This Thanksgiving season, we’re celebrating more than pumpkin pie and cozy traditions. We’re celebrating the heart and soul it takes to help build a family. For many surrogates and egg donors, this time of year brings deep reflection and profound gratitude—not just from the families they’ve helped, but from within themselves.
🌟 From a Surrogate’s Heart: “I’ll Always Be Grateful I Said Yes”
“Watching someone become a parent because of something I was able to do—it’s indescribable. I didn’t just carry a baby; I carried someone’s hope, their second chance, their forever love. This journey changed me.”
For many surrogates, the gift is mutual. Yes, they give physically, emotionally, and spiritually—but they also receive. A sense of purpose. A deeper connection to humanity. The honor of witnessing life begin in someone else’s arms.
“Becoming a surrogate was one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. I’m thankful every day that I got to be part of something so meaningful.” – Surrogate, Florida
“Angela and the agency made me feel seen and supported throughout the entire process. I was never just a number.” – Surrogate testimonial
This season, surrogates across the country are holding space in their hearts for the families they helped build—and for the joy of being a part of something bigger than themselves.
🧬 From an Egg Donor’s Perspective: “They Trusted Me with Their Dream”
“It hit me when I got the update: the embryos were strong, and the parents were overjoyed. I cried. I realized I helped plant a seed that would grow into someone’s child. That’s something I’ll carry forever.”
Egg donors often work behind the scenes, but their impact is lifelong. They’re giving more than genetics—they’re giving possibility, and hope, and a chance for intended parents to hear the word “mom” or “dad” for the first time.
“Being an egg donor reminded me how powerful women are. I’m thankful I could give something so deeply meaningful to someone I may never meet.” – Donor, Texas
“The whole team made sure I felt informed and appreciated. I was treated like someone who mattered—which I did. That meant everything.” – Egg Donor testimonial
This Thanksgiving, egg donors are reflecting on the miracle they made possible. Some may never meet the families they’ve helped—but they carry a quiet pride and deep thankfulness for their part in it.
🧡 Honoring the Heart of the Journey
To every surrogate and donor reading this: thank you. Your gift doesn’t just change lives—it creates them. And to every intended parent—we see you, we celebrate you, and we’re honored to walk beside you.
