“I cannot say enough good things about YFA. I chatted with several agencies prior to committing. I am so thankful I committed to YFA, thanks to Marin! The amount of professionalism mixed with personal connection was amazing. Kelly was beyond helpful through every step. I never had a question that went unanswered or a piece of advice not responded to. She was absolutely incredible and deserves the recognition! I was prioritized, valued, and appreciated during the entire process. They listen to what you want, figure out anything you may need an answer to, and learn about you as a person before moving forward to the next step. The little touches of a welcome kit, texts of encouragement, etc. really add up! This is not an agency you want to pass on. The level of “care” will be unmatched.”

I loved working with YFA! They made everything so smooth and easy. They took great care of me from the beginning until the end. I would recommend them to anyone going into surrogacy. Kelly even checked on me regularly throughout my whole pregnancy to make sure I was doing well. She was amazing! I enjoyed my journey and will choose YFA again if I do a second journey!

“The team at YFA is exceptional. We’ve used them twice now. I could not imagine the journey without them. Our surrogate was fully committed to the journey. She communicated with us and prioritized our baby.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – EK
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ – Everyone we worked with at YFA was amazing! I’ve worked most closely with Lynden throughout my journey and she’s been such a great source of guidance and encouragement. I cannot imagine a better match! It was the first profile YFA shared with us and it felt meant to be from the beginning!
Love Letter from a YFA Family! –
YFA agency was great, we were extremely happy with the level of attention, care and knowledge. We had set out to work with a large well-known agency for our first journey but when that didn’t work out as quickly as we had hoped, we found this smaller agency that was everything we needed and gave us personal attention, and surprisingly little to no wait time to be shown profiles of candidates, and shortly after successfully matched. We were completely blown away that the profiles that were shown to us from the start were quality candidates that were in line with what we had expressed we were looking for. Nothing on our list did they say was unreasonable or not possible. We felt understood, respected and they literally made our dream come true!
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – Margaret & Joe
We had the (unfortunate) experience of coming to YFA after an unsuccessful surrogacy journey with another agency. We explored working with a new agency more out of a need to widen our surrogate pool than a desire to leave that agency, but once we transitioned to YFA, the level of personal care and attentiveness was night and day. Intended parents are warned so often at the outset of this process that the agency will simply not be that helpful. This could not have been further from the reality of our experience with YFA. Our case worker, Lynden, was always attentive to our needs and our GC’s needs throughout, and incredibly organized. We can’t thank YFA enough. Our relationship with our YFA surrogate has been and continues to be magical. When our daughter Violet was born, the doctors and nurses cried along with us and continued to tell us how unique our relationship with our GC was. The team at YFA supported us emotionally and logistically throughout, and made sure every part of the process felt not just smooth – but joyful, too.
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Bri T.
“The intended parents I was matched with are the most wonderful and kind people! The bond I have with them is unlike anything else! The were so respectful and genuine. I really can not say enough good things about them! I feel so incredibly blessed to have gone through this journey with them! I felt like everything was handled so wonderfully by the agency and especially Lynden! She was always there for questions or concerns I had and made me feel like I wasn’t just another client. She was there for support and as a cheerleader for me the entire process!”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – AP
“YFA agency was so helpful and there for me throughout my entire journey! They always made me feel special and appreciated! The entire process went so smoothly there were no errors or problems. My IPs were the greatest and sweetest people I have ever met! We were destined to be matched!”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Catie
We are so incredibly thankful that we found YFA to help guide us through this life changing journey! We feel like the owner, Megan, made a perfect match! We were very aligned with our values! We have a great relationship with them! Lynden was my case manager and was the BEST! She constantly went above and beyond checking in on me and answering any questions I had any time of day! I really felt that they cared for me, they would always check in to see how I was doing not only physically but emotionally too!”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – RA
I would recommend YFA to others and in fact have already made one referral to a friend who is pursing surrogacy. Thank you for the support in this journey and most importantly, thank you for helping us connect with our surrogate who has made it possible for us to become a family. What a gift!
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Alyssa H.
I worked with a different agency my first surrogacy journey, and I’m not going to say they weren’t helpful or “bad” at all, but it does not compare to the care and personal level I had with YFA! They truly are on a different level of professionalism, and make you feel important. I don’t believe we had any issues at all! If we did they were minor enough that I don’t remember! YFA is a great Agency! Shout out to Kelly for all her help along the way!!
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – BA
The process was extremely smooth for us. We had the best advice throughout the process- matching, legal/contracting, psych clearance, escrow set up. It really helped make the a very stressful process less stressful. I felt the agency was a trusted resource that we had in our corner throughout the process. The whole process seemed so daunting going into it. But we felt so supported and everything went so smooth and our miracle baby is actually here. I only wish I had moved on to surrogacy years earlier instead!
