Honest advice for Intended Parents

I’m a New York City mom who took the gestational surrogacy journey to build her family. When my husband and I started our journey as intended parents, we were overwhelmed. We lost so much precious time searching for guidance that didn’t exist on Facebook groups, and costly decisions we’d later re-think. What stood out the most was the information imbalance. The resources and community for gestational surrogates seemed extremely robust and deeply supportive, sharing detailed experiences and guidance in all forums. Why was this missing for the intended parents?

So I built the resource I wish I had.

Whether you're Googling your first questions about IVF, wondering how many embryos to make, how to communicate with your gestational carrier or preparing for a baby. I hope to be the friend and guide I wish I had for the most mundane questions about breast milk to ICSI.
