We've already helped hundreds of people become parents through our uniquely affordable surrogacy programs. Watch the videos to hear some of their stories, and learn about their experience of surrogacy with LittleOne.
Like 15-30% of couples struggling with conceiving, Emily and George were diagnosed with unexplained infertility.
They tried three rounds of IVF, using their own eggs and sperm, but were not able to create viable embryos. Devastated, they researched adoption before realizing the process would be too lengthy and stressful for them. So they turned to surrogacy.
Meeting with the first five surrogacy agencies was a challenging experience. Emily and George found the fees varied wildly, from $85,000 to $250,000.
Then their fertility counselor told them about LittleOne.
Emily: “We loved the sound of LittleOne, so we asked our physician and Dr P. confirmed he'd heard great things about the program. We registered for a consultation but tried not to get our hopes up.”
They patiently underwent the in-depth application process.
George: “LittleOne were so compassionate and sympathetic. It made such a difference talking to people who actually cared, rather than just focusing on the money. Since we never had any success with IVF, we asked if it would be possible to receive donor embryos and to go into the twins program.”
They were overwhelmed when LittleOne said yes to both requests. Their surrogate, Rachel, was an obstetrician with two children of her own, and the donated embryos were from the same parents, making the twins genetic siblings.
Emily and George are now the proud parents of Leo and Arthur.
Emily: “We're speechless that Rachel did this act of kindness for us. We just feel so blessed and grateful.”
“LittleOne were so supportive”
Christina & Gary - Encinitas, California
Christina and Gary met and fell in love in their mid-thirties. They tried to conceive naturally for two years without success before trying fertility treatment.
They underwent two rounds of failed IVF, and while they were coming to terms with the disappointment, the unexpected happened. Christina was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 38.
Fortunately Christina recovered, but the chemotherapy took a toll on her body and her oncologist warned that carrying a baby would jeopardize her health. So she and Gary began to speak with surrogacy agencies; three in California and one in Mexico.
The fees ranged from $75,000 to $200,000, and they would need to pay extra for donor eggs. Even Mexico, which was lower cost, became prohibitively expensive when the additional costs were included.
Meanwhile, Christina had joined a support group for breast cancer survivors. One day, one of the women mentioned LittleOne Surrogacy. Christina was amazed to find that not only was LittleOne the most affordable option they'd found, IVF and donor eggs would be included in the price.
Christina and Gary were overjoyed to hear they'd been accepted into a LittleOne Affordable Surrogacy Program. They now have a baby girl called Chelsea.
Gary: “The staff at LittleOne were so supportive the whole way through. We feel so lucky to have had a place in the program.”
Christina: “Our surrogate, Susan, was incredible. Chelsea has brought so much joy to our lives and every day I am grateful to God for giving us this little girl to raise and love.”
“The greatest gift”
Jenny & Andrew - Hoboken, New Jersey
Jenny and Andrew had always dreamed of having children and began trying to conceive as soon as they got married. But while Jenny became pregnant quickly, she suffered from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This led to complications with each pregnancy and she sadly miscarried multiple times.
With Jenny's medical issues working against them, IVF treatment was unlikely to be successful. So they embarked upon surrogacy. They were quickly disheartened.
Andrew: “Our experience was that the surrogacy agencies were not being fully transparent about the cost. There were many extra services, like IVF, that would be added on to the base price.”
Then Jenny and Andrew approached LittleOne. The fees were by far the most affordable, and also fixed - everything they needed would be included, with no hidden surprises down the line. But it was more than just the affordability that reassured them.
Jenny: “They were very patient and supportive from the first time we spoke with them. After everything I'd been through, that meant a lot to me personally.”
After undergoing the extensive LittleOne application process, they were delighted to be accepted into the program.
The team at LittleOne matched Jenny and Andrew with Anne, an oncologist with two children of her own. Thanks to Anne, Jenny and Andrew now have a beautiful baby boy called Logan.
Jenny: “Logan taught me how to be a mom. My life changed in so many ways when he came into our world. More than anything, he's the greatest gift we've ever received.”
We understand that our fees are still a large amount of money, and the thought of entering one of our programs and sadly not taking home a healthy baby is too heartbreaking to bear.
So we offer a unique LittleOne Baby Promise. If something goes wrong and you do not finish one of our programs with a baby in your arms, we will refund your fees in full.