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Samantha Wyant
Absolutely loved YFA and wouldn’t have picked a better agency! Gina was phenomenal! Anytime we had questions she answered quickly! She always made sure to check in with us and was very attentive! Absolutely loved our intended parents! We not only felt supported by them the whole time but they were so caring and thoughtful during the entire journey!”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – KG and KS
“Early in our process I got a bit overwhelmed with all of the decisions and research – Lynden jumped right in and held our hand through everything. People often doubt the surrogacy process – but this experience has been profound and deeply moving. Our baby was taken care of by a community of caring people. From our agency to our surrogate to the obgyn to our surrogate’s partner and family. Just absolutely incredible to how much love he was surrounded by from the day of conception to his birth.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Lucy
YFA did an amazing job at matching me. During the process I was definitely cared for and there was thorough attentiveness that was provided from the staff. I had many questions and they always were answered quickly and thoroughly. I felt like I was being guided by a friend or sister or someone who had experience but also cared to make sure you had the support that you needed.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Faryn
“The agency did a wonderful job at matching us with IPs that shared similar priorities and values. Our personalities clicked and we meshed well from the start! Plus, they only live a couple of hours from us so that has been super convenient! “I could not say enough great things about YFA! The team, especially Gina, were attentive, personable, and knowledgeable throughout the journey. This was my first surrogacy journey and they answered so many of our questions and made the process so smooth.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – KH
“If you are considering surrogacy I couldn’t recommend Your Fertility Advocate enough. I gave birth to my first Surro baby in February and the YFA team made the entire process so seamless, smooth and enjoyable it honestly felt like a dream. When I first started searching for an agency I remember looking into three different agencies, but ultimately the only one that felt truly right in my heart was Your Fertility Advocate. I knew I made the right decision when the owner, Megan reached out to me with the sweetest personal message after I filled out my application. Throughout my journey I continued to meet some of the most amazing team of women, women who are passionate, kind hearted, attentive and thoughtful. I want to give a shout-out to my case manager, Lynden specifically. Not only did she make the entire process SO enjoyable and EASY, I truly feel like I made a lifelong friend. I felt loved and supported not only during the entire process, but postpartum as well. You can without a doubt tell this isn’t just a job to them, but a passion.”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – JS & MM
“The advice I was given throughout was accurate, helpful, and reassuring. I feel like we were supported during our journey, especially when we needed it the most. Because of the unforeseen intricacies of the journey, we could not have done this without the help of the agency. Lynden (case manager) went above and beyond for us and always made time for us by checking in on us in a calm, understanding, and respectful approach. She also helped me understand what my surrogate may have been going through at times from a pregnancy standpoint. I really needed the insight at times since I never carried and I took it very seriously! I appreciated her soooo much throughout the journey. Five stars!!”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – CC
“The team was over the top incredible. If there was any problems that needed to be solved, i can’t recall anything major, the team was responsive and caring to get resolved that works best for both parties. Above and beyond perfect match and so grateful for their kindness and our ongoing relationship.”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – M-S
“We could not be more happy with our surrogate and the process in connecting with her was seamless and wonderful. Our surrogate is beyond qualified, responsive, responsible, caring, nurturing, and so easy to communicate with thanks to YFA. Sarah Wade (case manager) was exceptional to work with. One of the most extraordinary figures in our entire surrogacy journey (and it took a village and a half!). She would go out of her way to ensure we were comfortable, had all questions answered, that we as well as our surrogate were pleased, and provided thoughtful recommendations and expert guidance throughout every step of the way. She went above and beyond and we could not have done it without Sarah and the YFA team!”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – UK
“We really liked the agency, Lynden & Megan. Everyone was warm and responsive with lots of thoughtful small touches. We liked that the GC felt more of the focus than the IPs, this hasn’t been the vibe with other agencies that seem very IP centric and we don’t love that approach.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Jasmine
“They treated me with kindness and respect. My values and priorities were all taken into consideration. I felt very taken care of and nothing was never left unanswered.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Michaela
“We have loved working with the agency and are even considering doing so again. I don’t think many people can set my husband and I at ease the way everyone has through this process. It was the best experience to have with all involved.”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – AS
From the get-go, Megan was open, honest, and supportive regarding the entire surrogacy journey. Moving forward, each team member we spoke with was encouraging and kind. Emails were our main line of communication and I feel the company did a great job in keeping us in the loop. Our surrogate was amazing. She was so committed and resilient. She went above and beyond through her planning, communication, and kindness. I honestly cannot think of any issues that came up! This was a shockingly smooth journey and overall wonderful experience <3"
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – EH
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better agency to work with. I feel like the agency did a really great job at communicating and getting things done quickly. I don’t think we came across with any issues throughout my surrogacy journey. I feel like everything went extremely smoothly. My IPs were a perfect match!
