and it was an amazing experience. She checked in on me often, but also was available whenever I needed her as well. She helped make the experience smooth which in turn made the overall experience that much better.”

​”I cannot recommend Your Fertility Advocate enough. My journey to parenthood was unique—I don’t have fertility issues but a genetic condition prevented me from carrying. This exceptional agency made the entire process incredibly seamless and positive. Over about a year, everything went smoothly with no significant issues.
The professionalism and genuine support from the entire Your Fertility Advocate team were outstanding; they were consistently responsive to every question and need. Their gestational carriers were clearly thoroughly vetted, which gave us immense confidence. As a smaller agency, they truly delivered a premium, personalized service that made all the difference.”

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – B.H.

“I could not have been more happy or satisfied with my decision to go with Your Fertility Advocate, especially after researching several agencies in the beginning. A few of the reasons I love them is I always felt heard and seen by my coordinator, Gina, especially when I had some concerns. I love how personable, and on the smaller scale, this agency is. I never wanted to feel like ‘just a body’ and YFA couldn’t be further from that type of agency. I really appreciated the intimate relationship I developed with my IPs and my coordinator, because it made my journey that much more special. The personal touches and check-in’s throughout my journey from YFA made me feel like they really cared about me every step of the way. I can’t say enough about how much I love this agency!”

“We were very fortunate to match with a local surrogate. It seems we were very well matched through YFA’s processes. YFA was good at checking in throughout the process. Lynden in particular was kind and responsive. Overall we experienced a very smooth journey. YFA and Lynden were great. Lynden worked to resolve any questions or issues quickly. All ‘issues’ we encountered were very minor and resolved quickly. I believe there were few issues because YFA and Lynden were on top of things from the start and matched us well. We had an overall wonderful experience. We thank you profusely for helping us grow our family. We’d surely recommend you and Family Match Consulting if asked.”

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Ashley B.

I came into this journey with a great deal of knowledge, having completed a previous surrogacy journey through another agency, but, whenever I had questions, needed advice, or required support, the at YFA team was always quick to provide an answer, solution, or suggestion. They did such a great job checking every box that I can’t recall a single mistake or mishap—even with our quick timeline and all the moving parts involved. Lynden, our case manager at YFA, was truly exceptional throughout the entire process. She was consistently available for questions, guidance, or support, and always made me feel like a top priority. At every major milestone, Lynden was the first to reach out—proactively checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly and that I felt supported every step of the way.

Her attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism made the entire journey feel effortless and seamless—and it genuinely was. Lynden didn’t just manage our case; she elevated the experience.

Simply put: Lynden is extraordinary.

She made this very confusing and scary process so much more comfortable for us and we knew that every step of the way our precious baby was well taken care of. YFA was wonderful.

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Precious

The IPs and I hit it off from the start from our interests to our values. We established such a genuine and respectful relationship throughout the entire journey. To feel so appreciated and supported by someone who was a complete stranger a year ago really tugs at my heart. I am so grateful for the amazing match and bond that we now share. All of the ladies that have helped along the way at YFA have been amazing. From sharing happy tears on my intake call to weekly check ups throughout the journey and daily post delivery. No matter the time of day, my case manager, Lynden, was happily available to answer any and all questions! The entire process was seamless and well coordinated from start to finish. We didn’t have any issues or mistakes throughout the journey. Lynden was always on top of things to make sure mistakes didn’t happen. Thank you, YFA, for making this journey such a beautiful experience!

The IP’s I matched with are just simply wonderful people. My family has enjoyed every moment with our IP’s. We share similar values, hobbies and have become family during this process. The agency has done a wonderful job making me feel loved, cared for and heard! Gina was my main contact and I can’t say enough about her. She walked me thru every step and always made me feel heard when discussing things. She took care of everything for me and made the process seamless and amazing! I love her so much but I have to wear a diaper because she makes me laugh so much.”

Love Letter from a YFA Family! – Beth Garrity and Keith Bolles

“We got connected to YFA through Family Match Consulting after matching with one potential surrogate who unfortunately did not pass medical screening by my IVF doctor. That misstep is what ultimately brought us to Kaylene so I know it was all meant to be. As a first time intended parent, YFA was fabulous at holding our hand through the whole process. It is VERY daunting at first between all the legal work, medical screening, insurance and so on. We really felt supported throughout that all. It was reassuring to know that everything was being handled and we could just focus on the most important thing – preparing to be parents! I would absolutely recommend YFA to a friend.”

“Our surrogate has been amazing and took great care of our baby throughout the journey. Gina has been extremely helpful to us (the intended parents) with everything from travel booking for our surrogate to helping create a birth plan. We are so grateful that we’ve been matched with our surrogate. She checked all our boxes and she has been amazing! We greatly appreciate the level of communication with both Gina from YFA and our surrogate. They have both been very communicative with us throughout the journey.”

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – KW

My IPs couldn’t haven’t been more amazing, they were my perfect match! They were the first IP profile that YFA had me review and it could not have been a more perfect match by YFA. My IPs were extremely supportive through our entire journey, and even through our entire labor and delivery experience. They were the sweetest couple and truly felt like family at the end of our journey. The start of my surrogacy journey came with a ton of steps and I was extremely supported by the agency while going through that process. They were always there to answer any questions I had during match process, medical screening, psych evaluation, legal, and medication starts. My case manager, Gina, always checked in to see how I was doing mentally and physically! We had no issues but I’m positive that if we did they would have been resolved very quickly with lots of communication!

Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate!

“Becoming a surrogate was one of the most meaningful journeys of my life, and I truly couldn’t have asked for better intended parents. From the very beginning, they were supportive, kind, and present every step of the way. Their love and gratitude made the process so special, and even now, we continue to stay in touch – which means the world to me. I feel so blessed to have been matched with them; it truly was the perfect match and an experience I’ll always cherish. Whenever challenges came up, the agency handled them quickly and fairly. I always felt heard, and solutions were found that worked for everyone involved. Overall, I am very grateful for the entire surrogacy journey. The agency’s professionalism, strong communication, and attentive support made the process smooth and reassuring. Being matched with such wonderful intended parents and having the guidance of a dedicated case manager made this experience truly exceptional. It is an experience I will always value and hold close.”