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Elizabeth Ruiz
“Throughout my entire journey, I felt truly supported and cared for by the agency. They consistently checked in on my feelings, ensuring that I was doing okay. This incredible team embodies humility and authenticity, and I am so grateful for their genuine approach. I feel incredibly grateful to have had such amazing IP parents who stood by me every step of the way. Their unwavering support truly made my journey special, and I’m thrilled that we still stay in touch. It fills my heart with joy to witness their happiness and to know that they cherish their little one so deeply!”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Ebony Y
“Megan is the reason I chose to do surrogacy a second time after a not so great experience with my first agency. She never pushed me and always made sure all my questions were answered. She never questioned what I asked for and what I felt I was worth as a surrogate and was looking for in a match. My journey was magical and I got the med-free VBAC I wanted. I know baby’s thriving and that’s all that matters to me.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Kelly
“I have completed two journeys with YFA and both were great matches. Megan took the time to listen to what was important to me and quickly found intended parents that were the perfect fit. The matching team truly cares and takes the time to make thoughtful matches. I was never just a number to them. I feel that it isn’t until issues arise that you truly find out what people are made of and throughout two journeys – there were a couple difficult moments but the YFA team handled each situation with such professionalism and care. They always helped find a solution and I was never left on my own to navigate issues. My case managers Sarah and Gina were there every step of the way. You can tell these ladies really care and back up all that heart with professionalism and expertise.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Quishia
“My IPs were absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have picked a better couple to go on this journey with. Our communication was wonderful, they came into town a couple of times throughout the pregnancy. They treated my kids with so much love, I knew they’d make amazing parents. Megan and Sarah were amazing to work with. Any questions or concerns I had were answered with kindness.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Samantha Mathews
“The communication was one of my favorite things about the YFA staff. They were constantly reached out to check in on me or update me on progress. There was never a delay in the progress of my journey. YFA kept me up to date on information and helped me keep things moving along. Our match was 100% the perfect match. We are extremely pleased with our IPs and the relationship we have!”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – Clare
“I cannot express enough how much YFA turned our infertility/surrogacy experience around for us. Were it not for YFA, I’m not sure we would have had the strength to continue after so many losses and failures. We had previously been matched with a different, larger agency who treated us like a nameless, faceless entity — their communication with us was dismissive, often verging on abusive. We got the distinct impression that IPs did not matter at all from that agency; that we were open targets for abuse/manipulation, and we often felt this agency took advantage of our desperation and fragile emotional state.
From the first conversation I had with Megan (the owner) on the phone, I knew YFA was different. I cried after our call because it was the first time I had been treated with such empathy and understanding this entire journey. I didn’t know an agency like this could even exist in this industry. Megan’s own experience with infertility and as an IP added a layer of shared understanding — plus, it was clear Megan was smart and professional and ethical. She helped us navigate some difficult situations with Dr. with professionalism and care. When our first match with our first surrogate fell through, Megan told us she would open her books to us and set up a match meeting with whoever we wanted. She also said if we found another agency, she would be happy to refund us, and that her only goal was for us to have a healthy baby. We were so, so, so incredibly touched by Megan’s humanity. I’m crying writing about it even now. It meant so much to us and came at a time where we had almost lost hope.
The team at YFA was also fantastic. We always felt heard and supported. They went above and beyond to make things happen — for example, FaceTiming with our surrogate at 5am to ensure she took her PIO shot on time, setting up appointments with a nutritionist, helping us find a hotel for when our OB wanted our surrogate to move to LA to be close to the hospital to deliver. We felt like ALL parties in our journey mattered and that YFA cared about everyone’s experience.
So yes, to conclude — Matthew and I both felt like we mattered, which we do not take for granted, especially in this industry and given our history. We mark our 5 year experience with infertility as “before YFA” and “after YFA.” This experience was always going to be hard, but it made such a difference to go through this journey feeling supported by a team, with the right people who really cared about us. Thank you, thank you, thank you YFA.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Mia Polaski
My IPs were nothing short of amazing! They supported me in every way a pair of intended parents can, and made me feel so loved and appreciated! Anytime I had a question or needed clarification on something, Lynden was available and willing to answer me no matter the time of day! I couldn’t have been more lucky to have Lynden as my case manager! She was amazing and made me feel so special as a surrogate!”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – Carly and Nick
“Our surrogate was absolutely incredible. This was our 2nd journey and we could not have asked for a more compassionate, thoughtful, generous, patient and brave person to work with. She was exceptionally committed, patient and understanding with hiccups along the way, and overly communicative with us in the most amazing way. She kept our baby safe, was conservative when unsure what to do, and all around a magical superstar. We had a complicated journey with some unforeseen medical issues in the pregnancy and YFA was quick to jump on board and problem solve for us and our surrogate within minutes! The team at YFA is 100000/10. We cannot recommend working with them enough. Megan and her team are absolute rockstars and so understanding and helpful in navigating the process. Our case manager, Kelly, was so responsive and on top of helping us figure out every situation with an amazing sense of urgency, thoughtfulness for both us as IPs and to our surrogate, and with an incredible attention to detail. YFA knows what they are doing in every situation. They were so resourceful for us in a number of different situations and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better or more helpful team – across the board!”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Dania
YFA made it a priority to get things done quick, efficiently, and smoothly as possibly. Having done 2 surrogacy journeys, there were a few bumps on the road but that’s expected. YFA definitely was so patient when those bumps appeared and they tried their very best to find solutions that worked with everyone involved. They were amazing on making the intended parents and myself feel heard, very understanding on how we felt, and were very supportive.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Adriana P
“I love this agency. The were always in top of everything in a timely manner. My case manager, Lynden, was the best! She was very efficient. I had all the help I needed and more.”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – L.B.
YFA matched us with a GC who was perfect for what we were looking for. Sarah Wade (case manager) was very attentive and helpful, as well as genuinely caring about us Our surrogate was amazing, and always responsive when I communicated. We are still texting now, even after our baby has been born. She’s an awesome lady, and we will forever be grateful to her.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Kenzie
“One of the perks to YFA was not having to sweat the intimidating stuff because I was pointed in the right direction and guided through everything. Could not imagine going through this process without their guidance. Lynden was my case manager and she couldn’t have been more sweet or thoughtful. She was there for every question, every pep talk, and every milestone to cheer me on! I had simply the best IPs. Throughout this journey they became another branch of our family. We called ourselves the dream team because we were in this together every step of the way.”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Courtney
“The parents I matched with are amazing, we intend on continuing this relationship we have formed and I couldn’t be more excited for them! ? The process was overall very smooth and streamlined. This whole process was so nice, I felt taken care of and like I was a priority throughout.”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – Lucy Carson
“We could not have asked for a more incredible surrogate. We thanked our lucky stars every day for her. There are enough logistics to make your head spin, but the agency was heroic about troubleshooting with us, and we never fully succumbed to the chaos because we knew the agency had our backs. Even when things went awry, we always felt YFA was on our (ours and our surrogate’s side) and there to help in real ways that we deeply appreciated. We felt very supported and cared for, every step of the way. Absolutely nothing but wonderful things to say about this agency.”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – Jenny Halper
Our surrogate was absolutely incredible. I genuinely felt like we were in it together and she’s family for life now. We had zero issues in the entire process from start to finish!! I felt like they understood our urgency to move things forward quickly. Could not recommend YFA more”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – Mavyn Evans
“Literally a perfect match with the IPs, to the point where we are actual family and planning future trips and holidays together! I loved my teams from YFA, to the fertility clinic, to the hospital and doctors offices!”
Love Letter from a YFA Surrogate! – JA
Megan and Sarah did an amazing job matching my IPs and I. They were exactly what I wanted and it worked out beautifully! We had a lot of insurance issues but I felt as though Sarah was on top of everything. She reassured me throughout the whole process. I always got prompt responses and if the answer was unknown, it was always researched or the appropriate people were asked. Sarah did a great job on making sure everything went smoothly for me!”
Love Letter from a YFA Family! – A & A
“Megan and Sarah and everyone at the agency were fantastic from start to finish. We interviewed a number of agencies and YFA stood out for their caring nature and attentiveness. It was tough to make the decision but they have proved themselves at every step of the way AND THEN SOME. They are personal, caring, wonderful people who have helped us with something we thought impossible. We would recommend YFA to anyone who wants a beautiful experience from something that is often very difficult to get your head around. Thank you YFA!”

Megan –
We will never be able to thank you enough. You gave us the greatest gift of all and we are forever grateful for you and the role you played in making our family. You are so talented, you made us feel calm when we were the most scared. Your positive energy and the love you pour into your work is so inspiring. Thank you for everything! We are excited to work with you on our next journey! XO
